Does "Classic" mean a few dozen hold thrawl? Or why every mob should pop every 6 hrs

I like the fact some shit is hella rare, even if it's others that have it.

Exactly. I'm not here to own all the pixels. I'm here to fight for all the pixels. If I wanted to own all the pixels I could spin my own server or play some other emulated game like DAOC or WoW.

If some turbonerd wants to spend ∞ time camping something, awesome. I'll camp the shit out of stuff like my enchanter epic, and not stress the rest. Some times I like to go outside. Some people don't. Let them have more pixels than me. It's okay.

It's not about having more pixels. Its about what you say when you say your "here to fight for all the pixels". What if you don't ever get to do that. That's the point.

You want your chanter Epic, good luck. I hope you get it, IIRC its the most trivial Epic in the game. Now go get the Cleric Epic which requires you to camp a spawn for up to 12 days. Not hours. Days.

Oh and when it pops you need 20+ other players to turn up and engage before someone else gets their 20+ other players there.

At the end of the timeline they should just set every mobs respawn to 2 hours and remove raid rules.

Can you imagine, scheduling a NToV or a Statue/Tormax raid on your calendar and knowing it will likely be sitting there for you to take a shot at?

It would be amazng.

And most of the server and game population would find it fantastic.

That it isn't standard, is kinda disappointing. As I said earlier, it does not make the game easier, it does not remove the look and feel of Classic.

won't happen - it's not classic. p99 leadership does not BEND to the demands of the casual masses. they will NOT obliterate classic mechanics simply to try and improve the server here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The question I have, is why you are playing Classic. Im playing (and enjoying) the look and feel of the game from 15 years ago. I'll likely be done once I have a couple of chars at 60 and the end game remains off book and the chance of epic is non existed (which did NOT happen on Live).

No Raid Encounters is Not Classic. It needs a bodge, just like they just bodged AE.

I sorta agree, the rarity is probably unnecessary to the degree we have it here.

But lets not exaggerate...not sure what epics you are talking about, but many were very much off-limits for a very long time for majority of players on live. You couldn't just casually get your epic for many classes, that was the point of them really.

The Cleric Epic was just stupid. Beyond stupid really.

I don't really recall ever class, I'm sure some were equally retarded as Cleric. But the bulk involved minor Planar or other bosses, bosses you could expect to kill outside of the hardcore Raid Guilds. The problem with P99 is that the hardcore people (remember a TINY fraction of the population) are using those drops as cash cows.

You know who else thought this way?
