The Qeynos Banker faction change.
Didn't occur until Luclin/Post-Luclin. First only Dun and Eracon Krengon were put on "Banker" faction and not until 2003. Eventually, the Qeynos bankers (Copperholds)... and way later, all bankers were moved from this faction to Beta Neutral.
SOE's dumbing down of certain factions didn't start in our classic P99 eras. Dun in 2001 http://web.archive.org/web/200104230....shtml?id=2845 Dun in 2003 on Bankers faction http://web.archive.org/web/200309141....shtml?id=2845 Eracon 2001 http://web.archive.org/web/200104230....shtml?id=2846 | ||

Some more to read:
May 2002 bankers and barbarians were all indifferent: http://162.233.212.180/httrack/html/...ml?faction=184 October 2000 "when you turn in the wanted poster at the bank you get an increase in "banker" faction" http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=749

Just turned in the poster to Eracon and got -CoalitionofTradefolkIll, -HalloftheEbonMask, -CircleofUnseenHands, +ShamenofJustic, +MerchantsofHalas. 3 Negatives 2 Positives. The faction hit should only be +Banker according to that.
Also now that I'm checking further Dun, Eracon the bankers AND all of the merchants in South Qeynos are now on same (different from before and from North Qeynos Merchants of Qeynos.) Are they on Coalition of Tradefolk now? | ||

Thanks for quick responses - you're the man.
The second hand in for Jinkus you mean? The first one (to get the poster) is positive Wolves of the North, Shamen of Justice, Steel Warriors, Merchants of Halas, Negative Order of White Rose (Halas Rogues). I'm guessing you mean the return to Halas for the conclusion, though. I missed that 2000 post - so the faction was in the database then, at least from this poster turn in (if fixed.) The question is was it implemented/anyone actually on it? There's already one report of a teir'dal on our server http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...25&postcount=1 who is SCOWLING to all of these guys now - not indifferent. Also, it isn't limited to these 4 NPCs... when I song them from amiably to warmly so too do most of the South Qeynos merchant go from Amiable to Warmly. I think that the majority of the non-guild merchants here are still supposed to be on Merchants of Qeynos - were they tossed onto Banker as well here? Fish and his barmaid are still on Merchants of Qeynos. McNeal in the back is on a different faction from any of them as well. There really does seem to be some broken faction here from the last patch. Hans and Menkes are still on the same faction (QeynosCitizen.) As for the first post I didn't consider it to be a good source. By even early '02 there were already many factions in the works - one post in that thread even states that killing gnolls raised Qeynos Citizen - which was always an obscure, difficult faction to raise and only had those two NPCs on it (there MIGHT have been one other one I'm forgetting.) EDIT: Oh yes Marlin Bizmite is also a Qeynos Citizen - and correctly so here as well. | ||

Oh yes and Edvard Tommels, of course. He is - correctly - on the same Qeynos Citizen faction as well; Ton Firepride is correctly on Corrupt Guards of Qeynos.
Investigator seems to be on a Antonius Bayle along with Donally Stultz which is spot on, as well! Glad to see these quests here. | ||

Whew, ok I went around singing faction to figure out who all was affected by this patch. We can continue to research and see if Dun, Eracon Klengan and the Copperholds are supposed to be on Banker right now however I am fairly certain that changing all of these other merchants to Banker was unintentional.
These are the folks that were previously on Merchants of Qeynos that should definitely be reverted back: Byjan Timbokker Iala Lenard Wrin Liltin Fellesha Varshen Raheim Varshen Danon Fletcher Nesiff Tallaherd Stan Cloven Mar Sedder Rane Sedder Liln Sedder Fhara Semhart Tasya Huntlan Sissy Huntlan Earron Huntlan Tomas Zelnik Nug Rellash Bobbin Page Ghul Rustem Captain Rohand Heidi Grainsifter Voleen Tassen Karn Tassen Barthal Moran Smith Gahna Salbeen Solani Dayadil Bassanio Weekin Lanhern Firepride Riley Shplots Rucio Divella Rabley Trumend <--- Sells provisions in the Steel Warriors guildhall. Could be returned to Merchants of Qeynos or put on Steel Warriors - not sure. Fesse Bontex <--- He was on Merchants of Qeynos, is now on the new faction but probably shouldn't be on either. He resides in the Knights of Thunder guild and sells Paladin spells, he should be on Knights of Thunder faction like (almost) all of the other merchants there. Oriyame Nelafre <--- She's also in the Knights of Thunder guildhall, also a spell vendor for the pallies but is on QeynosCitizen - needs to be moved to Knights of Thunder as well. | ||

Ah... not sure how that happened. If you do the same query for the Copperholds, Dun and Eracon Klengon you'll find they are on CitizensofQeynos now too. None of this should be though.
All NPCs on CitizensofQeynos need to be moved back to Merchants of Qeynos EXCEPT Fesse_Bontex should be on KnightsofThunder Rabley_Trumend should be on SteelWarriors Oriyame_Nelafre moved from QeynosCitizen to KnightsofThunder Following also need to be moved off of CitizensofQeynos - they were on MerchantsofQeynos prior to patch. Dun Eracon_Klengon Sorn_Copperhold Kendall_Copperhold Now, as far as who SHOULD be on Citizen goes we have the following South Qeynos- Hansl Bigroon Edvard Tommels Martin Bizmite Menkes Tabolet Qeynos Aqueducts- Beggar They are all already on QeynosCitizen. CitizensofQeynos seems to be a duplicate faction. You will see people saying that killing the beggar raised citizens of qeynos, and also see someone else saying within the same timeline it was QeynosCitizen. Both pages in that timeline will say that Menkes Tabolet's quests raises that faction. Here on P99 he gives QeynosCitizen faction hits for his quests, and all of the proper NPCs are already on QeynosCitizen (except for Oriyame_Nelafre who belongs on KnightsofThunder. So "Citizens of Qeynos" should even exist here. | ||
