You need to step back and realize that, no matter how many times you make this statement, it's not true.

The no votes are there for a reason, and it's not because this suggestion "adds to the server" - it won't. They aren't there because this "takes nothing away", because it does. And they aren't there because it "doesn't hurt anyone" - that's subjective, but you're essentially asking the development team to forget all the other non-classic changes that have been suggested over the years in favor of your personal campaign to change form. That could hurt some feelings.

Here's what this will be - an ego boost for a handful of people, and yet another separation between the average P99 player and the ultra-rich. Your ego is clearly a factor here, and I don't think you should be rewarded for your attitude towards people who already have illusions.

Firstly that wasn't a chide. It was an example of how easily previous Illusions have been obtained compared to spending a hard earned 2mil on one. I'm happy for the guy but lets not be naive, how many no votes are from people who want to feel "special" because they have an Illusion already.

I doubt the devs would do this even if the yes votes were 100%. Not sure about an ego boost for an Illusion either...its just Fluff. Perhaps some get bigger Egos cause they have more cash, or some special item but it's just a game man, its not all that big of a deal. It would be simply another fun thing on p99.

I look at it like this, the only valid argument against it is the fact it wasn't "classic" to begin with. Years down the road when Velious is in the same state kunark is in now. They are going to have to add things or tweak things to keep this server active and break that "keep it 100% classic in all aspects" model. Why? Because people can only do the same thing for the same reason so many times.

This idea is a very basic one on things the Devs could do if they wanted to. I'm a huge fan of p99 and I'd like to see it thrive instead of become stagnant
