Is there a list somewhere of non-classic changes? Eg, whirl til you hurl meganerf, manastone spawn rates, selos doesnt break root (was this just on Red?), item links, /gems, /note, item links, etc?

Lifetaps get resisted more. A ton of exp turn-in quests that were cheesable are nerfed (nuts, chips, scalps). Tons of unprovable ???-things, like the resist rates, NPC spellcasters having access to their entire spellbook, weapon proc rates.

The player base in 1999 wasn't a bunch of lawyerquesting angry nerds at level 10.

People on sub 100 ping bard kiting like it was always that way.

Have you read the newsgroups at all? Do you remember Whineplay? Lol.

Every other post is/was a "BRAD rEaD tHiS" class whine.

Surprisingly true. People often associate EQ as a game where your reputation matters, but some of the top guilds have featured extremely toxic notorious players well known for griefing and training people, and these guilds celebrated them as heroes who got them the top mobs by getting their hands dirty.

I'd probably blame the existence of RnF.

You can blame all the people supporting them tbh.

If toxic scum are abandoned, they are just a few people. It's the 80 people behind them that enable it.

Or everyone is actually greedy and toxic.

Think on it.

I know the Verant forums got a little spicy, and it was the first place I'd ever seen someone use the word "trolling" in the way we know it.

But in game? Players were much friendlier, no question. There's still some of that here on P99, but there's a culture of nastiness that never hit the servers I played on.

The internet in general is less friendly, that said.

Should we get a Wiki page going on this stuff? This is a lot.

Pet window isn't in green, btw

But it's very Blue-focused: people need to update it with all the Green stuff. To get the ball rolling I added a new section to the top for that stuff:
