Patch Level and Meditation on Green

[badgaf]

Hello,

I'm new to P99 and was trying to figure out how the meditation skill works on P99 Green based on its current patch level. I've inquired with several players in game and they all say that pre-35 you need to have your spellbook opened, but not the meditate button pressed in order to meditate. However, I noticed on my level 4 character that I was gaining meditation skill just by sitting down, which led me to believe that I was actively meditating just from sitting.

When I checked the meditation wiki I found the information that stated that after the August 30th 2000 patch that it removed the need to have the spellbook opened to meditate pre-level 35. Also when I checked the Green patch timeline it said the August 2000 patch was going to be deployed on 3/5/2021. I know patches get pushed back on the server at times, so I wasn't sure if this patch was implemented on March 5th or not.

Does anyone know for sure if you are still required to have the spellbook open to meditate pre-35 on P99 green?

Remove the /meditate command and replace it with an automatic meditate which activates when opening the spell book.
Remove the need to have the spell book open at all, for all levels rather than just 35+ characters.
