Another consideration is that some guilds have rules against selling raid gear. It is not supposed to be sold unless you can replace it. For BiS pieces like White Dragon Helm or AoW pants they are pretty much BiS so they have to consider that risk.

Great point this is a huge part of it. In the past some of the top raid guilds allowed droppable items to be sold. Currently, Vanquish does not allow the sale of droppable items won with dkp.

I don't know what Criot's policy is, but it doesn't really matter since they are mostly only killing charity mobs they get from bag limits.

I sold a few misc items under the radar in aftermath and riot, but it was to buy things for my war, like useful puppet strings etc...[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Legacy items aren't the whole point of project 1999. Good golley.

Those casinos take a zillion plat to yield one rubicite BP and a manstone comes out every ten trillion zillion plat. Great plat sinks.

If there were no legacy items on Green (warders count as legacy), population would probably be of Red level.

ya because of pharming operations for questionable purposes.

Do you want a good fun server or a toxic piece of shit server?

Above all, a server with a healthy population.

No pop = no server.


Lists are (somewhat) toxic, but if it is what it takes for a new server to have a healthy pop, I welcome lists.

I would love to see Green2.0 without legacy items (except maybe ST) just so we can actually measure people's appetite for actual classic EQ, as opposed to appetite for securing legacy items.

My experience on green spanned the first 2 days it existed. When the server came up, me and my buddy.... had to lock down one decaying skeleton spawn point in freeport. And that was our source of exp for 3 hours. With THAT many new players, (what, 6x more than when blue launched?), all whom have access to ALL of the information about the game via the wiki, without lists legacy items would be a complete and total shit show. Small groups of players would hold manastone camp for months straight. Trains galore. KSing. ETC.

Yes, lists suck. But realistically, if you just let everyone go all willy nilly, those camps would be a total bloodbath. And, on top of that, you probably have a better chance at getting a manastone/mask by sitting on a list for 30 hours straight vs trying to get the camp if lists didn't exist.

If the economy needs a plat sink, I'll take it all. I'll make a level 5 bard, take the boat to the Ocean of Tears with it, sink it to the bottom and let the corpse rot. Then everyone will be happy, right?

All interesting and it seems blue needs a plat sink, or maybe not, maybe it will just turn into item trade on rare items. I believe a casino would be an answer, item recharge being nerfed and all. However legacy items should not be available.

You use a ticket system that can be purchased in any major city, bronze, silver, gold.. ect. Have a npc in mischief that you give the ticket to. The items are only no drop that currently only drop in the game. Depending on lvl of ticket, effects lvl range of what no drop item you could receive. Example, could have highest lvl ticket, gives you a no drop from dragon/god tier loot.

Start doing plat/item deletion as penalty to rule breaking / anti social behaviour on troublemakers accounts.
