Oh cool, didn't know we were removing things that were classic just because we don't like them.

Can we get rid of hybrid & race XP penalties too?

Oh and we should add Jedi as a new custom class, that would be totally sweet. *wrrrrr**lightsaber noise**wrrrrr* Can you imagine it? I have *such* a boner right now. This new custom content emu server is going to be awesome!

By your, ahem, reasoning...

Rogues should be able to pickpocket dragons clean.
Fish rolls should sell for more than it costs to make them from 100% vendor sold materials.
etc. etc.

Classic != 100% right

And....shut the fuck up.

Anything that was changed on live within the scope of this server's lifespan (i.e up to and including Velious) should be fair game if it obviously helps PvP. They don't need to make very many of these changes, it's not as if the game won't be recognizably classic. If they take minor liberties with just the few things that are truly horribly broken, such as unlimited insta-pumice and charming/fearing players, it can only benefit the server.

*Such* a slippery slope when you start trying to justify not-classic things on a classic server. I enjoy watching the mental gymnastics; it's pretty comical.

*everything up to Velious is kosher for classic now guys! as long as it helps the server!*

Yeah, too bad your opinion of what "helps" is almost never the same as anyone else's.

Is there a good argument for keeping in hybrid XP penalties other than "its classic, deal with it"? Sure sounds like a fine reply to removing egg-shaped pumice too. Lets try it.

"Its classic, deal with it."

I'm all for sticking to the timeline and removing pumice around the time Kunark rolls out. I don't think there's defensible logic to any other course of action that doesn't also justify a whole slew of other changes.

[Harrison]

I partially agree with you. Experience penalties and bonuses are a bug, and admittedly so by Verant. But, that will not be changed here and has been stated countless times.

Comparing instacast pumice to experience penalties is a laughable exercise though. Don't do it.

I feel blessed when intellectuals like Sarkov and Rust1d share their wisdom.

[Sarkov]

To be clear - I am not actually arguing in favor of doing away with hybrid/race xp penalties. I am saying that the logic used to justify removing egg-shaped pumice before it was removed in the classic timeline could also justify a lot of other changes, including removing the hybrid/race xp penalties.

The only "logic" I can see to defend one and not the other is "overlord rogean wants it that way." Well, fine. Can't really argue that point. But lets not try to pretend we are being anything other than hypocrites supporting that view.
