I think some people are wondering about what happens after you die. Do you get sent to the soulbinder right away or do you get a chance to be rezzed like the way it is now? Also what happens to the corpse, does it stay where you died and you would have to retrieve them to get exp back?

You can hover like now. This MAY change if we reinstate full corpse recovery.

Are monk fists going to be reverted to original ratios?!

Has been asked already along with coins not having weight. no comments on it so far

Monks will heave the new ratios, and coins will continue to be weightless.

Please please PLEASE keep corpse runs back in...

Seriously do not WoWify progression =/

We plan to put this up to a vote ASAP. (and a progression server only vote at that)

Unfortunately it is too risky a change for us to slam it in, AND I am not convinced that we have a true representative sample. These would be the true original punishing corpse runs where if you don't get your corpse in 7 days, you loose your items.

There will not be, and never will be, a Shadowrest on progression server.

The side issue is it ends up costing us plenty of extra money, because no matter how much you say it, people really don't want to loose their stuff... so they cost us customer service money getting they corpse restored after it poofs. This is NOT the lone deciding factor on this, but it will be weighed against how much players actually really do want it. If the Vote is overwhelming to bring it back, and we are not overruled by the financial folks AND it is reasonable in code (The new item code was not implemented for corpses because we had no items on corpses already) we will bring it back. But there are MANY consideration as you can see.

So I am not saying absolutely no, we will not bring it back, but we are not going to spend the extra resources until we are reasonable sure the server actually really wants it. Message boards are NOT a good enough measure of the interest becuase it is only a fraction of the players.

The truth is,

there wont be corpse runs. SOe take time and fix this My ass.

Are Soulbinders left in each city? (I hope so!!!!)

Yes. We decided that we did not need to punch tanks this way. Soulbinders are staying.

Will the kerra isle zone be returned?

It will still be merged in with the new Toxx, not a separate zone.

Are you going to remove focus effects from items available in classic? Focus effects didn't exist until Luclin (or perhaps very late Velious). But they added focus effects to pre-Velious/Luclin items. For example, golden efreeti boots had enhancement haste added to them. Will they be reverted to the old form with no focus effect for progression?

Also, any chance of seeing useable-from-inventory DE masks and manastones for a month or two? I know the answer's probably no, but had to ask.

We will not be able to have a different data set, we can just restrict some whole parts from dropping/spawning. So in the example of the boots, it will had the focus effect because we cannot restrict part of a concrete entity like that. It will either be no boots at all until later, or they drop with the changes.We plan on having a select set of "iconic" items drop for a limited time. At this time we will not be sharing the list, and may never share the list

Therefore All focus effects will be enabled. If the item is too powerful or the dev wasn't lazy on that item. The item will not be in game until later. Hmm I wonder how much time they will spend on which items stays and goes .

It doesn't matter how bad it will be. Even here we've seen that retards will still all flock over to it and pay them money for a half-assed, shit product.

Truth, you sound really butthurt that SoE isn't making a classic server. Almost like you expected more effort on their behalf and now you feel betrayed.

This leads me to believe that you are in fact retarded. The Truth hurts.

Although, this does make me truly sad. Anyone with a little sense knew that this server would be nothing like classic and all early content would be trivialized. I planned on playing a monk, but all desire to do so is ruined by the fact that end game monk weapons will be useless.
