Will damage caps be removed?

Damage caps were not classic, will they be removed for the launch of Green server?

Also will Rod of Annihilation drop again?

Nothing mentioned about damage caps in the patch notes from what I can see, which would seem to imply that it's been that way since the beginning.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm sure we will have damage caps.

RoA will surely be dropping, but of course not in kunark.

Thats because they were not an EQ thing at all, they were added on P99, I think, because of twinking. Which is not likely to be an issue on Green

You think wrong. Damage caps existed in EQ, though I can't confirm P99's versions/timeline with my own memory. Calling out in oasis "you hit for X damage " was a big thing back then, signaling you had hit level 20 and get your damage cap changed.

Can confirm, damage caps existed on live/classic.

As someone who played specifically on Rallos Zek, I think I just got a case of surprise spicy diarrhea when I read someone post that there were no damage caps in classic.

Qft but I think they were wiggled around some.

How about the weapon damage max that applies to ROA currently that gimps it down to 40/40 is that classic?

Not sure what damage caps you're referring to, specifically, but there were def. melee damage caps on live. Two I know of for sure were:

19 or 20 dmg til level 10
29 dmg til level 20
