Yes imo,

Rubicite
box of abukar
manastones
Rez staves
thex dagger
guises
lustrous russet and cryosilk
mistwalker
Egg pumice (maybe)
jboots quested

Probably forgetting some other stuff off the top of my head.

That would be unfortunate. Reliving my classic days and decking my Ranger out in Rubicite is one of the biggest reasons I'd even bother with the Re99 server. If they eliminated that I don't think I'd have any interest in starting fresh there.

It's either ban it outright or have people doing weird anti-social shit to make sure they get it before it's removed from the game. In the end, a couple guilds would probably have the zone on lockdown 24/7, preventing normal nerds like you and me from having access to rubicite at all.

We didn't know that certain items were going to be removed or nerfed in classic. We might have gotten a couple weeks worth of warning before a patch, but that was it. That's the main difference between classic and P99 and it has to be taken into consideration or else really bad things end up happening.

Either way, eliminating it would cause me to lose any interest in Re99. I mean, we are keeping other features of classic that are very dated in the interest of preserving that "classic" feel, so we might as well go 100%.

If they ever actually get around to doing custom content, it would be nice if put some of the removed items back into the game, in a nerfed form if necessary.

I wouldn't mind one that was locked without legacy items and no planes/kunark/velious.

Basically when you want 50+ or easymode items you move on to bluetrue.

Not to derail but this is why (3) teams pvp would be pretty great.

1 group dominating content, locking down guises/manastone/thex? Other 2 groups ally to take them down then split the camp 50/50. Even if you're undergeared/underleveled, you could time it right and catch them midway through a fight, tank low on hp and healer lom. Basically like stealing aegis/cheese off rosh.

It would also make QM spawn a bit more...interesting. Not being able to just sit people there semi-afk at the three spawn points with one person killing PHs. A small group being that separated from each other, it would be too easy for them to be picked off by another team.

Incorporate teams pvp into re-99 imo. Then after the expansions, just "retire" the players to blue99 heaven where everyone gets along and cares about their fellow elf...

I've never played PVP Everquest, but I've always thought the teams server would be awesome IF it had population. Population being the only reason i don't personally play red

Probably another 500 with that mentality. If only you all logged in at once?

Oh wait... see you on launch night [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
