Really the drop rate just needs to be fixed, it is non-classic. I was a mage main during live and this was not the bottleneck for any mages (the sky crown was).

If you can prove the drop rate is wrong with a decent source I'm sure they'd change it.

P99 is more classic than all other EQ servers on the market.

The original source code is lost, so we will never have a 100% classic server.

Nor can you expect people to play P99 the same way people played in 1999.

If you mean 'classic' as in era accurate, I feel like TAKP is way more accurate to it's era than p99 is.

I agree, but TAKP is lucky because they had a PoP era client they could decompile. That makes the job much easier to do.

P99 doesn't have a Velious era client they can decompile.

P99 is the most classic server on the market for the Classic -> Velious experience.

The TAKP folks already decompiled several 1999-2001 clients and Torven pieced together a timeline of changes he noticed in those clients. Oddly enough there was a lot of server-side logic buried in the Classic - Kunark clients, which I think stopped on one of the midway-through-Velious clients?

None of the info gathered from these decompiles has been used by the P99 devs.

Torven didn't decompile those until around 2017 I think. So P99 was already well established by that point. It's crazy to think Green launched in 2019.

I think that was Demonstar that did the decompiles actually. My bad.

a simple way to fix the toxicity of this camp would be to ban camping out in PoH. If you camp out or /q, go ld and survive, your char is moved to Sro or WC spires. Voilà

No more monopolizing of the spawn this way because anyone would need to come with a break group and fight in order to track

That would be highly abusable to significantly de-risk entering/navigating the zone.

how?
