that being said, spending dkp on your lvl 52 alt barbies vox/naggy toons is quite literally peak p99
My friend got called an ebayer in 2000 because he had FBSS, 2x Lamentation and full crafted on his level 38 warrior

My Velious experience (especially Kael raids etc) was mostly during the start of Luclin back in the day. I remember going to one with the raid window and being the only shaman on it having to buff everyone.

Time ticked to the next expansion faster than I'd have liked.

RecondoJoe, of course not. People aren't BIS before Luclin dropped because there is no Luclin on this server.

The only raid loot I recall ever seeing sold for twinking on my live server was the blade of carnage, otherwise the most expensive gear you could buy was a fungi tunic. Custom velious helms were an extremely rare sighting (probably saw less than 5 myself) and that was when I left well into luclin launch before pop

Whats not classic is Discord, guild bot armies, rooted dragons, 500-600 population, and absolutely 0 innovation on the classic spirit of the game.

And that's stuff you can't actually fix, only way to make a emu actually classic is to find 1200 people that have never played before, stick them on island somewhere and just give them access to like a binder with some random info from castersrealm/ allahakazam and tell em to figure it the fuck out

i'd rather watch that as a tv show than try to theory craft some way to make bitter vets not be shitty
