No legacy items with pre determined camp sites and timelines should exist in the next P99 server launch. It isn't classic to have a guide book to riches due to "scarcity" in this fashion. EQ servers launched after nerfs had the nerfs in place. Manastones didn't exist in sullon zek, etc.

The implementation of these items on p99 is ALREADY custom in this sense, so it should be customized further to not make the game insanely toxically about hoarding items waiting for them to become valuable "legacy" items.

We have 3 servers that played that way. Mainly 2 servers because during Blue time nothing was really determined. Red was OK because of PVP but green was horrible.

So next Red and next Green should be more thoughtful for the sake of classic.

I wouldn’t mind that type of system with manastone. Or honestly make it certain types of 40+ mobs and rotate it to different ones every like 6 months without telling anyone.

This makes a lot of sense. Seems more "classic" to launch new servers without these removed items if that was the case.

Can also make removed items a very rare random global drop off any mob over a certain level. This may encourage people to actually play the game?

imo /list is fine, but it shouldn't be a flat interval for all camps, should adapt to the respawn interval. would make sense to let it be paused and resumed where time on /list ranks you into the current list.

also should require active participation in killing the ph at spot <4 or something

When did the great elf sim become an equity sim? All these rules and regulations make things not fun. Just like RL.

Rules and regulations are usually a direct result of people doing bad things.

If you don't like rules and regulations then go to Red. Few people play there for a reason. Some rules and regulations can make the game more fun for more people.

w1zard no one left red because it didn't have enough rules and regulations. It has tons of rules and regulations. But you're right that it is a better place to play the game than blue or green these days. Even low pop.

Just gonna use my bag full of manastones to wipe each individual tear off the eye of each elf complaining 'list isn't fair.'

This is why we can't have nice things.

I'd recommend on green 2.0 that when they break something with a patch they don't take a year to fix it
