1998 was another time.

Not true bud. 71 days is not as fast as they could. They made "enhancements" to the class during this patch which added the ability for pets to cast spells, and in the process they added 1 pet to the vendor in OOT.

As fast as they could would be like the day 2 rogue patch where rogues had like no abilities on launch day and was patched in super fast...

Quit arguing pointless semantics. Once they realized the class as originally designed was terrible design, they fixed it and, when they felt those fixes weren’t sufficient, made more changes.

Wrong. They changed it on May 26, along with adding spells to pets. Before this patch pets were not able to cast spells. You are lucky they left that in on P99.

This is classic, until the May 26 patch.

Yeah and they changed it once they realized it was an absolutely terrible design decision. And I’m speaking as someone who doesn’t play a Mage and has zero interest in playing one, and it’s still a terrible design

^ is irrelevant though. We are not debating what should have been done or should not have. We will NEVER know. All we know is WHEN stuff got changed. This is a classic emu emulating those dates.

Okay, so how do you feel about all the non-classic aspects of the server? Are you okay with those? Or should things like pets not taking any EXP be in on day 1 to mirror classic launch?

Classic had no exp penalty for pets

Mages who stick it out will be glad they did once they see those focused level 49 pets in action.
