Why no pre-fear capped server?

[Rygar]

You can't exactly recapture the magic. I do remember doing the Langseax quest literally 15 times before getting my Langseax of the Wolves and I thought I was the dopest warrior to ever walk Norrath. But even on a refresh server most probably wouldn't bother.

I think the only thing at this point that will come close to recapturing the original spirit is a full on 'season of discovery' similar to WoW. You would literally have a custom server with potentially different mechanics, spawn locs or even spawn dynamics (static locations change? what? no camping rares? mobs have a chance to spawn on top of you the longer you engage?), different items / spells / effects.

It would not be classic, but there would be no wiki and I think it would be amazing. Rumors would abound and mechanics would be misunderstood.

Sadly, for an emulator probably too much client limitations since it can't be altered, and P99 does not have the dev power for it.

Dude, as far as I could tell I was the only person doing this quest on Quarm despite it being a DOPE weapon easily attainable at 20 (just get a necro XPing in the area to kite the kill).

Was a little sad about that, ngl!

No tweak can "surprise" me about this entire property. I am betting I am far and away the norm.

Far and Away was when Tom and Nicole fell in love.

The Oklahoma Land Rush movie never depicts the fact, as all those white folk sprinted and tore into Oklahoma, Native American faces already in Oklahoma were saying, "Damn, this is just like what will happen to the Palestinians in 1948!" Apt analogy, I agree, but I would say, it's all in how you play that shitty hand. Tribes owned it. Palestinians, not so much.

I. Still. Believe.

Also, don't think it's true that Vox/Nagafen were never intended to be killed. I think you are mixing that up with the Sleeper.

What they didn't expect were for raids to become much larger sized and for Vox/Nagafen to be killed as easily as they were as quickly as they were. They thought they'd designed them as much tougher encounters and quickly realized that these guilds were bringing like 30+ people to the encounter. You can see them talk about it in some post-EQ interviews.

yeah i can go for some max agro cap banishing from zone stuff. say 48 people max able to agro cazic thule the god. anyone else who gets on the agro list RANDOM people get teleported out
its nu-classic
it enforces working together

fear is a small zone so it should banish people to a non popular camp in the cazic thule zone

Pretty much everyone had a 28.8 modem by late 1997. Certainly by 1998. People were junking 14.4's even back in 95/96.

I found most early patch notes off the Beta CD. They are here:

Other classic notes are here, I think this is complete:

yeah, there is an entire storyline about Vox and Naggy getting kicked out of the Ring of Scale because their kid is the sleeper, Mayong was involved in helping them for his own ends also that's why you get + Ring of Scale faction for killing mobs in mistmoore.

I'm not sure they are the parents of Kerafym; I think Dozekar might actually be Kerafym's dad (it's mother is unknown), and the reason he was cursed was because he bred with another type of dragon.

At least according to our wiki, Vox/Nagafe wanted to breed a second Kerafym, but that plan was thwarted and they were banished.

There is also a long quest involving the two in EQ2: https://loreofnorrath.wordpress.com/.../nagafen-text/

Honestly, that storyline always felt like retcon/speculation/fan theory to me.
