Shralok packs were only Lore for like 10 minutes. Literally less than a day. They are still "pending lore" on live.

See patch notes: http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20010221b.html

Ok any chance we can get a GM/Dev to clarify if this will happen like classic or not? One of my toons has all Shralok Packs(they were easy to camp at his low level for bags and they hold giant items) so even if they go lore for a day he will lose a good portion of his gear and items in his inventory and bank. Its hard to tell how things will work out with the patches so it would be great for some clarification.

I imagine they'll just leave it pending lore for all time. Unless they really want to have them poof and then spend the next few weeks/months doing item recovery.

They are bundling patches in by month so far, not individually. I would not worry about your Shralok packs.

They took the servers down within hours of the LORE tag going live and had to go back and restore characters with poofed Shralok Packs.

I sincerely doubt the GMs want to go through the petition/reimbursement process, when the change did not exist for more than a couple of hours.


See this post for more details of the timeline.

"Pending Lore" is removed post-Velious, but for all intents and purposes, they are forever "Pending Lore" on P99.

Would appreciate a dev comment on this:

The winning strategy will be to level to cap during off hours in underpopulated zones and then log out until the server is closed.

By contrast, the classic Discord server rankings were based on kill points so there was actually a reason to continue playing for the lifetime of the server:
Without this system or one approximating it in place, p99 Discord is not classic

Any interest in incentivizing the competitors similar to Discord Classic ruleset to come out of hiding to engage each other? Or is "Survival MMO" style gameplay the sole intention of Discord99?

Is it just a matter of the current rules being a pure survival ruleset because it requires the least amount of developer time investment into a temporary server?

Daddy 'gean or Haynar if you could please share some insight it would be appreciated.
