I'm so confused
I tried to be clear that this all occurred during a six month period in 2023:

I do play on Green, and just got my epic a couple weeks ago ... but I got my staff awhile back (when Castle was still pretty dominant in Hate, though not as much as you say they are now; Diddly was getting more kills than they were I think).

Out of the last 40 magis:
Isn't relevant. You're welcome to dig up the stats on Magi kills on early 2023 (I'd honestly be curious to see them) ... but I can tell you for a fact (because I was up in Hate tracking most days) that the majority of staffs went to Castle/farmers.

Kingdom got 4 Magi during that period for instance (maybe 5? I think someone else might have tracked one ... it's been awhile?). We got zero staves. Obviously, RNG is a factor, guild priorities are a factor, etc. ... I'm not denying any of that.

But what I keep repeating ... and what no one seems to want to address ... is that no one (or virtually no one) was tracking Hate in '99-'01. 99% of players didn't have two accounts. Less than 10% of those that did had Rangers. At least 50% of those players didn't have internet connections that lasted that long ... and only some small percentage of those had any idea there even were safe spots in Hate.

Back in classic EQ there was no single human staring at their computer waiting for Magi to pop; it simply never happened. But it's the default here: it's how virtually every Mage on the entire server (excluding Castle ones who get it on quakes) get their epic.

Virtually every mage on the server is doing something 100% unclassic for their most important quest ... all I'm saying is, that contrasts sharply with the "Classic EverQuest" in the logo in the upper-left.
