Check out the other thread.

It was that long, we just got nuked by a single point of unreliable data.

So Nilbog has been building this place for a decade now. I think it's safe to say he's not biased towards any particular class ... or if he is, he's biased towards Enchanters [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

He also has been compiling classic evidence for a decade, which means that he likely has access to more classic research than anyone (even including our classic researchers, like Dolalin or Rygar).

So which makes more sense? That Nilbog had access to evidence beyond what was mentioned in that thread, and he corrected the spell's duration accurately ... or that he "nuked" Enchanters based on "single point of unreliable data"?

The most recent changelog now includes "Telin: Recorrected pacify to a classic era duration." And the thread has a 2019 Telin "Fixed, pending update." from when he fixed it from 42s to 7 min years ago.

So reading the tea leaves here I think Telin has been following that thread and updating Pacify's duration to match the balance of evidence there. IMO the post bivoac added after the recent patch thoroughly swings the balance of evidence back to 7 minutes, so maybe the latest change will be reverted.

Should be a priority. Things like this hurt the already low server pop.
