Items with worn effects (i.e. Regeneration/Flowing Thought)

Exactly, it was a race to do it first, and its been done.

'was' being past tense.

Yet, I think the BoTB situation is completely analogous. At the very least, it's a strong precedent for dynamic naming on P99. If nothing else, it indicates that here there is a preference to reset the awarded names that were "won" by player achievement.

Player's name != item name...not even close, I don't know how you see that equivalency. An item name's scope stretches across all servers, while a players name is distinct to it's server.

Higher tier BotB titles were unique across all servers, yet they've been reproduced here.

Player naming and item naming are analogous in this situation. Both are unique awards granted in response to player achievements and both existed uniquely across all the servers. The BotB titles already exist on P99, and they have been given to individuals who did not win them back on live EQ. Thus, it is just as acceptable that the mask of Bentos be renamed.

If the goal is recreate classic EQ as it was, and not as it would be today, then keeping the item names established the first time through I feel would be important. Everything on p99 should reflect what everquest was when it was new, this includes item names.

Right, and I agree with you. When it was new, the names were dynamically changed to an extent. Like Faceguard of Bentos the Hero. Bentos was a bard (player) in Triton from Povar.

So.. when it was new, the name was dynamic. Just getting some opinions here.

Saw that Narandi loot and it reminded me..

Should it be Faceguard of Bentos the Hero? Or Faceguard of ____ the Hero, the first player to complete the ring war on p99?

Should Vulak loot be named as per soe dev/gm or should it be named from the dev/gm staff of p99?

These are the only instances that I can recall having character-specific naming schema.

Nilbog's Axe of Slaughter eh. Just saying! :P

IM kinda partial to the player name and the GM/staff name.

I actually remember when this happend. Was kind of a big deal.

I like the idea of the Faceguard being the first player.... The Vulak weapons.... nooo thanks!. Alovia's Robe of Darkness... ewwww

lol

But I agree with the others. The fact that the items are dynamic and player controlled gives it a bit of pride.

As for the GM/dev items.... we gotta have our fun to =P

I agree/disagree with you Kenzar. I get your point. But since P99 is a completly different WORLD should be reason enough to do this here. Just like if Velious was launching on live for the first time, it would not have a name. So launching here for the first time it should not either..... gives more of a "classic feel" than doing something that was done 12 years ago.

Leaning in favor of providing a unique P99 naming system, at least for the faceguard, is the fact that the first faceguards were named "Narandi's Faceguard" and later changed to "Faceguard of Bentos the Hero" to recognize the first person to achieve the 10th ring. Following the same series of events, the first one dropped on P99 or Red should be Narandi's Faceguard and then changed to reflect the first person to achieve the 10th Ring.

That was my one worry reading these posts lol.

"Turdburglers Faceguard" just doesn't have a nice ring to it.
