So what changed on the Wizend loot table?

The patch stole Icy Greaves from my character. https://wiki.project1999.com/Icy_Greaves
That's kind of messed up. It's freaking 8 ac with +5 cold save... Was that really necessary? I'm not twinked, that was my one decent looking item. Now I'm stuck wearing a brown diaper. No grandfathering that item through? #Bullshit!

It was supposed to be.

The post which used to list the expected dates for the major changes was altered to remove the list. This was all originally supposed to happen closer to June, but apparently they decided to burn up the plans and just do what they want.

Seems normal for the p99 team :)

It was in response to tons of people being stuck home and pushing their characters up into max level and wanting to raid. To help people be less bored. Heavens forbid....

NOT Classic

kinda bummed i camped targin the rock for 15+ hours :( i just heard he isn't in but is pending update.

Wow was that announced months ago? I didn't see anything. I spent hours camping those items for multiple characters. It's kind of poor taste to remove items you mistakenly added. What's it matter if people spent hours camping them before or after the quests were added? They spent the time either way.

I feel for you but they have been doing stuff like this since launch. If you go through all the patches from day 1 you'll see they removed several out-of-era items without warning.

I do wonder what the reasoning behind this was other then taking pleasure out of making dozens of people waste hours of their time.

You play everquest.

It's 2020.

A few hours of your time lost is the least of your concerns. Get some perspective, and enjoy the game for what it is, which is sometimes repeating stuff. If this isn't fun to you, I suggest another game.
