manastones drop to just a novelty toy

it would be a huge fuk you to all the people with multiple stones across there account, hell right now manastone is being camped by a warrior... a warrior dosent need one but i know a shit ton of clerics that can camp it and wont be able to because classes that cant use it are because they know how rare its gonna be in a week shooting the value to near priceless

classic is suppose to be fun its suppose to have you enjoy eq the way it was mean to be, its starting to not get fun with crap like this

i love this server but when kunark is released i dont see myself playing here... starcraft 2 will be out by then and i can name easily 100 people that wont be here

server is already has a small population even for a classic server wed need 2-3k pop to sustain kunark or every zone is gonna have 1-2 people in it, i miss classic i dont miss loot whoreing like this

leave the items in game let everyone enjoy them like they meant to be sucks missing the train once 10 years ago and again 10 years later

it would really make all of the losers with multiple stones camped it would drop the value of the item to sustainable lvls, its already at 40k next week its gonna be 140k, it also frees up more spawns that will soon be over camped when you remove these items

DO IT DEVS MAKE CLASSIC CLASSIC

ps when is the official patch for this next friday?

when kunark comes out, can I have your loots?

Also, why do you care so much, if you don't plan on playing when kunark comes out.

I've got mine, take em out.

I will give you my manastone if you give me what I invested to get it or compensate me minimum wage for my time. I spent at least 120 hours killing hill giants and powerleveling people to get the platinum to buy it. So I would like 1000 dollars American or a level 50 SK or Mage fully geared with the best no drop items.

Now you cannot say you "CANT" get one you are just choosing not to.

[Excision Rottun]

Leave the items in.

[Segoris]

I'd vote leave them in, for many people this is their second chance to get it and lots of people still are just hearing about this server for the first time and becoming interested. That is proven by the increase in our average people online. I can see making jboots quested, since at least they stay in the game. Rubicite is pretty crappy, I'd vote to just have ravenscale have a better chance to drop then rubi on the same mobs but keeping rubi in game. Then leave the manastone be.

Yeah yeah, I get it, it's not how classic was. I'd rather have a couple of items in game that keep people happy and playing in increasing numbers then remove them just to serve the purpose of being closer to classic emulation (especially since none of these items will matter much after Kunark except the jboots). I doubt think this will be the route taken, but it is what gets my vote.

If we are going to leave the items in until everyone has one them just make every character start with 1 of each item and be done with it.

I say keep it all like it is, i dont see why its a such a big deal except for the ppl who have perma camped them to maximize profit when it stops dropping. also theres alot of ppl who always wanted to actually camp a certain item theirselves just to say theyve experienced it and own the item. IE manastone was always one of mine. besides i'd like to see the server stay exactly like it is, as it was in the beginning. yea things changed on the way to velious but doesnt mean it was for the best, i think keeping these items like they are now will keep new players and old alike eager to hit some of the zones more often to get themselves a nifty twink item or sometihng useful like the box, mask or boots. the only reason to take them out or change them as i see it is to give some of these perma campers bragging rights when the shit is no longer available to the masses. let the hate begin...

Manastone obviously excludes non-mana classes to begin with. In addition, it's usefulness is severely diminished if you don't have the ability to heal yourself. Soloing with a manastone might let you kill a mob faster but at the cost of waiting to regen hitpoints instead of mana. Shaman have Cani, mages have modrods, bards can regen both mana and hp at the same time, Enchanters will soon be able to steal mana, etc…
Also if you are using manastone in a group, it’s true that you will be able to nuke more for faster kills but then the healer just ends up wasting mana on you instead of the tank.
It’s a very neat item for sure and can save you at times, but it’s not quite as practical as some make it out to be.

If you don't care about a manastone, then you don't care about being good. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I still love that quote, but decided it would be childish to keep taunting with it in my signature forever. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Still makes me laugh! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

By all means, keep using it.
