To keep it from getting further bottlenecked by having people just camping it for cash. Manastone is one of *the* big things in EQ a lot of people have always wanted to see drop for themselves, but never got to due to either tike constraints or the excessive greed of others. No reason to not make it No Drop when the server is all about chasing those nostalgia endorphin moments.

Certain people camped one after another with no other goal but to make money or even just hoard them in case of a merger someday. There's stockpiles still sitting out there just waiting for the market to increase even if it never merges.

No drop ends all of that, and keeps it feeling rare as the years go on from some of the early players who camped them starting to retire and come and go from the game.

Please learn to read. I agreed with making it No Drop.

I was agreeing with you responding to the guy before you questioning no drop. Please try to follow the thread beyond the most recent post you read.

I don't know how they'd stop account sharing without making it an awful experience for regular people as well.

Make a name that is memorable and easy to type.

Having it no drop but limited time still
Means you construct your play around its acquisition in the first period of the game which ruins the first period of the game because it’s by far the highest value goal, and takes you basically right into kunark getting guises and manastones let alone lustrous russet

That whole thing is a p99 non classic experience I’d like to have a classic server rather than an on-rails FTW experience

For the manastone list, make it more difficult for players to farm over and over again.
-Set the minimum level to join the list to 50
-Each character can only do it once
-Player must be wearing jboots to join list

The list system is fine if you can prevent players from automating it.

This is stupider than the kid who won't stop bitching about losing a single Scryer spawn like a week ago. Never suggest anything ever again. This is fucking bad and unworkable on multiple levels.

Please explain why it’s a bad idea.
