They are trying to make a 100% classical server within reason, exceptions being made for overpowered bugs/abuse of mechanics.

You couldn't levitate in Sky here, you could in classic. That isn't something that is technically/mechanically out of their league. But levitating in Sky allows you to abuse the intent of the zone.

You couldn't use the level 56 rez bug here to power level characters to 60. All that took was a 56 cleric and someone with harmony.

You can't give pets no-drop weapons.

You can't give NPC's weapons to use.

All of these were "classic" and easily implemented/removed, so are many others, but they were changed in order to give some legitimacy to the raid scene of the server. The same way they nerfed Mage pets once guilds started sending 30 mages up to Plane of Sky, the way they already nerfed DA agro although that was a Velious change, the way they nerfed Ivandyr's hoops; this kind of action isn't unprecedented on this server.

IB just happens to fall in the same boat as TMO on this issue, we want content to be hard, not trivialized by killing a lvl 52 mob in Freeport, or having 15 lvl 46 clerics running a 1.2 second CH cycle.

Between us and Dark Ascenson we held down the High Keep DA Idol camp 24/7 for what? 4 weeks?
