Out of those who did it's even fewer who can actually remember what the game was like back then in terms of population.
I would have to disagree, I joined in early 2000 and the manastone was well known but they had already patched it out. That is still within the classic timeline. So was the dark elf mask.

When this project started the population was really low so those in the know went there to get it. Over the years, after the removal of the mana stone here, more and more people joined P99. The server went on for a decade before Green, over that time the price of manastones, if you could find one, fetched a very high price.

The difference being: In classic no one new what the hot items were, when and what was going to happen when the game first launched. On p99 blue the pop was low and the few playing here did know that. On Green it was talked about on the forums before the server launched, and after a full decade of blue with people talking/knowing about it/ and many who went to play there already knew about the manastone/guise. People were revved up and ready to get that.

Also the wiki is popular and details the information. There are no secrets about it, there are no guesses.
