This thread confuses me.

I think we can all agree the current implementation is not very good. That is not in question.

But...

Isn't the point of this server, and in particular green, to emulate the classic timeline of EverQuest? If you prefer how SOE changed the mechanics months later and can't wait, why not play on blue? What's the point of a classic timelined server that violates the timeline constantly?

(For the record, IMO pets should be getting full xp and all the other dumb mechanics SOE launched with should be in right now, but not my server)

Problem with the "but it is classic" argument is that it is selectively classic. Things are not implemented because they will be patched out shortly. Not implemented because it would be too harsh. Not implemented for balance to be true to how the game should be.


Right now we should be able to loot other peoples corpses when they die. All kids of nasty foul stuff like that when the game was released. Also things that will make classes overpowered are selectively left out , like being able to afk farm with pet.
