Anybody share the sources used for these changes?
Poking around on wayback... I see evidence of elven dancers existing and drakes being casters no earlier than May and June of 2003. VP was modified on 5/14/03: Quote:

This change brought the named trash mobs with droppable loot (link): Quote:
If there's some other source being used I'd love to see it, seems totally possible that people on Allakhazam just never noticed or cared enough til after that patch. | |||||

I changed the lava drakes because I assumed it was a mistake on my part when I first made the zone. You guys have been fighting wizard class npcs that didn't cast spells :X Now it's possible that also is incorrect, and they were just pure warriors at some point. The logs from the eqmac server showed the spells they cast, and that is what I added. Additional information would be great, as well as feedback on the zone after these changes went in today. | |||

So if we're using EQMac as the resource here, I'm tempted to say EQMac had the 2003 changes included. While the 2003 change was made after release of Legacy of Ykesha (which wasn't included in EQMac), EQMac was released after LoY came out. The release date for EQMac that I can find is 6/23/03. I would venture a guess that the relatively minor changes to VP would have been developed, if not released, barely in time to make it onto Al'Kabor.
The information I based my post above off of is hard to properly date, as some of those changes might have happened quite a bit earlier and nobody noticed and/or cared enough prior to the 5/03 update. Quote:
P.S. Damn you for making me start reading Luclin quests. I was never a big fan of cats on the moon but I liked all the lore surrounding the remnants of the Combine Empire... | |||

As far as feedback on the changes as we have them, I think the impact is minimal. It's made kiting trash a bit harder because drakes stopping to cast splits them out of the pack, but kiting in big enough loops or in a linear fashion is the same as before. Racnars in picture room are of no consequence, and the new drakes around Nexona are easily avoided. If it is properly classic then I think it's a good change. I just kinda doubt that it's classic.

Would like to get to the bottom of this.

Daldaen, you couldn't gate out of VP with spells, correct? No gate, circle of combines, etc. Quote:
Would appreciate EQMac players that played in VP to chime in, please. | |||||
