Its alright guys.

There are tons of P99 players, IMO, that would come play at least part time on Red99 if there was no item loot. It's the straw that breaks their will to "come pvp". Remove item loot and the Red99 population picks up, IMO. Many won't even try beyond level 10 if there's item loot, or even a rumor of item loot. UO'ers back in the day said "what?? I get ONE item? Why cant i have ALL of their stuff??" It's all relative

Only way item loot works is if they comb the loot tables and add more NODROP tags.

Otherwise it's way way too imbalanced and fucks melees in the ass (when they're already screwed because of how classic is).


If players could feasibly gear MOST (not all) of their slots with decent no drop items, it would work. The problem is when some melee class is wearing all of his shit (because he has to, to stand a chance), and then his Breastplate of Awesome which he spent 8 hours farming for is taken by a naked caster.

I'm down to play item loot though -- I'll even roll a monk.

In classic, monk was by far the least gear dependent melee class. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Roll a warrior and i'll give you the props [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

We had item loot on TZ/VZ.... for a long time. RZ population increased when TZ/VZ removed it.

Item loot is stupid because casters can run around naked raping anyone. If Werhmacts stupid ass was still around he would be saying the same thing. While he was an idiot no doubt he was right about this aspect of item loot and how it favors casters way too much in an already dominant caster era of the game.

If you're not stacking resist gear then you're doing it wrong.

If resists aren't fucked, a geared melee can drop a naked wiz/caster no problem.

One on one, yes - but naked casters tend to come in groups of 30.
