I like recharging and think it should stay because it is classic, but technically I think it is an exploit isnt it? Didn't they eventually remove it on live? Still irrelevant I guess, cause it did exist in classic, but if they intended there to be item recharging on live they probably would have made like an item recharge vendor or something I would think, instead of the weird roundabout way we do it here.

An "exploit" is in the eye of the beholder [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Many practices here on P99 would be considered exploits if you just asked a random player (or even a random GM) back in '99.

But I think the best definition of "exploit" here (a server that strives to emulate EQ as it was in '99) is "something the GMs would have punished you for doing back in '99". And by that criteria recharging isn't an exploit, because SOE didn't fix it until after the classic era. Speculating on what SOE would have done if they were running P99 just leads to non-classic thinking.

This is a big part of why I only do OT hammers for guildies and people I have known for a long time. Curious to what the staff's opinion is on this as well.
