sometime classic isn't fun...

[elwing]

I got hit by "Disease" in the warrens... having it stick for more than one hour and a half, I investigated it a bit... it should last 15minutes... after investigating a bit more it seems that the 15minutes duration was only added on 2003 on lucy...
I'm not sure whether the "unlimited" duration was classic or if it just comes from partial information on lucy, but either way, it is painful... specially since SK won't get cure disease for lots of time...

Rabies can be really unfun.

[Pyrion]

Classes that can cure disease:
Cleric
Shaman
Druid
Paladin
Necro
SK

Should be possible to find one of them or (even better) group with one. Just another way for good old EQ to promote class inter reliance.

Extend disease timer to at least 48 hours. Who gets over rabies after 30 minutes?!

I'm mostly liking that you investigated this yourself rather than creating a bug post with 0 evidence for the change and demanding it get fixed.

Name and shame, or PM the guys who did that and tell them what you really think of them. Less of this passive aggressive venting at everyone but nobody in particular lol.

well, I was typing a bug request, then investigated a bit more... to see that this was likely working as expected. seen how the warrens were crowded on live I'm a bit surprised to see no mention of this on zam... nor have I found any significant changes on the patch notes. unlimited duration disease is clearly OP and not wanted but there's no tidbit indicating if Disease was unlimited or not in 2001. so no reason to post a bug but I still had to share that :D

Just don't post a bug without overwhelming supporting evidence. Daldaen will get angry at you...but he'll do it in a way that you won't know about it.

Got rabies on my alt wiz in Oasis the other day. Rather than interact with others in the zone I got my HP down below the level of my worn HP gear and zoned clearing all buffs/debuffs.

But yeah classic mechanic talk to someone that can cure it.

Best post of the week right here. I literally laughed out loud.

I thought the ridiculous duration of disease was half the fun of going into the kurns basement. Not everybody is willing to slaughter those filthy disgusting burynai indiscriminately but I was.

[Vrez ZVyx]

I remember being a noob warrior on live and having rabies in the Qeynos Hills... ah, the memories... it was like a death sentence!

[ridiculousmoose]

Just get a fungi tunic and it doesn't matter ;)

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

lol imo OP was not complaining but was confirming fact. p99 recreates the magic. and the insane pita.

If you have played on this server (or on live back in the day) and not had more than one night where you have gone, "OMG THIS GAME CAN DIE DIE DIE" you haven't had the genuine eq experience.

Rabies. God does that suck. It sucked so bad on live when you were a newb and weren't able to travel to get a cure. So you logged out. And then came back next night. And it was still there. KHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!

Priest guilds will cure your disease.

Priest guilds will cure your disease.

being a sk I'm afraid most priest guild will cure me in a too radical way...

beside, worshipping Bertoxxulous I feel like I shouldn't cure a disease...

[Swish]

If you're Bertox then you ARE a disease, you've ruined your own lands etc :p
