The thing people might not realize is that the Chardok revamp was released in October 2001 ... just two months before Luclin (December 2001)! The ring, the SWC, and the revamped Chardok loot are all basically Luclin-era, on a server dedicated to Classic through Velious.

They existed for only two months on live (before everyone went to Luclin), but here they're high-end loot that's available forever: of course it feels unclassic! You would almost never see someone wearing a Sarnak Battle Shield on live, or see even two people interested in doing the Chardok quest at once, but here we have dozens rolling for Shady/Angry and the SBS is standard gear for several classes.

All that being said, I think the staff made the right call, because once the server hits this point in the timeline it needs more stuff to do. Revamped Chardok is a more interesting to kill in, folks have another reason to do Droga besides the essence earring, Shady/Angry are server events ... and none of the loot is so powerful that it really feels out of line.

Cecily, you’re like the forum’s human thorn—prickly, irritating, and nobody really knows why you stick around. You wield sarcasm like a blunt axe, swinging wildly and hitting everyone—including yourself. It’s impressive how you manage to sound both bitter and clueless at the same time, especially when you dismiss entire classes with jokes so lazy even trolls would roll their eyes.

You parade around acting like you’ve got the ultimate P99 wisdom, but half your “insights” are just recycled complaints wrapped in passive-aggression. It’s like you skipped the part where community means helping people, not just sniping at every newbie with the subtlety of a grenade launcher.

And let’s talk about your “sharp wit.” If that’s supposed to impress anyone, it’s doing the opposite. Your brand of humor is about as fresh as a month-old corpse in the Everfrost Peaks. Maybe instead of just tearing down, try building up once in a while—though I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.

Bottom line: you’re the forum equivalent of a ragequit—loud, disruptive, and ultimately just a reminder of why some people avoid the chat altogether.

is there an easy way to do this without copy pasting each post?

yeah, forums appear indexed pretty well now. ran names in this thread through it real quick, it seems pretty bias towards being nice now compared to my last experiment

i get what youre saying here but ill go ahead and let you know that no one taking this server seriously is open to the idea that eq was dogshit and needs to be improved upon
