Shrink spell not classic?
 
Anybody know when this gets added in the timeline? Doesn't exist at Oggok or Grobb and while I'm body positive, the world doesn't accept me for who I am

July 1999.

I know it says that it's dungeon only, and I certainly remember it eventually ending up that way, but I very clearly remember using shrink in zones like butcherblock and rathe mountains. I remember thinking how funny it was when I'd shrink myself and then fight giant skels in rathe. Man I wish we had comprehensive information about classic..

I also remember shrink working outdoors for a while, Never really made sense to me why they wouldnt allow for it.

My guess is that it was first implemented as dungeon only, then changed for a period to be usable anywhere, then for some reason changed back to dungeon only. And yeah, there are plenty of outdoor zones that have certain enclosed structures where shrink would still be very useful for large races. Shrug..

Ah, something I can answer.

When shrink was added, it was any zone. There was an immediate explosion of tiny people running around Norrath. Pretty much EVERYONE was shrunk all the time.

The powers that be decided that was sillier than they liked so they changed it to indoors only.

Boo.

Nice so does that mean the same will happen here? Would love a period of time on green where there's dozens of tiny people running around Norrath, tho I do admit while the functionality would be nice, it is rather silly

People kept insisting it made you run faster.

That low to the ground camera angle!

I remember vividly in 1999-2000 people insisting shorter races ran faster. Then when side by side drag style races happened, they claimed lag was the culprit.

Loved it.

Sorry to rez this, but when is Shrink getting added? Like, how many months before it's out on teal/green? Just hit 19 and pretty bummed that it's not in game since I was planning on heading to Guk once I got it.
