Wurmslayer Nerf - Clarification

[Lucia Moonglow]

I've heard that the wurmslayer will be nerfed to a Lore item as well as primary only on P99. In classic, it was only nerfed to primary-only, not lore.

I don't want to have two of these on me when the nerf hits, so can anyone please clarify this?

Also, can we get a timeline on when the nerf is going to hit?

The Wurmslayer is now a one-handed slashing weapon.

The Wurmslayer will now fit in a bag.

It was changed to primary only. I can't find the info for when it was changed. That is all I could find at the moment about the Wurmslayer

It would be nice if the devs could tell us when they plan to do it instead of just dropping it in our laps without warning.

Classic EQ!

i'm afraid to say that infuriating you is part of the eq experience.

A balance between nerfing and being considerate would be nice. After all, this server's not being run by a big corporate entity.

Edit: I'm not saying it's inconsiderate of them not to tell us, I'm only saying that they shouldn't go out of their way to avoid a warning for the sake of being "classic". Either way, I in no way intended to imply that they owe us any sort of warning.

You are right, there is nothing more important going on for the Dev's of P99 than to tell you personally about the wurmslayer nerf so that you won't be inconvenienced. How ignorant of them! Shame on them and their free server, that they put so much time and energy into for little compensation other than the reward of re-creating the classic EQ experience for others to enjoy, for not being considerate of you in their nerfing.

Shame on them. /sarcasm

Enjoy the game, don't get bent out of shape for the little things.

Shame on them.

Classic example of an argumentative exaggeration fallacy.

Disregarding the glaring hyperbole of your post, I'm neither expecting nor insisting that any of the devs drop everything they're doing to reply to this post (as you have essentially implied that I have), I am merely hoping that one of them might stop by and either give an ETA or explain that there isn't one.

Your post sounded coarse and appeared to me that you were insinuating that the P99 team should be more considerate when they nerf things in general, which is a pretty strange request given how much they already do for us for basically nothing in return.

Your request about the wurmslayer may or may not be high on their priority list, but saying in general that a balance between nerfs and being considerate would be nice seems a little judgemental of them, as if they don't already do that.

It was a sarcastic joke with a slight edge, no direct offense intended. You seem a bit wound.
