When should we expect these things to be addressed? Oh, right, they won't be, because the devs just cherry pick the things they want to be "classic" at this point and don't really give a fuck about accuracy. Thanks for all of your hard work!

The amount of entitlement and belligerance in your post is remniscent of players back in classic. Thanks for contributing to the nostalgia. Perhaps consider organizing a protest sit-in at the Freeport gates.

A bunch of bullshit

You're a perfect example of why non-classic changes are necessary.

You come here to a classic server with the expectation of all past exploitable things being abusable, otherwise it's not legitimized in your mind. You fail to realize that it's not classic to begin with if these things people barely knew about started getting widespread usage, they no longer become classic. Many of these things were changed back then immediately upon developer realizations, for good reason.

To repeat something I said in Discord and to address one item in your list, NToV dragons were never solo pulled to the zone in in Classic with the consistency and precision that we started to see here. People raided NToV like a normal raid zone. A change was needed to return that to be the case. These mobs were rooted in Luclin because it was always intended by the developers that they be fought in or near their lairs.

We will continue to make changes as we feel necessary to restore a classic atmosphere and difficulty, including non-classic changes to meet those goals. To not do so otherwise would result in a server far detrimental to the health of the community as a whole.

I will not be commenting on this again.

Rogean, if it wasn't for you and the team, I wouldn't have the ability to play P1999 and for that, I can't be more thankful. EQ, in this form is the best MMO ever released. It's difficult, its unforgiving and it requires thought and attention at all times. Failure has ramifications.

No matter what I decide to do now, I just want you to know that.

This is exactly what needs to happen with Soulfire. It has been abused enough! It was never widespread and rampantly used on live like it is here on p99! A change MUST be made! These weapons were meant to be held only by the holiest of knights, a noble Paladin!
