First of all don't be surprised with all the hate you get here...you will receive responses such as "server is launching in 3 days why did you wait so long to talk about this..."

Secondly I would like to mention that Zodium is literally a walking legend within the P99 community...he was a part of Shards of Dalaya which was an amazing EQ emu. When he talks he knows his stuff.

Finally, he is right by stating the above. Ideally the best solution for the staff's sake would be to completely remove these items but then at that point the server is no longer considered classic to many people, which defeats the purpose of P99.

If they were made no-drop it would completely change the population of P99 as well - people would just play classes that could actually use it.

That said, the list may be the best option out there. That's probably the exact thought process that went in on in designing the list, lol
