Classic is kind of a Vague term anyway. At what point in timeline is EQ still considered "Classic"? The original game, no Kunark? Kunark? Velious? Which Patch? What about Hot fixes? Temporary Bugs? What day? What Hour is EQ still classic? Things were changing so often, that there is no to tell perfectly how the game was actually functioning to perfect accuracy at anytime. P99 is good enough to be considered classic. Perfect reproduction of everything is unnecessary and not really possible at this point. The original source code is lost to time. All they have available to rebuild the original "Classic" game is random anecdotes from players at the time, patch notes, and the few developer comments. It's also kind of a strange rant. There may not have been a wiki and all the other stuff you listed, but people still shared information online as it became available. If "Classic" means perfect reproduction of some arbitrarily defined point in the development timeline and the web as it existed in time, then "Classic" is impossible to create. This seems more like a troll rant.

yes. For the purposes of this thread, clearly yes. p99 is "as close as one can get" is more a concession than a statement of what is possible. So, we got this vision, this no cats on the moon vision. We've now got two servers of it. To beguile my leisure, I need to go back further. Trying to imagine what EQ could have been if stamina/endurance had not been nerfed is a noble cause, and potential future for this so-called project 1999. Weapons, fight length, haste and speed buffs, should all interact with this missing mechanic. The fact is this entire path of game mechanics (stamina, the stat STA, and endurance) got neglected early on, finally jettisoned into the junkheap in 2003, and it still sits there on the interface. Yellow bar. Why not try to calculate how to fold it into the now-established "classic" of p99? A true un-nerfing. It would mean doing something with a foundational rpg feature, that the original game had, did not spend time on. We need young blood to nourish the Archons, however. And we cannot afford any.

This page reads like a personal blog from an agony aunt and mind reader. "...Like any rare drop, the RNG can make this extremely rare so don't get discouraged if you don't get the staff right away...for the more hardcore players who couldn't acquire a Staff during the classic era, you can one group Magi if you know what you're doing. He is even soloable by enchanters, much to the dismay of most players. This route is problematic, and I'm not going to go into detail on this, because I feel that farm crews ruin this awful grind and make it worse than it should be. If you're serious, and you have friends who are skilled, you can definitely kill mini's with small crews. Be aware of the server rules, and your reputation if you decide to go this route."

It sounds like somebody wants me to think that being unoptimistic about unoptimistic things means you have a mental problem not a legit concern. There's that evil bias again. Well, if you're gonna bring science into Norrath then why not politics too and label him as a right wing racist. | |||
