No legacy items with pre determined camp sites and timelines should exist in the next P99 server launch. It isn't classic to have a guide book to riches due to "scarcity" in this fashion. EQ servers launched after nerfs had the nerfs in place. Manastones didn't exist in sullon zek, etc.
The implementation of these items on p99 is ALREADY custom in this sense, so it should be customized further to not make the game insanely toxically about hoarding items waiting for them to become valuable "legacy" items.
We have 3 servers that played that way. Mainly 2 servers because during Blue time nothing was really determined. Red was OK because of PVP but green was horrible.
So next Red and next Green should be more thoughtful for the sake of classic.

This makes a lot of sense. Seems more "classic" to launch new servers without these removed items if that was the case.
Can also make removed items a very rare random global drop off any mob over a certain level. This may encourage people to actually play the game?
