Item link, intro'd Sept '02, not classic. Not needed.

See there's that ignorance again. Live had a team of paid GMs supporting their servers, plus an order of magnitude more "guides" (who were paid with free game time). Project 1999 is in fact forbidden to take money, which means they can't pay anyone to do anything.

That means we're stuck with an all volunteer customer service team, and you know what saves that team a whole bunch of time (that they'd otherwise spend dealing with fraud), allowing them to help players with actually important stuff? You guessed it: item links!

I also see they make you levi on boats....Not classic

This is an example of a technical limitation. Look not even Verant could make the boats work right: if you look through old forums you'll hear lots of tales of people falling off and needing GMs to help them.

But again, our support team has more on their plate than just fishing people out of the ocean. Levitation on boats ensures people don't have that happen.

I also see the shark no longer jumps up on the deck of the boat....Not classic

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Not even sure what you're talking about, but maybe that's a function of them needing to use different boat models (again, to keep people from falling out)?

So now what? You were ignorant, but now I've educated you, so you can't keep claiming ignorance. If you really want, you can lob some more unclassic stuff at me. I compiled like half the Non-Classic Compendium page in the wiki, so I can do this all day (although it'd be more efficient for you to just wait for the wiki to come back up and read it yourself).

Or you could admit you were ignorant before, and ignorance is no one's fault, but now that understand more you've changed your opinion?
