I'm sorry, but no one does that.
Rofl. With all due respect what game do you think this is? I'm not gonna speculate on Nilbog's reasons but people roll 12 alts and spend hours doing quests. Making the most era-accurate server as passion project might just be for its own sake.

The research of already past eras has one, and only one, cause: Nilbog intends to release another server.

Thanks for bringing the quoted post to my attention. I research bugs for the fun of it. I don’t think I’m a freak for enjoying uncovering how a game I like actually used to be.

Nobody does it for the fun of it, you must have some altera motive. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh they are doing it for the money?

Nilbog absolutely will do all that work to make "the most era-accurate server" (for free)! What I'm saying is that he wouldn't do all that work when there's no endpoint.

Maybe, if you're a "freak" ([You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) like Jimjam ...

... you might be curious how old EQ worked, and look a few things up occasionally.

But you're not going to go through the trouble of getting other people to gather research and create bugs, then track and manage all those bugs, and then formally resolve each one.

I don't think there's any real doubt: Nilbog is doing all that work for Green 2.0.

NIICE this was one of the few good fantasy movies with swords in it that I had to force myself to identify with because we had slim pickings back then.

Still love it though, but I think its funny how hard it was to be a fanatsy fan back then.

Dragonslayer was #1 dragon movie until lotr like 30 years later!
