Not to underscore my appreciation for the project, however isn't a large portion of the intuition on restricting P99 only Classic, Kunark and Velious to avoid mechanics such as req/rec levels on items that came with Luclin and future expansions?

Could we consider restricting the final turn in NPC to only recognize 46+ as opposed to adding a Req level to equip?

I think this would be excellent if coupled with the removal of epic MQ plus the deletion of all existing epics that were obtained below level 46. Let the redites continue their delevelling shenanigans while purging vast quantities of grotesque mudflation from blue.

edit: Not a terrible idea coupled with removing the ability to MQ

There is nothing more demoralizing than starting your first character on p1999 and running into rogues, monk, and clerics epiced before they are even level 20.

Nice change long overdue.

In what way does that demoralize a new player?

Generally, P1999 attracts people that played EQ live and want to relive the classic

experience. When you make your first character and see multiple people running

around with an epic before level 5, all legitimacy of this being a classic experience are

gone. When people don't see this as a legit server they leave. The only reason you

could possibly think this is bad news is if you sell MQ's. Do you really think seeing

epiced level 1 rogues encourages new players to stick around?

Fixed the excessive enter key usage and yes he does sell MQ's, but you should really be playing for yourself, who cares what the dude over there has.

Back in the day on live when I saw someone obviously twinked I never thought "damnit i'm going to quit now cause they shouldn't have that stuff so early", instead I thought "nice gear, if I play hard, skip showers, one day these things will too be mine".
