Fact or fiction...?

[Axlrose]

I heard something about Velious that Sony wanted to implement with the weapons but could not remember if it was considered and not was possible or just a wild idea that ran rampant as a "too bad". But the various weapons made from Velium (sp?) were supposed to have melted and been rendered destroyed if they left that continent. That the cold surroundings were keeping them frozen and the rest of Norrath was too warm.

Fact or fiction...?

Thanks!

Definitely seems like something they could have easily implemented. They already had the mechanic there for PoSky keys (Would stay on your character indefinitely while you were in PoSky, even if you camped; but would poof as soon as you left)

That's for a single zone though. Velious has multiple zones, so it would have been a more difficult mechanic for them to implement circa 2000.

Fact or Fiction that they NEVER dreamed we would still be playing a Kids Game 16 years later either. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Odd thought, that. I've never thought of this as a kids game, and (like you) was adult when it launched. I consider kids games things like Super Mario Bros. or whatnot. EQ, in spite of its terrible name, has a number of decidedly un-childish features, ranging from alcohol consumption to dismembered corpses littering bloody torture chambers. If not for the limited graphic tech of the time some areas would be outright horrific.

I remember this rumor, but was relieved when it was just that at Velious launch.

Don't forget elf trafficking and prostitution occurring within Hagglebaron's house!
