Should just make ToV no CSR like VP was, and remove all the unclassic binds.

The countertraining skills will be improved immensely the weeks to follow such a change.

bump, not that classic mechanics actually matter on this server

I really don't think anyone should use arguments that it was classic because that really doesn't apply anymore. It's now about being fair and fun factor. If shit was classic bards would be incredibly broken and wizards could already port to EJ by now from anywhere.

How would it be unfair not to allow binding in dungeons like it was on classic. And fun would be actually raiding, clearing your way to a mob and using your class skills to do so. Whats fun about about turning up to a zoneline, getting coth to a trivial mob and gating out?

Wizards can port to EJ from anywhere, and Bards are very broken...

There was direct evidence that you couldn't bind in ToV posted by Ele at the front of this thread.

Nilbog says they are addressing "low hanging fruit", I can't imagine resetting the bind flag is much harder. Give people bound in these zones a month's warning, then reset their bind points to somewhere safe, maybe Arena entrance.

From what I think Sirken said, they don't have any way to mass reset bind points.

I think if they could, in WW right at the ToV click in would be the most logical reset location.

it's a sql database, nilbog could reset binds for everyone on the server with a single line if he wanted to

This is still slated to be changed. I have presented what needs to be modified, and now awaiting the best way to execute it.

Changing the yes/no for binds in zone? No problem.

Changing the binds for individual players? Quite a problem, bind information is stored in player profile blobs.

We'll fix it when we can.

edit: For those curious, check out character_.profile in an eqemu db.
