So... How classic do you want it?

[Ferahgo]

Yes! Doooo it!

[Kohedron]

Woah woah now, not *that* classic!

If your going to go as far as doing this, i better have 1 of my 3 randomly chosen combat midis playing when i engage in combat not just the same one over and over again..

I'm spit-balling here, but when one meditates they close their eyes no?

I'm neither for nor against the idea of full screen spellbook I will play no matter what.

Of course, they do, they also don't track mobs, shuffle things in and out of their backpacks, create a set of banded armor, or heed their groupmates' cries for help as they become monster food.

No, they attempt to become one with their master, the source of their mana and spells

Importantly though, according to the Timeline (which you probably also maintain [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) Paineel was already in at Blue launch http://wiki.project1999.com/Timeline.

Do we know that what was in at blue launch won't necessarily be in at Green launch?

Things that come to mind immediately:
- Paineel and corresponding quests (I assume)
- Deity specific quests were all in at blue launch, and I think most of them were not original classic.
- Many crafting recipes were incorrectly included (I don't think we had a single crafter from live on the dev team): Fine Plate, Wu's Armor, Jewelery Crafting Stuff, etc. I assume these won't be in at launch.
- Some planes were accidentally left open somehow, I believe so people snuck in a bit early
- I believe there was one shaman DoT that had the live values, instead of classic values.
- Guards weren't properly stealing exp. So basically you could deal 51% damage to a mob, and drag it to a guard to finish it for you. This was in for a very short period of time, and we remedied it as quick as possible.
- Blue Diamonds may have been dropping initially as well, and I think those were removed form drop tables until later.
- Tumpy Tonics WERE NOT in initially. Aeolwind eventually implemented that quest part way into Blue launch, accidentally forgot to revert Kiola Nuts to classic non-stackable and thus there was tumpy-gate. (I couldn't find a link to it, but a ton of people got suspended and stuff for exploiting the bug, and not reporting it.)
- Whirl Till You Hurl definitely was not working properly at launch. Enchanters were using it to permanently stun creatures while the party took no damage.
- Translocators instead of Boats

I am sure there are a bunch more, these are the ones that came to mind immediately.

Good stuff. Most, if not all of these will be fixed for Green launch. Paineel is still an internal discussion, we're making sure we can complete that before launch. We already have the ability to disable/enable buttons as needed at character select, so if we do this we will disable Erudite Shadowknights until the appropriate era.

Keep lists like this coming, and of course we still intend to get beta up as soon as possible so we can nail down any remaining items. I'm expecting the new hardware to show up early next week, which means we could see beta by next weekend.

You have broken my heart.
