Firepot

How long did that restriction held ?

I remember being still bound in TD when i reactivated my account about a year ago, and believe me i did not bind there during the first week of kunark, more like an extension later, at best.

[thulseh]

They re-allowed binding after PoP launched.

[ShivanAngel]

Yeah binding there does have its risks.

I honestly dont see the big deal of 7 classes can port to any city.

Also this is never fun.

GuildLeader: GET TO XXXXXXXXXX ZONE XXXXXXXX IS UP.

You begin to cast gate

You log back in, realize you lost about 20-30 hours of exp, and have to log on an alt to tell your guild leader why you wont be at the raid. Also who knows how long it will be before its safe to log your main back in.

Even tho I have baaaaaaad memories of that particular stretch of TD as a 25ish Shaman:

Faydedar slashes you for 250 hit points!

/gu Uhm, any necro available to summon in TD?

I'd still love to bind there for a while like live [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Classic is classic, it was part of the Kunark experience, why not implement it?

It was enabled for a significant period of time, not 4 days.

Correct

This. I remember consciously thinking if I should bind my enchanter there, and decided against it. I don't think I even bought the Kunark expansion for a while, so it couldn't have been just four days.

Correct

I leveled 2 characters over 50 and bound them there in their 50s. It was definitely not nerfed that early. Or if they did, they unnerfed it for some extended period.

Kunark was released on 4/24. These are patch notes from 4/28: http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20000428.html

So unless they didn't follow through with it I'm not sure where the discrepancy comes from. I started in June 2000 so I don't honestly remember first-hand.

They either didnt follow through with it then or they stealth unnerfed it later.

I seem to recall they nerfed it for melee characters not being able to be binded there by other players, but casters still being able to bind themselves for quite some time. It was definitely totally nerfed before velious, but not 4 days after release.

I had my epic pet on my mage before I bound there. I bound there because I was able to AFK camp raptors at night.

Yep.. I distinctly remember being able to bind in the Firepot room at some point during Velious. I camped raptors there frequently too.

I can't find any patch notes regarding this subject, which is a little frustrating. I believe it was a stealth change, which is not uncommon.

I was really looking forward to binding there in P1999 =( Especially since we'll probably never have Luclin here, which made traveling aboard a bit easier.

Huh. Interesting. I seem to recall they changed it within the first few months. How long, I'm not sure. I definitely don't remember them changing that as late as Velious.

They're called "Firepots" because people are fucking neanderthals and don't know the word for "firepot" is brazier.
