Binding in TD

[pallius]

I saw a thread in the archive talking about binding in TD being nerfed 4 days in to the release of Kunark. I just need to call bs on that.

I started with Kunark (bought the Kunark CD at the store). I leveled a wiz to 52. Then changed servers to level a mage to like 50 something and then bound my mage at the TD firepots before Velious came out. Binding yourself there was nerfed sometime prior to Velious, but not 4 days after the release of Kunark.

There was definitely a nerf first to block binding melee at the firepots very early. And then that cause speculation that all binding would get nerfed and casters were still able to bind themselves for quite some time.

When luclin came out, this was a point of contention between me and my guild at the time because they wanted everyone bound in the Nexus and I did not want to give up my (then nerfed) bind. So by Luclin, it was definitely nerfed. Based on posts on allakhazam, it looks like it was definitely nerfed sometime before late August 2000.

I guess all I am saying, is there is no way I leveled 2 casters over 50 after the release of kunark and bound both of them at the firepots if this was actually nerfed 4 days into kunark.

I even had a death loop once where the dragon was at the firepots and killed me for 3 levels while I was afk camping raptors with my epic pet on Brell Serilis. This was during the time where people were all bitchy about mages being able to AFK camp with epic pets..
