Beat me to it. Though I'd say 50 - 100k for a limited illusion potion would work.

Voted no, but I admit the halloween masks idea is endearing.

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
Nilbog has said (paraphrased) on at least one occasion that the server could be completely empty entirely and he'd be satisfied as long as he managed to make the server as classic as possible, code and content wise.

This is a funish idea (though I'm against it because damnit don't make my prenerf guises less cool) but it's fully against the intention of the server. C'est la vie.

The cure disease poison npc was supposed to be their and working from original eq. it was not working here hence why it was bugged and put in the patch.

iksar have similar npc in swamp of no hope he even heals with appropiat reagent/turn ins.

Voted no since not classic and illusion do have effect on faction and other affects.

The Halloween idea with limited charges would be a fun holiday event, but not as a money sink because that would keep new players from joining in the fun. There are plenty of discussions on the internet concerning inflation in virtual economies. No idea is perfect. I did like the idea to have a developer auction of some kind where the money is taken from players hands similar to vendors but it wouldn't be permanent.

That's a funny way of saying 'interest'. Also, completely not on topic unless you're making a sly reference to the illusion of financial security in classic banking systems.
