Oh while we're talking about Sumerian tablets... I found a missing patch message from late May!

OH SNAP HERE IT IS, MAGE PETS START CASTING SPELLS ONLY IN LATE MAY 1999:

Awesome. So there it is right now for Rogean/Nilbog to review and hopefully implement on Green. Server launched 03/16 and this patch is late May. So a little over 2 months or so after launch are when pets should be given spells. BAM! Now who's the dude saying "fake news" now? Lol

Also this should be combined with the missing pet vendor not being in-game or not selling pet spells post level 20.

Gunna be drowning in all the tears from master pre-arranged mage groups now.

This got me.

- We have reduced the amount of experience lost when dying by 50%.

This would have helped me 2 weeks ago when I hit level 14, 13 different times. Probably my favorite of the non enchanter changes.

Thank you Dolalin, I've been looking for that May 1999 patch message from the Death Penalty thread.

Interesting that spell components were not stackable apparently, not sure if this refers to reagents or research components.

No prob I find this fun.

I'll go through the rest of the list tomorrow, gotta head to bed.

Yeah, changing sound tracks in the planes definitely sounds like a priority for one of the first game patches

i'm pretty leary of taking morons as gospel 20 years after the fact.

How is it the same guy who says "This is an enchanters take on the changes." can jive with "I don't play an enchanter but I am sure that they will like this."

Pretty sure he meant to say he doesn't play magician. Given thr context of the rest of the post.

So magician pets don't kick?

At least he could copy-paste, that's all I care about.

I'm reminded of that manuscript of boring old Bible writing where they put it under the X-ray and found the monk had written over a copy of a mathematical treatise by Archimedes.

Nobody cares what the monk wrote over top, it's what he accidentally preserved underneath that had value. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
