Can anything be done about multiquesting?

The same people will camp them.

It might make things a bit better. It doesn't address the problem directly.

Classic is cancer, in this instance.

I played on the Firiona Vie server on live, and I remember there was nothing that was no drop, even epics were tradeable.

Was FV timelocked to a specific expansion, never to move forward?

P99 is unique. In good ways and bad.

One of the bad is the economy. It's just fucked.

I say this as a newbie with little experience in game, but it's quite obvious imo.

No, FV wasn't locked. I've been here for about 7 years now, and you're totally right. But it's not just the economy, it's all the people who hit 60 using bard powerlevels and Chardok. I think the way things function now is nearly optimal, except for MQ obviously. I think a new server might be the perfect solution to the economy.

The economy is just what I've experienced. I imagine the raiding is much worse. Too top heavy, a recipe for drama.

A new server would solve a lot, at least for some years. Eventually the same problem will always pop up, but if it takes 5 years then it's not a huge problem.

Of course a new server causes it's own problems, seems like less overall though. P99 already has a shelf span before it goes bad, so why not make the best of it.

Raiding is definitely worse, and I blame it on Chardok and bards. I think there virtually no organic level 60s

Making no drop quest items tradable would have no effect. Disabling MQ would make certain quest rewards easier to get for some people, and more difficult for others. Everybody can farm plat, not everybody can assemble a raid force or commit the block of time to join one. Neither scenario is classic.

It really sounds to me like people complaining about this particular issue just want to sacrifice classic aspects in order to make the game easier. This is not something I can get behind and is not in keeping with the entire reason for P99's existence. The difficulty and sandbox environment is what has kept me coming back to EQ over the past 17 years. If easy is what you are looking for, there are thousands of other games out there, but please dont try to ruin this project for those of us that play BECAUSE it is classic.

For me, it's not a question of classic mechanics, it's high end guilds that hoard pieces.

Seems that way.

Didn't read this post before I replied, but this ^^.

I want TOV loot, but I don't have the time it requires to obtain it. Can we make it so TOV items drop off decaying skeletons so they are obtainable for me? Kthx
