It was extremely difficult to get epics on live and the devs insisted they were not for everyone. That is until they revamped them a few months into Velious, and later additions such as Hoshkar Green Scales (June 2001) and Ragefire in Skyfire (2002 Luclin).

Epic quests were added in September 2000. The quests were not solved until late September, into October, and November. By the time Velious came out there were very, very few Mage/Nec/Wiz/War/Dru epics across all the servers.

What opened these up was the epic revamps 4 months into Velious (7-8 months after epics were added, 4-6 months after they were solved).

It isn't so much the economy, but the on-going lack of epic revamps and the beta nature of the server. Example: VS should have been dropping 2 stones the whole time epics have been out, but he was not doing so for years. This means the server as a whole has lost hundreds of green stones that simply never existed, but should have.

I respect your post, but you know and I know that in 4 years on here of Kunark that certain Guilds, TMO comes to mind, have perma camped, Batphoned the shit out of most top end mobs and cornered the market for them and their each 20 alts.

Then had the Balls for certain people to Peddle their wares, the Guilds wares, in the EC Tunnel for a shitpot of MQ plat.

Now I am not saying it is against any rule on here but the Devs let TMO just rule the damn Roost for years on here, basically screwing everyone on here that needed certain pieces for their Epic.

So pretty much "Classic"on here is about as Classic as dogshit for lunch. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A lot of truth and salt to be found here. I'm personally am just playing for fun without any hard set goals for a character, burning time until the next P1999 offering launches that isn't Discord.

I think the server staff has learned a tremendous amount involving play issues and players from the Blue and Red 'experiments'. People will be jaded and state that the same things will happen on a new server, but the TMO / Nihilum bullcrap (just to name 2 examples) were learning experiences that they (the staff) don't want to see repeated.

Pray to God they HAVE learned from this "experiment". I am not totally blaming them, who the hell knows how to start a new server from scratch, [You must be logged in to view images.
