- Wiki full of spoilers, step by step guides, personal opinion, unverified data and item price dictation

All of it entirely optional. If ignorance is bliss, abstain from using it entirely.

- Min/max mentality (in a max/min game, ironically)

Undermined by fashionquest.

- Advance knowledge of camps, drops, patches, bugs, exploits, changes, etc before server launch

Subject to change, whether on purpose or accident, thanks to continued updates aiming to preserve the spirit of classic.

- Porting corporation/monopoly (Dial A Port)

It's still a shame Tell-A-Port never took off. But on a server that has, on occasion, seen quite low pop numbers it's helped stave off demands for translocators.

- Full epics for sale

Not equipable anymore until level 46.

- No duels

Several guilds host arena fights. Also, duels also still happen when people need to hammer. The recipient of the beating tends to take the opportunity to fuck with the other person somehow, not just slowing to help them proc. I like trying to disarm them; did it to a dwarf outside of ToV the other month, twice in a row.

- Everybody you see is playing solo in their own little bubble

Treating an old MMO like an RPG can make it more classic, esp if you cut yourself off from buffs, cheap gear, etc.

- Lack of spontaneity

Quakes, GM illusion bombs, and xp bonuses.

- Nobody says DING

Some still do on occasion, esp at low levels, and receive grats. More rare are shouts announcing the arrival of the boat.

Experts arguing with each other over which is the best shaman race, warrior main/offhand for aggro, etc.
