Recreating the classic experience: item recharging

Personally I don't think being able to duo with yourself would pose all that much of a problem, but at the same time I do. Everyone who solos would almost definitely duo with themselves to level two characters at once and be able to take on that many more camps.

However, shit like item recharging when we've been on Kunark for close to three years, is completely out of line with any resemblance of the word "classic". The majority of players were never recharging their items daily or even weekly. Either we can recreate this project for the 1% of players that made up the EQ population that make up 90% of the population here, or we can actually be sensible about things, and draw the line somewhere. Why not just up the charges on some items and remove recharging all together?

Recharging is an exploit of merchant mechanics, just because they didn't fix it on live during this time frame doesn't mean it should be available now. Was the biscuit giving quest in FP available the first week of P99 and then removed after people got level 50 already? That happened live, and probably as many people that knew about recharging vs. not on live were just as equal when that biscuit quest was around.

I want to know more about the biscuit quest, in case I do ever get my hands on a time machine.

I boxed occasionally in Kunark and Velious, and I believe I recharged an item once or twice during Velious. Both should NOT be enabled on Project1999. Takes away from the server experience IMO.

If you want a classic experience, stop recharging and leave the rest of us alone. Dick.

^agreed

no one is forcing you guys to recharge your items

merchants arnt saying

"Pssssst. Hey. You. Come here. Exploit my inventory."

Oh grow up, like yer recharging isn't gonna affect the rest of us, esp vis a vis raiding. I'm really sorry if you can't handle a 15 year old elfsim w/o exploiting, but if you really suck at eq that badly, I suggest EZ server.

Just fuckin' tired of raid mobs getting midnight malleted and bursted down.

Feels like I'm playin' some custom server and not live classic EQ.
