You know, I get the :classiccrusade: and all, but that's a beautiful example of flat-out brain-damage + self-hatred + shadenfreude all rolled up in a pathetic one-liner that contributes nothing constructive to P99, Norrath, or RL.

I'm sorry I just liked the culture of having people hang out in banks and spend time there reogranizing bags and talking and trading.

With our non-classic bank function people are in and out and you lose the social element of banking with your group [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I never banked with my groups on classic live. Banks tended to be fairly empty unsocial places in my classic live experience.

After most dungeon groups we would port to Misty and bank in rivervale. That aside almost every time I went to the bank there was atleast one other person in the bank converting coin or shuffling quest items or CR gear around in their bank!

FIrst part true, who wanted to wait around while you re-org'd your bank shit? "OMG which bag did I leave that in?" (also, iirc, you had to right-click each item individually to get the name of it in classic UI) "WTF who's the asshat that trained the banker away I can't move with all this shit in my inventory" & etc. But there were casters that liked to hang out near banks and give out SoW/Skin/Bind/Clarity/trashloots to lowbies, often leading to guild recruitment pitches as you might expect. Also, players that hated gBay would auction their lewts at random times in other bank zones. Mostly the classic banking experience just sucked tho, especially after they nerfed leaving NORENT items in the bank to stop them from poofing when you logged (anybody else remember how magicians bitched about losing their lucrative bandage summoning practice?)

People hanging around banks was definitely classic, although I don't know if it was just because of the UI limiting your ability to move items around easily. I think a big factor was also that people didn't always feel the need to be doing something productive (like grind or camp something) while in game, and were happy to just hang out in city areas and be social.

I do remember running into people in pretty much every bank I used back then, although some were of course more busy than others. On Mithaniel Marr the Gfay bank always had several people, and the Qeynos bank had at least a couple others, as did Rivervale. I don't remember seeing too many people around the Kaladim bank though.

Of course, the North Freeport bank was THE place to be on our server, and usually had dozens of people in and around it. I still don't understand the appeal of EC as a trading zone, NFP was so much better.

^ so much classic in this post. Maximum Immersion level imminent.

But really, guide Ele would have far more classic issues to deal with. If I were a guide I don't even know where I'd start. But there are some names that I would nuke. Just last night I saw "Whoremother".
