How about adding a cash payment to all quest turn ins? The bigger the reward, the larger the cash payment required to do the turn in. Nothing else has to change so you can still call it classic, the only difference would be you have to give up some cash to finish the quest. Modifying the frequency and amount of coin drops from mobs would help with inflation, too. There's a lot of mobs that shouldn't drop coin at all like animals and low level undeads like skels and zombies that shouldn't be carrying around money in the first place because it's useless to them.

I think some of you may be having trouble coming to terms with what classic means, and the aim of p99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

so true.

there are problems but nothin that isnt "classicly possible" obviously people didnt have over 1 mil plat in kunark live but thats not to say they couldnt. people on p99 are 100x more hardcore than people in classic, we have the knowledge and technology to do things we could (how many 1999 computers could handle a bard kiting all of the overthere) not back then

obviously we all want a 100% classic experience but its impossible and too demanding on our devs who have and continue to go above and beyond hat they start deleting plat and forcin raid encounters to onlu have like 40 people max just because people didnt raid wih 100+ on live even whwn 2 vuilds are there.

we cant or shouldnt force people to play a certain way. if a guild has 75 people that want to raid hey should be able to. if someone puts in the time to farm 1mil plat they should be allowed to keep it. yes there have been issies of item/plat duping but im almst positive when discovered the gms delete it.

As soon as you make major deviations from what live offered to what we have here... you're going to run into dozens of forum trolls with their simple two word defense.

P99 donations for pixels? I can see a lawsuit.

P99 casino bot in EC? A true platsink if bets placed are destroyed afterwards and not lootable [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ...problem? We didn't have that on live, but we didn't have this economy situation on live either (ye olde "Velious was released by now on live" argument).

Outlaw casinos (classic) and make people play through a casino NPC... and you'll maybe prevent inflation, but you certainly won't see much of a decrease in plat floating around.

Perhaps people would be less inclined to find alternative plat sources if MQs were banned, but then again that would upset certain guilds and also isn't classic.
