Wasn't some 45 or 46 to start tho? I also remember some level requirement

Yep, 51 I think. And from what I remember hearing, you couldn't finish it until 51, either.

Sometimes you walk by a spawn and get lucky. So a person camps for 12-hours, no success. Come back and do over, not worth the effort, then I guess you don't want the item bad enough.

MQing not only supports RMT but distorts the economy. MQing is the easy button. Lot of stuff you can farm with little risk. Epics you have to take risk and put in some effort, that's why its called EPIC. I say take out MQing and the what will L-60's do is lame, lot of content out there that is not done by many L-60's because of the risk and fear of dying. It's just too easy to MQ sell for plat and buy the best gear.

haha you crazy

Why did the Devs of EQ create the "no drop" attribute?

Mostly all hearsay and rumors.

During classic no one was getting their low level Alts epics because they didn't have time with rapid releases of expansions and always things to do on their mains.

It wasn't until later when people got bored and mobs got easier that people did epics for twinks commonly. The paladin/mage ones required 46+ cause they were in the planes. But plenty of others were doable on lower level toons.

I can't think of a single other quest until Velious where level is checked for completion. This is because EQ quests didn't have that level of sophistication until later on. Same deal with race or class.

Classic-Kunark quests should only check your faction. That's it.

Id say for alter planes, but plenty of quest items were no drop before then. What I think is strange, is how some items arnt no drop from the alter planes.. thats what I always wonder.

Should disable MQ'ing on blue. Would crush their RMTers markets and open things up for people that aren't neckbearding 24/7.

On top of these benefits, it would also promote a more classic feel of Everquest which seems to be the point of the server creation over massive exploiting of unintended bugs in 1999 code.

And there was never seen a level 1 rogue in the whole of Norath from that day forward.

Yeah. Just find the MQ switch and set it to the "off" position. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The point of this server isn't to "feel" like classic EverQuest. It is to be as mechanically and technically close to classic EQ as possible. That includes the good and the bad, and does not differentiate between things that organically make it "feel" less classic... like how I have personal experience killing Vulak`aerr even though Velious hasn't been released.

In other words, it's an easier and more feasible goal for the devs to emulate the technical mechanics of the original game, rather than to modify them because of the impacts from an unquantifiable externality.
