Default Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth -Allowing triggered spawns

Just curious if GMs have ever considered allowing a triggered spawn for Magi for more chances at Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth? I mean mages are pretty restricted to CoTH bots and most dont have their epic due to this choke point.

Thoughts?

Except major aspects of being a mage (eg. pet chaining) isn't classic either. Similarly, neither is the Hate safe spot, or one player monopolizing Mage epics for years.

Let's not pretend our existing system is classic ... when it isn't.

P99 is more classic than all other EQ servers on the market.

The original source code is lost, so we will never have a 100% classic server.

Nor can you expect people to play P99 the same way people played in 1999.

If you mean 'classic' as in era accurate, I feel like TAKP is way more accurate to it's era than p99 is.

I agree, but TAKP is lucky because they had a PoP era client they could decompile. That makes the job much easier to do.

P99 doesn't have a Velious era client they can decompile.

P99 is the most classic server on the market for the Classic -> Velious experience.

You don't need Mage Epic to farm greens in Droga, CoTH bot, or make mod rods.

Little bit of a vending machine, little bit of a slot machine.
