its just like regular eq, if you manage to take advantage in honest ways they ban the quest, the quest been here forever? but was never famous, once it get famous, it get nerfed.

That said, it was absolutely justified in being nerfed. The game has bugs, or unintended features, if you will, like any other bit of software. Folks figured out how to take advantage of the mechanics and exploited the shit out of it. So, it got the nerf bat. I'm not condemning anyone for taking advantage of that (this is a fucking game after all), but there is certainly no cause to blame management for taking the exploit away. There are workarounds, of course, but why take the development cycles when a quick value change can be done on the fly? | |||

IMHO the "nerf" wasn't just because the quest was popular, it was because one of two things happened. Either:
So maybe they did it to fix a mistake, or maybe they did it to save staff sanity, but I highly doubt it was just because it was popular. There are far too many examples of popular "wrong but classic" things like item recharging in the game that would have been removed if the staff only cared about nerfing what's popular.

I don't recall seeing posts or threads where people were dragging Jarlen Meadowgreen to the zoneline and snaring him, however. Not that it wouldn't have been possible... but Verant/SOE likely would've done something about it even sooner. From June to July of 2001 (pre-nerf) the quest should give ~half a yellow per turn in at level 12. Was it giving much more than this? | |||

I found out the other day that its not really nerfed you just need to find the right in keeper to give your breads to. but you would need a porter to get you there, I don't have gate yet so it really not doable for me yet so i will do the nk one till 12th as i would need port to Gfey and port to NK there you go I spilled the beans
