It's because of this. Used to be rechargeable. So you could equip toons with these and if you spam 6 charges its 900 dmg instantly per toon spamming it.

I was speaking to why life tap was originally un resistible in the game on live.

This is probably not a huge nerf to most people, but it's something I am curious about.

Does anyone know why CB belts are nerfed? Was there some type of gimmick I didn't know about? Because even DF belts, which don't seem to be nerfed.... aren't super powerful or sought after.

Also I remember a time period on Green where they nerfed the AC drops in OOT or something? If I recall it felt pretty dramatic at the time.

I'm also not sure, but I'm assuming that they nerfed Magician summoned weapons at some point because I can remember a time period where EVERYONE was using them on their pets / charmed pets, and now I never see them. That may have just been a timeline update / green being new thing though.

iirc they nerfed most all quest XP when green timeline was nearing Kunark launch because people were corpsing/banking a shit ton of like Gnoll scrolls or some shit and were gonna level the 1st lvl 60 via them and then they never looked back

They were nerfed well before that because their XP values were apparently proven to not be classic.

Red Wood Wands. Check the #1 DPS during Vanilla link in my signature to see what I mean. Since nerf, it can never be done again. I will forever be #1 DPS in Vanilla. yay.

1H blunt to 2H and nerfing the DPS at the same time.

Is the deal with daybreak that they cant deviate at all from "classic" EQ, even QoL stuff? The old talk about custom content is long gone I guess, but some tweaks would at least entice some old players back, maybe?

I believe Rog is under NDA for this, but I believe the agreement is something like, "Do not open any more servers, do not allow a cashflow stream to be generated, or we will serve a C&D"

The P99 Agreement was posted, and it explicitly says that everything must be released as it was.

In addition: Daybreak drafted an agreement with ALL EqEmu operators after the whole THJ debacle,

7. All EQEmulator gameplay must remain exactly the same as the original EverQuest game. You shall not add, alter, or introduce any scripts, plug-ins, artwork, maps, assets, or other materials that change, extend, or replace the original EverQuest gameplay experiences, rules, mechanics, character traits, artwork, or strategies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are permitted to make minor changes or additions to add custom content (e.g., a new NPC, a new quest, a holiday event, etc.) provided that (i) you do not materially alter the difficulty of the game or fundamental gameplay mechanics, and (ii) by adding such custom content you agree to enforce a lower player cap as specified in Section 9, below.

9. Each EQEmulator game shall be operated as a single server with a population cap, such that the number of concurrent users playing on the server at any given time shall not exceed eight hundred (800); provided, however, in the event you add custom content in accordance with section 7, above, the enforced player cap shall be four hundred (400).

Minus the player cap portion, I think it's the same thing that Rogean agreed to.
