The problem with this post and most regarding nostalgia is this game has been going on for 20 years; ie: when were these memories from? Even at peak, there were half a million subs and server to server things were different. Even pods of buddies and guilds had different mindsets on all sorts of things.
Manastones stopped dropping shortly after classic launched. Guises too. These were exclusive AF, period.
Fungis were treasured and used by duelers and soloers on Rodcet, just like on p99.
Not saying your experience or recollection isn’t valid. It just needs context. Just like mine isn’t for everyone as we all lived different nerdy lives.
Part of the p99 issue is shoehorning “classic” into one shoe. We also never did sweaty FTE races or half the crap that happens on p99. This is a different box, that’s great. To think it’s an emulator of exactly 1999 for every EQ fan outside trying to emulate content? That’s crazy.

It's a true story. Was there any reason why a Manastone would be more rare than an Evil-Eye bag is today? That's a serious question. I played early EQ, but I don't know the nuances like that since I mostly had a variety of low level noobs scattered throughout Norrath at that time. But I genuinely remember Manastones not being seen as a super rare or as a particularly valuable item on my server until AFTER they were nerfed. A lot of lower level noobs like my friend and I couldn't even comprehend why they could possibly be good.
Also looking up patch notes for OG EQ out of genuine curiosity is wild. As a kid 6 months into EQ felt like 5 years, no exaggeration. It felt like it took a life time for Kunark to come out, and that Kunark lasted forever. In actuality it was like a year
