Right. The posts talk of egg-shaped pumice being removed right around Kunark launch. This is pretty good evidence that the stuff was original content.

Changing somthing from classic because it is deemed uncool or unfit is all based on opinions, how can you mold classic to your liking?
do it the old way, haters gonna hate regardless.

I'm sure I'll get raged on, but you could

A: add a cast time or cooldown on it ?
B: make it lore ?
C: Make it expensive to buy from the vendor ?

Are any of those options viable ?

egg shaped pumice availability is something we need a decision on. This determines my class in game IMO.

It's a retarded item in the end, takes any thinking out of the game and shouldn't be in game. However, I couldn't care less if it's in or out...but it's need to know info IMO.

So funny the ones that want it out the most are the same ones that will be farming golem wands for days on end.

I dont see this as being a bad thing.

Farming for items that give you an advantage in PVP seems logical.
Buying vendor items that create imbalance in game is a problem.

When it comes down to it, I'll play by whatever rules. I'll have to adapt.

So stop them, using PvP. You can't stop them from buying a thingy from a vendor that never runs out.

BTW, if the "nerfed" version of the egg-shaped pumice is in game, the version with a cast time, it is practically the same thing as http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=3644 ... not sure why all these kids are crying

^ weak argument, IMO. Timed pumice is nowhere near the same as an instant clicky. The whole pumice thing changes pvp dynamics entirely. Gotta get a decision from management if it's in or out.

Adding a cast time would only turn it into regular pumice. Making it lore would still make group PVP useless, everyone hits the bard and then its game over. C would be the only viable option, but more people would just camp CT wants for the fun PVP that would ensue for basically the same item. Keep it rare to have, and reward those who fight for it. Its better just to keep it out, farm and fight for your PVP gear that is really what EQ is all about.
