I would like to read these sources, though



I searched the forum for "dolalin mage" and found "Mages were HORRIBLE at launch" and "Mages are up shit's creek I guess", which are 15 and 34 pages respectively. Do I need to go through one of those threads to find the proof?
go on the page with tons of shit about classic, you'll find the master piece where he got the staff here to break a class back like it was broken bbefore

Why the attitude? A lot of people in this thread sound like they were part of the original discussion. Surely someone can at least point me to the discussion they're referring to?

Maybe the reason the developers haven't removed the XP penalty is because the proof is buried "somewhere" on the forums and just hasn't been brought to their attention.

I don't understand this post
The developers haven’t removed it because they are selectively classic, which they can be since it’s their server after all. Anything that makes the game arguably easier they won’t implement

I will not research it again, there is a page someone where people link bugs and shit like that. And a post about classic. should be at the top of a section.

In it youll find the post in which Dolalin used evidence out of context to revert mages back to a broken class. he links his source. It's a long long message board chain. read it and you will see we are not suppose to have pet taking exp. at worst 25% but even that was not there at launch.

But the staff ignores that but use that same source to break a class.

the first 70 or so day, barely anyone got to 20, servers were down most of the time. People didnt even knew EQ existed. Context is different.

EQ released as the end of a beta, Magician was not fixed yet but they did right at release, the problem is people cant put things into perspoective. At the rate that we play with a stable server and experience player base, we are already past 4-5 month of the real classic release experience. Which we will never have since this is not classic, its custom.

The dream the staff had wasnt to recreate the bugged unfinished release product, thats just some freak nerds around here. The goas as always been to recreate a fun game we loved that spanned into the 2 first expac. Not sure why we insist of a 2 month shit show at start

I searched Dolalin's post history and found that he referred to this post from 2002 stating that, prior to the change being discussed, pets took 50% XP if they did 50%+ damage: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/story.html?story=960

Unless there is more, earlier information I didn't find, this is rather compelling proof that the 50% XP penalty was classic.

yes its earlier was same thread that discussed the added pet to vendor.
And not compelling, cherry picking.
The very same source he used stated that it was 25% at some point earlier and he still went with the 50% for his evidence.

its being dishonnest. I wont bother going back through it, someone will i am sure. It wont matter, staff were decided to fuck mages up. so we will just wait january,.
