legend holds the Dald, or "Daldaen", was once a noble adventurer. a true force for good in the realms. but over time, he become embittered, and opened his heart to the forces of evil. one fateful adventure, he delved too far and too deep, and he was turned from the path of light and his very joy of adventure consumed by the unfathomable horrors he had faced on his ill fated quest. only his malevolent spirit now remains to wander the lands he once called home. it is said that the Dald will lure vulnerable p99'ers into the woods near these forums, confusing and cajoling them with his demented dystopian visions, so he may feed on their joy, and, some say, their very elf souls, in an eternal and ultimately futile effort to restore his own. the curse of the Dald is to never again truly walk upon these lands, but never to truly leave them, either.

Still think the staff will implement something stopping this kind of behaviour

Everyone and their mother has a pair of hollogresh elder beads lol

Not one person that wanted 1+ pair didn't get them LOL

Stop freaking out people. You will get a manastone and a guise.

How long will both manastone and guise be available based on the original timeline? I can confirm holgresh beads were not perma-camped after a while despite everyone's prognostications they would be.

So the question I have is, how do you think this is going to play out after seeing all the cordial players qued up for everything on classic WoW? Are we going to do the same? Or is it going to be a shitshow? I cant wait to find out lol

Hard to say really. It will be really, really tough to pry some folks away from their 1000th AC corpse camp to bother. Then again, I cannot see into the soul of the helplessly trapped pixel hoarder. Do they start over with the allure of manastones, a bucket and a fresh prescription of Xanex? Or, do they stay the course and get that sweet, sweet hit of dopamine when another Hiero Cloak drops on blue?

We shall see.

At the very least, I hope they bar players from being logged in to both servers simultaneously. Preventing players from being able to hold a camp on green and blue at the same time seems like a reasonable ask.

Is it really worth hoarding play on green when no one even has anything to sell?

I think its mathematical. (this is some garage math so don't sign anything)

lets take the player base, say its around 800 peak/downtime average

take the timeline (1 year) until expansion.

figure out the possible average plat generated per day (after subtracting plat destroyed)... idk what could that be, 90(ish?) zones (in classic eq) um, lets say 100 plat average per zone being generated, so thats 900 plat per day?

times 365

*punches numbers on calculator on desk made of phone books in his hoder basement*

328,500 plat generated in 1 year of everquest.

So, take all that, spread it out among an 800 average players, That leaves everyone with a measly 410.625 plat.....

OK!

so my math is wrong obviously that's idiotic there must be more plat generated than that..

BUT MY POINT was that..

Some of the most valuable items in classic are basically useless for the most part after kunark (save the dragon ones) so plat is really the best way for anyone to have a leg up on the economy once Kunark drops. The best weapons and armor, all get dwarfed so, hording those wont be of much use come kunark...

You know what, really, screw all this... its probubly, whoever has the most manastones that is going to win.

so hold onto your butts that's gonna be a fun camp lol
