also not being kos to sarnaks or chardok is also not classic, lets keep it real af lol
i remember the first time i discovered the sarnak braids, i forgot the name of the item, but you can wear them as a bracer, shoulder, and i think some other slot.. item that has +atk
i was like oh wait the sarnaks have to love you??? at the time that was insane. people like to re-write history, but true classic was literally EVERYONE leveled in the sarnak fort / LOIO, lol.
the fact that sarnak fort is completely empty now speaks volumes. yall want to make real classic, give sarnak fort insane exp bonus or something. I always try to explain this to my friends who only discovered p99 / eq through me because they think it's classic to level in the same 4 zones... and its like nah.... no one was leveling in any of these zones in true classic, lol. dungeons were seen as a place you went to get $. People werent exclusively leveling in UR, Mistmoore, CoM, KC etc.
LOIO, FM, OT, DL was super packed. And yes it was boring, but true classic was LOIO, not UR. Anyone saying otherwise is being WILD.
I dont hate the changes on P99 tho obviously, like CT being a kind of cool zone because of ZEM is nice. I just wish they would change these ZEMS to where it changes up regularly, maybe on a monthly basis, that way its not the same exact places every single character i level, lol. i actually feel like there was more diversity in leveling back in the day, lol.
I remember being in nurga when 9/11 happened because it was a hot zone (and most people were leveling in giant fort at FM anways). this was actual classic. dalnir was a hot zone as well and worth the travel. i feel like this is something they could do better. not even indefinitely, like im not saying force everyone to level in weird out of the way places, but true classic was actually leveling in dalnir or nurga or fm or loio. this set in stone leveling path where i just tell you where to go based off of what level you are is super not classic, lmao. i didnt even use CoM as a kid. like yeah i went there, but it wasnt the only place to level. Hell, I spent more time in TOFS during the same level range.
