They were healthy.

Morell thule at kunark launch never had manastones.
Vazaelle at velious launch never had prenerf donals
Kane Bayle at Luclin launch never had beads.

They all flourished. Most of these early items are mistakes. I'd love a new server launch at current blue timeline for that reason. Less dumb shit to worry about camping. Less pissing and moaning from the have nots, who were always have nots, and will always be have nots, who perpetually blame everything/one else for their lack of dedication.

Thats what I'm saying. EQ didn't have "legacy items" they were just items that weren't in any new servers at all. There was never a time when people were thinking "omg i gotta get to 50 ASAP so i can get lustrous russet and a manastone or 12 asap so I can sell the manastones for 500kpp in 5 years when suckers really really want them!

It's the most fucked thing about p99 by a long shot and makes playing the progression 10,000 percent unclassic.

We get it, everyone wants manastones. They are cool items.

Implement this just permanently for the duration of the game, drop from evil eye with a .00001 percent chance of dropping. Or whatever you want. So many ways to implement the "legacy" items that are -custom- but LESS custom than having them on a ridiculous timed release schedule. fuck locket of escapes, fuck this stuff. Hoarding these items was not what EQ was about in 1999. Another decent late server idea is a Casino like SOny did in the bazaar that eats platinum (helps inflation) and gives small chance of these rare legacy items.

We need 1 red server and 1 blue server that comes out with a better implementation of this shit that completely eliminates the reason to RACE to level 50, and blow through the entire best part of the game, which is progressing through Vanilla when Bronze armor was legit decent armor to wear and monks BIS was basically full cloth and they were blind shitty humans only.

Sure, being first to 50 overall or for your class..cool. That can be your accomplishment. But getting there to stockpile DE mask equipped characters, Manastones, and lustrous russet equipped toons is so unclassic it almost breaks my spirit. I'm speaking from experience. I played on blue. I played on red. Its dumb and its unique to P99 so lets fix it.

/list promotes boxing.

how insanely easy is it to grind xp somewhere, whilst absent mindedly camping a /list item on your laptop via cell phone hotspot or VPN?

I guarantee you that alot of people did this.

I wish I had thought of it at the time, or I would have done this.

thread is done.

How dare you cast aspersions towards us noble elves, who fairly camped legacy items through legitimate and honorable means, by insinuating the above-listed actions were commonplace.

Nay. I say nay to you, wily elf!

I am happy my 401EC account is safe and sound thanks to my hard efforts. Sorry, you didn't plan for elftirement. Learn from your mistakes for the next iteration.

So you can't compete and you want the rules changed so no one can receive classic items? Or make it so everyone can get it? Why stop there? Let's remove all sleepers loot as well.

legacy items were removed from the live game because they were mistakes to implement in the first place.

why p99 has to deal with this shit is beyond me.
