Your argument is that things aren't classic currently because people outside Castle are all paying Hate farmers for an MQ.

No, my argument is that Hate tracking is unclassic ... because no one tracked Hate back then. A solo Enchanter tracking Hate spawns (and then killing them by himself) NEVER HAPPENED IN '99-'01! Even guilds having trackers up there NEVER HAPPENED!

I got my bard epic on live via an MQ, had the whole thing done except was missing one of the scales.

back in like 2000 i had a friend who was this rich chinese kid and he was selling lvl 50 accts, items, and for a price would go out and grind, quest, camp or just play the game for you.

I may have known that same kid [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. The (Chinese) friend that got me into the game made good money RMTing ... and after he left the game, I got to use his Druid for two-boxing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So look, I have zero illusions that selling items (for plat or RMT), 2-boxing, or other craziness happend on live. I participated in plenty of it.

But this isn't live: dual-boxing isn't allowed here, even though it was classic. Why? Because allowing it would make the server overall a whole lot less classic ... just like the Hate safe spot.

Finally, I just want to quote Nilbog from when he first announced the server, over a decade ago:

P99 was never supposed to be for lazy people who want things handed to them by unclassic easy EQ: it was supposed to be "hard mode", for people who wanted the real game from '99-'01.

Real classic "hard mode" EQ requires going up to Hate to check on mobs.
