Wtf do you mean "the tools to know about it" ?

The "tools to know about it" are:
Hey you. Fuckface. This is how you MQ shit.

That's it. That's all the tools.

And MQs still work up to Luclin, but Luclin got around them by creative means, and it wasn't until PoP when they actually patched them out.

To this day on Live, you can still MQ everything in Classic that you always could MQ, because someone CRACKED THE DA VINCI CODE, and said:
Hey. Fuckface. This is how you MQ shit.

I do agree that, even to this day, the whole mystique of the concept scares and confuses people. A buddy of mine on Live was doing one of the sub-quests for Mage epic and thought he had completely bungled it by handing in a wrong piece, and one of the right pieces for the quest, and I was just like "nah man, you have until basically a server reset or someone else has the hand-in pieces to fix this" and didn't have to re-do everything like he thought he did.

Yep absolutely.

We MQ'd stuff all the time back then. Jboots most obviously (in early kunark era for sure, I can't recall doing so before then as I only played for a few weeks pre kunark). I absolutely mq'd my chardok ring from rogue to monk in the early luclin timeframe. We did a lot of armour mq's in velious.

As far as classic, genuine classic I can't be sure but beyond that it was fairly common and well known.

It's amazing that you think the boomers and gen x were as forgiving and generous as the millennial generation running games now. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Half the time they wouldn't even talk to people that didn't pose with L's on their foreheads. There was extreme class warfare back in the 90's where if you weren't part of the "in" crowd, you simply didn't have access to the information. Real Big Hording.

I like that you've ousted which side of the hording you were on with your statement that "everyone knew" though. Makes it real fukin simple to see how the rest of this pans out. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No you can't, they changed it for specific quests.

What I remember from classic eq sites was endless asking of questions "is this MQable?"

Disagree, but that would be proof of how people didn't know what quests could be MQ'ed. The game code was not understood like it is now and it's something that would have been fixed if it was widely known during the early years when the devs cared about the RPG side of the game.

[Zuranthium]

Yep yep yep. People were largely unaware of what quests even existed, much less how to cheat their completion or if MQing would work.

[Penish]

literally everyone who actually 'plays' uses SEQ

omg did you not know?

[PatChapp]

Yeah I bought a boot mq shortly after kunark launched

[Duik]

A bot telling us how to human.
Platinum plated Golden Silver a PlatGolVer if you will. Have it for ShanksGiving.
Also, as Troxxigen has said the bot owner has taken over (at least partially) the Rimitto persona. My guessbis you are pissed your ruse was discovered so quick. Now you are attacking poor people cuz you are butthurt.

Bring back the bot. Or not. I dont care what it learns or if it learns.
