1) The pet exp mechanic you think is classic was a Luclin change. Rich Waters explains it here.

2) Magician pets couldn't wield weapons of any type until January 2000. They couldn't dual wield till then either.

In short you have no idea what you're talking about.

Just curious, what class are you playing on Green? You've spent the last several months trying to get Mages nerfed is what it looks like based on your post-history.

I'm playing a bard at the moment, a class I found evidence for most of their 38+ songs being missing until later points in the timeline.

So I gimped myself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But I'm sure you'll be swarm kiting to level quite quickly. Exactly what songs will be missing? You'll still be hugely desired for groups. A level 30 Mage with a level 20 Air Pet isn't gonna be getting ANY group invites, and he isn't gonna be able to solo either.

And the current speedrunners who are leveling in premade groups don't count as evidence to the contrary. We're talking PUGs not premade groups

With the AoE limit of 4 mobs that I also found evidence for and that Rogean implemented? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have no power here. I present evidence and the staff choose or don't choose to implement things. That's it.

I just really like the idea of classic, hardmode EQ.

I didn't read like any of this thread...

How the hell is there 15 pages complaining about research. LOL. Researching spells was only one of the small hurdles for a pure caster in the original game. You don't need gear, and can easily solo for both EXP and Plat. Imagine being a warrior or rogue who is dependent on gear and have almost no way of earning plat on their own.

I vividly remember research. It is a challenge. But I loved it and look forward to it here. Once you hit 16 take time and do the research for spells. Not a huge deal to me. I love crafting. I will be doing tailoring and blacksmithing too.

Because modern gamers have come to rely on their whining to make challenges easier vs actually rising and overcoming obstacles. These are the people who thought they were signing up for the easy life and now forced into the realization they may have to put out some effort to succeed.

Been there done that. Warriors and Rogues level quite fast in groups. How is a Mage gonna be "soloing for both EXP and Plat" with a pet thats 10+ levels lower than him?

Meanwhile Enchanters are charming level 28 mobs that backstab for over a hundred damage.

You mean like the rogue that got a 6/23 piercer based on NBG, at lvl 15?

The rogue was actually the highest level in group.

If you think the progression on this server is anywhere near classic, you need to consult the stats you should have access to.
