Doing restrictions/patches based off of original developer intent now? When's that Soulfire nerf coming?

Same patch with any luck!

I used to PL 0-45 in 4 hrs. Not that big a deal.

Doing a SQL database sort and mod to flag all existing epics to grandfather them in, also is not that big of a deal.

The functionality to do something like this already exists, if not from one side, then from the other side ala Circlet of Shadows, Pre-nerf fungi staff, etc. so not sure why this would remain off the table?

So is doing an sql query of epics and when levels were achieved. Delete all epics attained before 46. And require min level of 46 to attain.

I can see epic with fungi, would make rapid solo exp. With no need to group.

Maybe they should require you to group in grouos of 3 or more to get exp? That would help force ppl to group more!

Not classic, but good change.

OK, Ill bite on this.

You seem to be implying this change doesn't affect a lot of people outside of an antisocial minority, you might even be implying most twinks are ill-gotten gains.

We both know that twinking is a major part of classic Everquest. Heck, its a major part of Everquest in general.

You know what forget it.... Just like in real life, a few criminals (RMTers) make all the rules and changes for the rest of us normal people to follow right??

"A few people ruin things for the majority all the time, deal with it"

Whatever. Not a progressive design decision. And the staffs total indifference that a few scumbags selling twink epics are going to ruin a classic experience for the entire community is harmful imo.

I thought of a new name for Project 1999, but afraid it will be construed as disrespecting staff so I will keep it to myself. Good day sir and thank you for all of the other good work, and for making this server possible in the first place.

... got prof? What's your secret? Was this before the nerf to cap max xp per kill at 10% or whatever?

I think most telling is, in my research, there isn't any indication of SOE ever removing any of the alleged restrictions of characters having epics pre 46.

I imagine if SOE had removed whatever mechanic people think existed that prevented a level 45 from completing an epic, there would have been a post to the effect of "LOL I CAN LEVEL 1 EPIC ROGUE NOW", which there isn't.
