EQ's broken and poorly coded quest system isn't more hardcore, it's just more bad.

Maybe if they were an evil/scheming character, but somehow i doubt that's Yeolarn Bronzeleaf of Felwithe and the vast majority of all quests. So I don't really see a good reason to praise anything about EQ's broken quest system other than purposely celebrating bad technologically deficient design being tedious and unforgiving for zero lore or gameplay reasons.
Also in regards to items being "eaten" - some hardcores will say 'but classic!', well you know what else was classic? Combining the wrong shit in any container with a combine button and accidentally hitting it. Boom, everything gone.

The thought of this still burns.

They might want to look into lowering the staff permission level for some subset of restorations if they have a feasible way to do that without creating any issues with security or whatever.
Filtering tickets through a gaggle of neophytes could be helpful except for the fact theyd have a biased interest in many of the resolutions due to elf pals and elf beefs.

There is not a secure way to do this

Anyone with the permission level to restore items could issue scepters of destruction or items from other expansions

Shared bank would sorta replicate the fact even I (a dirty filthy casual) had 2 accounts to access virtually whenever i wished to swap stuff.
No 2 boxing here (cough) so it would, as peeps mentioned not take too much away from classic and release gms to do uva better stuff.

Using a second box (usually a 50's drood) i would just use it to defo stop a death from a case of the stoopid or rng.
Swapping stuff was just the bonus.

And i know, i was using 2boxing wrong... fucken noob.

Raiders all have an IP exemption so they can /q and instant login, it's silliness, Dalaya got this right years ago.

Yesterday, after practicing shurikens on my wizard, i accidentally autoequipped my Idol of the Underking on to the ground and it rot before I realised. Out of solidarity for the staff (and players with legit serious claims) I resisted creating a reimbursement petition.

Sorry guild bank meaning full shared bank just to alleviate the annoyance of having a guild bank character, spell bank character, etc.

I just appreciate the P99 devs & GMs for all they do. It's ok if these reimbursements are delayed, I'll patiently wait.

Thanks for the update!
