Citizens of Froststone Faction not increasing
 

Description: .
Killing opposing mobs does not give you any 'Citizens of Froststone' faction increases.

Relevant NPCs:
Any Ry'Gorr Orc in Crystal Caverns zone.

Steps to reproduce bug:
Kill a Ry'Gorr Orc in Crystal Caverns

Expected behavior:
Your Faction with Citizens of Froststone has increased --- not working
Your Faction with RyGorr Clan Snow Orcs has Decreased --- working

Evidence/Research:

This is (sadly) working properly. The Citizens of Froststone faction was not raised by killing mobs until the Luclin era. The link you have to Allakhazam references that period, but if you go back and look at Allakhazam comments and old EQ sites (eg. using the Wayback Machine) you'll see that during the Velious era the only way to raise Froststone faction was to repeat the part of that one quest (the book turn-in in the Spirit of Garzicor quest IIRC).

Personally I do hope that someday when the devs implement custom content on Blue they will fix this, as otherwise the entire city is only relevant to a very small percentage of players ... but that's just a personal dream.

Well that is a shame. Seems to me that it's an obvious bug, that just didn't happen to get fixed by Verant until Luclin.

/nod That's what Project 1999 is all about though: Everquest the way it was before Luclin (worts and all).

But again, there is a (small) hope that someday (years from now) the devs will fix this on Blue (only) as part of their custom content.
