Faded memories with no proof

No idea on the frog pet thing but I'm skeptical on the druid ring moving. They would have had to change the actual physical map geometry to do that and I have no memory of such a thing.

One player mesh change they definitely made though was that female barb chain helms used to look the same as the male ones, where it's just kind of a loose hood, and at some point pre-kunark they changed the female ones to that tightly tucked chain bonnet thing it is now. Looks much worse than the original imo.

i like it cause of the Mandela Effect meme

they didn't change it, we're just in a different parallel universe than in 1999 where the BB ring is slightly moved lol.

The mind is a beautiful thing, the lady confused about cloud storage and fascinated by crystals i assume due to healing properties or something(lol) is unironically asking a not stupid question

The concept is to store data optically in non-photosensitive transparent materials such as fused quartz, which has high chemical stability. Recording data using a femtosecond-laser was first proposed and demonstrated in 1996

Researchers have developed a method of storing data within nanoscale structures inside fused quartz, effectively creating a "memory crystal" capable of storing vast amounts of data for billions of years

That's the beauty of that show (How To, on Max).

Essentially, the guy just follows the weirdest people he can find around with a camera, and somehow he gets them to produce really great footage. For instance, that show started out being about memory, but he ran into a guy at a grocery store who talked about the Mandela Effect, and it led to him filming that "convention".

The information about optolythic data rods suggests they are a fictional technology
used in the Star Trek universe for secure, tamper-proof data storage. There is no indication that they utilize liquid crystal as a medium.
Liquid crystals, however, are a real-world technology with potential applications in data storage, particularly holographic storage

close enough

Oh I also remember the spell shrink working outdoors, not just potions, because I remember that when playing my dwarf cleric running around butcherblock, it always felt like you were moving so much faster because your view is lower to the ground, so any time I was in BB or any other outdoor zone on my shaman I'd double shrink myself using the spell. I never trained alchemy on my live shaman, so I know I wasn't using a potion. Once again though, no idea on the specific date range other than between 99 and 2001 when I quit

This actually sounded vaguely classic, so I went looking for evidence. I found a forum post titled "Shrink Nerf" from 4/25/00 on The Shaman's Crucible ... but sadly the post itself has been lost to time.

I don't know how else they could have nerfed shrink (I mean, they could have raised the mana cost or lowered the range or something, but why?) ... but still better evidence is likely needed to restore outdoor shrinking on Green 2.0.

Yeah that's gotta be it... date totally makes sense, sounds like it was likely a nerf that happened right around kunark launch.

Must find more evidence, cruising around everywhere as a mini barbarian was so fun.
