OP just ask your in-game friends for a port when you need it. You seem like the type of guy who has lots of friends

I actually do. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Though personally I rarely use ports, I prefer SoW since you get to experience more of the game by running(aside from hhk with the giant face in the wall). [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Since this thread was created to ask questions, here are the answers:



No, nothing is stopping a player from creating a corpse to be resurrected at firepots. Though, that set up and maintenance of said set up would take too much time to be considered efficient or worth the trouble.



It's less about good vs bad and more about what happened on live and replicating such a major change to make it "classic" on P99. You're also trying to push this as some sort of hate against solo players, but EQ was never made to be played by yourself. If the devs started to cater to all QoL changes to accommodate every type of person and scenario, the game wouldn't look too much different than current live.

I'd like to argue that point. EQ was meant to be played in any way you want to play it. It has a punishing system but that doesn't mean it's not free and open. You're never "FORCED" to use magic as a magician, You're not forced to group up to kill and level up, and you're never forced to only align with 1 part of the world faction-wise. The devs went out of their way to make it as free and open as possible while still maintaining form.

Personally, I don't believe firepots were ever intended to be for everyone. They seem more like an abandoned quest line to me. Which, let's be honest, is a pretty common thing in this game. Another reason I believe them to be a quest line specifically for enchanters is because of the significance.
There are 12 pots in the room, and only 13 races (half elf not included). Enchanters specifically are the only class that can become all 13 races, and furthermore, these teleports are all to "safe" locations that are just outside of places where enemies would auto-aggro. That's 2 reasons right there why I think this area was specifically built for enchanters by the devs, or at the very least, to test illusion magics or breaking into towns with aggro and factions. (again why I say it might also be for necromancer).
The whole "miragul's highway" thing is another firm evidence/reason why I believe that this was supposed to be for enchanters.

I respect your ideals but I respectfully disagree that this should remain as is... at least for enchanters.

Enchanters are one of the most broken classes. You don't need special treatment... PLUS your one of the few classes that gets a FREE OT hammer.

Find a beach, locate the sand, proceed to pound it.

what they gain in solo they make up for by not having any fun raiding.

If enchanters aren’t fun at raids you aren’t taking an active enough role in the raid. Bind sight, charm, memblur, tash, slow, cripple. Lots of things to do.

Your belief is that the original devs put the firepots in the game as a broken quest for enchanters to test their illusions? Now you're asking for the no bind rule to be removed for enchanters, when the original game designers removed them to begin with?

How do you come up with this shit?

Drugs.

Lol, OP is as terrible at making convincing arguments as he is at playing enchanter. No surprise he's reaching for any crutch possible.

Says he prefers sow to ports so he can see more of the game while complaining about being too late to bind at pots. Thanks for the laugh.

Binds are for wusses. Corpse and bank runs are classic. Why play here if you aren't looking for the classic experience?

Lol it’s funny you mention that. From 2000 until I stopped playing live I always kept a complete backup set of gear in the bank. Without thinking about it I still do this on many of my p99 toons. Any nodrop alternatives I have sit in the bank just in case it’s needed.

It’s never needed though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
