There is an interesting exchange that occurs in this thread, which is happening around may of 2001. I'm just copying and pasting the exchange since the thread is kinda a sprawling mess. Esentially someone brought up the case of a "super twink" such as someone with fungi tunic and jade maces. Both people in this exchange seem to be under the impression that the robe still has regen on it.

Actually there are quite a few people doing that. What happened in a lot
of cases is higher level people saw that they don't like their main
class/race and decided to remake as something else. I've seen a lot of
high level monks remake as iksar and give him all of their tradeable
equipment (makes for some impressive stuff), or remake their paladin
into ogre warrior, etc.
