Maybe you missed that part. Nobody is saying 46+ to do the turn-in is wrong.

We are saying THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE INVESTED TIME INTO THE CURRENT SYSTEM AND SAVED PLATINUM AND FARMED FOR MONTHS/YEARS TO EARN THEIR EPIC HAVE WASTED THEIR TIME BECAUSE THEIR ITEM WON'T BE ABLE TO BE EQUIPPED AFTER THIS CHANGE GOES LIVE.

THE ITEM RESTRICTION IS WHERE THE CORE ARGUMENT SHOULD BE. CHANGING TO 46+ DOES NOT AFFECT AS MUCH AS TAKING ITEMS AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO ALREADY EARNED THEM.

PEOPLE EARNED THEIR ITEMS AND THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE THEM AWAY.

Does that make sense now why people are upset? Yeesh nobody cares about the 46+ turn-in change. Its the item restriction that is causing hard-earned leveling twinks to LOSE THEIR ITEM THAT THEY PUT THE TIME IN FOR.

How are people not getting this?

A.) How mad are you?

B.) Nobody cares that you can't wield your epic for the 5 days its takes to get from 1-46 on a twinked toon.

C.) How are you not getting this?

So is doing an sql query of epics and when levels were achieved. Delete all epics attained before 46. And require min level of 46 to attain.

I can see epic with fungi, would make rapid solo exp. With no need to group.

Maybe they should require you to group in grouos of 3 or more to get exp? That would help force ppl to group more!

OK, Ill bite on this.

You seem to be implying this change doesn't affect a lot of people outside of an antisocial minority, you might even be implying most twinks are ill-gotten gains.

We both know that twinking is a major part of classic Everquest. Heck, its a major part of Everquest in general.

You know what forget it.... Just like in real life, a few criminals (RMTers) make all the rules and changes for the rest of us normal people to follow right??

"A few people ruin things for the majority all the time, deal with it"

Whatever. Not a progressive design decision. And the staffs total indifference that a few scumbags selling twink epics are going to ruin a classic experience for the entire community is harmful imo.

I thought of a new name for Project 1999, but afraid it will be construed as disrespecting staff so I will keep it to myself. Good day sir and thank you for all of the other good work, and for making this server possible in the first place.

So nobody should be able to dream and aspire to make an epic twink ever again ?

What reasoning do you have to crush the dreams and fun of having a twink of your own some day?

If your dream and aspiration is to have a level 1 with an epic equipped.....[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Your acting like they added a level requirement to every item in the game, you can still completely twink out your character.

Can anyone give me a reason, other than leveling faster, why not having an epic at low levels is game breaking? Help me understand this. Really.

I can see the red ganking noobs. But what else is there that makes having an epic at low levels important?

Personally, I think this game is way more fun when you use a Cracked Staff for 30 levels.

really glad this change is happening only because AzzartehAnon is ultra butthurt

Not classic, but good change.

Honestly, if you are really twinked, it shouldn't take that long to get to 46 anyways.

Its just for cool points so you can walk around and let people be like WHOA BRO, you have your epic already?!!?
