What are some of the exploits that you guys remember from back in the day?

I just remembered one - killing the red con Qeynos Sewers sharks from land. Could hit them, they couldn't hit me. Great xp

Rogues only should be allowed to do this.

Oh yea, I think eroding sharks were like that too.

Definitely remember you could stand on qeynos rooftops and nuke without recourse... until the gm shows up.

charm causing social agro even after it expired. remember stumbling across a lot of priest of discord v. guard battles. apparently you could do this in bastion of thunder or some other zone in PoP and cause an all-out war between the factions

having edited zonefiles on your computer

sharing no drop items in ovens and forges

going LD as a mage basically anywhere and causing vobeker to go on a separation-anxiety fueled murderfest

typing ||||||||||||| to people and crashing them

you could 'cancel' a banned account and turn it into a closed account in good standing by logging into a non-banned, active account and going to the cancel prompt all the way to confirmation and logging into the banned account, then pressing cancel on the good acct

didnt the banker in befallen that just straight up dupe platinum or something ridiculous?

I think the charm thing was actually that NPCs had factions but maybe I’m wrong (and they eventually deleted the faction thing, but once an NPC was kos to another NPC in town they’d battle immediately upon respawning - a guy did an AMA on this on Reddit a couple years back)

it was the banker in runnyeye

you could turn any amount of coin into copper then take the copper and place it directly into the plat spot in the bank and it would become plat in a 1 to 1 ratio, infinite plat

if anyone remembers the url or exact name of the old fires of heaven forum thread on eq1 nostalgia/exploits, it was something like 100 pages of players sharing exploits

it is still accessible on wayback if someone has it squirreled away

[bubur]

found it. 56 pages it turns out

In Planes of Power up until around DoN (quite a few expansions,) there was a pretty crazy exploit. I ended up finding about it a few months before it got nerfed, wishing I had known about it years prior.

If you hit Mass Group Buff, then an instant cast AA, cast a spell and duck, it would immediately refresh the instant cast AA. I had access to my cousin's cleric, and using this exploit, you could summon an unlimited amount of instant cast pet hammers. You could also spam something like cleric 100% AA rez.
