Nillipus' March of the Wee - should Not shrink
This song never actually applied 'Shrink' to you on Live, although it listed it as a spell effect for a very long time in the game data files. I remember this particularly as I played a top-end raiding Bard from Kunark until Omens and often wished it worked to annoy people. But, since that's anecdotal here is what I can find:
(May 5 2000- Aradune comments on Nillipus’, no mention of shrink) http://web.archive.org/web/200102021...ommuniques.htm (Dec 2 2000 grab- No mention of shrink effect) http://web.archive.org/web/200012020...aper/songs.htm (Dec 5 2000- No mention of shrink effect) http://web.archive.org/web/200012052...ns.asp?Id=1055 (Oct 8 2000- No mention of Shrink effect) http://web.archive.org/web/200102081...ngs/song52.htm (Oct 10 2000- Abashi comments on Nillipus’, no mention of shrink) http://web.archive.org/web/200010180...w.eqsongs.com/ (April 10 2001- “It just inceases AC/agi, it doesn’t make you small…”) http://web.archive.org/web/200312292.../songs.asp?=62 (Dec 1 2001- No mention of shrink) https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thec...p=12824#p12824 (July 11 2001- “It says this makes you smaller…” “it says a lot of incorrect things..”) http://web.archive.org/web/200107112...+the+Wee&type= (Out of Timeline comments) (Sept 2002 - Shrink was previously limited to Dungeon zones, this patch removed it. There would be evidence if Bards were the only class who could shrink in the open world.) http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20020926.html (2003) https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thec...p=11981#p11981 (2003- No mention of shrink) https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thec...p=12119#p12119 (2003- “wish it was group shrink”) https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thec...p=11985#p11985 (2004- “Needs shrink component”) https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...tml?spell=1752 Some final thoughts: This is probably a 'bug' due to how hard it is to prove that something Doesn't exist when the files say they do. Bards were pretty much spaghetti code on Live, so there's plenty of undocumented issues (graphics/T-posing with illusions, Bard buff stacking, bard clickies, etc). I've tried to provide sources where omissions of the shrink effect should be clear- if people were shrinking/unshrinking every 18 seconds or with every round of combat, I believe it would've been mentioned in the links. While some of these are past p99's timeline, it shows that a "shrink song" was something people wanted/talked about and would've solicited "Well we already have one in Nillipus'" response.
