Firepot

hateshadow · #1 10-02-2010, 05:25 PM

I notice that here and there on the forums, people make mention of such things as "Firepots". From what I understood, these would be a teleporter of some sort?

I'd like to know more about that (or those) Firepot(s).

What are they?
Where are they?
What do they look like? (Screenshot would be much interesting)
Why is it called firepot?

I looked but no one ever makes any precise comments about those, so it's hard to actually find one, even tho i've looked.

Thank you

And this is one of the reasons I love EQ - the community it spawned and their creativity, humor and (relative) intelligence contributed greatly to my enjoyment.

Early in Kunark, there was a small room in Timourous deep that had a firepot (an actual pot, with fire coming out the top) like a brazier. Each pot had a city's name on it, clikcing that pot would take you to that city. It was a precursor to PoK books. For a short time, a player could bind themselves in that room and have the ability to essentialy port all over the world.
Wizards and druids (somewhat justifiably so) raised hell and it was made so that binds could not be performed in that room.

We'll probably make it bindable for the first week or so of kunark.

I'm sure I'm the minority, but I think this is another good opportunity to learn from mistakes made the first time around. I do not think anyone should ever be allowed to bind there. I'm not sure they should even exist, but clearly thats not going to happen.

I agree with this. The reason I agree with this is because in classic no one knew that this was going to be taken away so 100% of the non-porting population didnt bind there.

Now we know it is gonig to be taken away so everyone is going to bind there.

Unless when you take away the ability to bind there that you also reset the bind points of the people currently bound there.
