Wow some real babies in here.
It was classic and it rocked.

I don't get the concept of flaming people who disagree with things like this topic. It's a stupid mechanic. The question is whether or not that statement is even relevant, I.E - regardless of opinions it's in or it isn't. The server has been up for 5 years. If it was this way from the start I could totally understand. But to make a major change like this 5 years into the server to me makes little sense. I came here for the classic experience, but am relieved at the fact that I also don't have to "suck up" *every single* dumb mechanic the original game had.

If that makes me a "baby" so be it. With that said, arguing about it is moot because it's nilbog's server and if he wants to implement he will implement it. That's pretty much the bottom line.

If it gets implemented will I still play? Of course! Will I be happy? No way! But it's not my decision to make nor is it anyone else's but nilbog et al, and I believe they stated they're working on it or at least the intent was to make this change. Is what it is. As was stated, humans rarely choose to nerf themselves, and I'm not going to choose this mechanic unless it is part of the server rule book.

Typing from my phone sucks.

Edit: the talk about it being a balance against casters. What's the balance for all the über twinked melee running around? I don't think I've had one group without at least one melee char twinked to the 9s. Including 2 epic rogues in their teens. I've nothing against twinking and find it fun myself but don't get the argument about caster balance when rogues can MQ their epic at level one. Seems like a fair compromise.
