Indifferent decaying skeleton - PoP Era Al'Kabor in Innothule Swamp
[Mon Feb 25 22:21:14 2013] a decaying skeleton regards you indifferently -- You could probably win this fight. [Mon Feb 25 22:21:19 2013] fungus man tracker scowls at you, ready to attack -- You could probably win this fight. [Mon Feb 25 22:21:26 2013] a froglok fisherman glowers at you dubiously -- You could probably win this fight.

Decaying skeletons does not attack unprovoked in Greater Feydark. But they support other skeletons in battle. http://web.archive.org/web/200012060...=show&BID=1657 I think this is plausible: Indifferent (w/ Social Aggro)* Innothule Swamp North Qeynos Qeynos Hills Toxxulia Forest Everfrost Greater Faydark West Freeport East Freeport Misty Thicket Northern Ro East Commonlands KOS** Field of Bone Nektulos Forest *I'm unsure about Feerrott. I would lean toward indifferent because it is similar to Innothule Swamp. **Decaying skeletons above level 1-2, such as those found in Steamfont, are not related and should remain KoS.

While it's only my "memory" I played on release a dark elf and distinctly remember decaying skeletons being non kos. Man the game was so much fun back then.

Oddly enough I do remember them being KOS. No proof, though.
Tangentially related: black wolves in Greater Faydark should be threatening to all but druids and rangers. I remember being attacked constantly on my HE cleric by these guys in the beginning, but they weren't totally KOS like orc pawns. No faction changes even if I killed a bunch of them. When I played a ranger briefly, I was amazed to find they liked me. http://web.archive.org/web/200005031...show&BID=78527 Quote:

FWIW, I also recall decaying skeletons being non-kos as a young dark elf at release in 1999.
Actually, this bug was the most striking negative aspect of my first impression of p99 when I started on the server. Of course, it is a minor concern, but it irked me that something I felt to be so fundamental to the initial eq experience was bugged. I spent so much time derping around nektulos as a 10 year old that those little guys left a lasting impression. I even remember pondering explanations as to why the two skeleton types behaved differently. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

I also remember being surprised in 1999 when a normal skeleton attacked and killed me in nek forest, because I was used to running right by decaying skeletons which would not attack me. I think that the agro range could have just been very small on them.
