people cared enough to bring up the compass.... don't doubt the nerds of P99.

Compass had it coming. It was all up in your face.

You're kidding, right? Batphone is not only classic, it's the very definition of it.

Indeed. Batphones are ancient. It's just that their technology has improved a bit. I remember one of the deciding factors of my choice of job back in 2000 was that it was within walking distance of my house (2 miles), so I could drive home really quick for EQ when I got the call.

Besides, that's something outside of the game, and beyond the Devs.

I'm sure some people were using Roger Wilco before GameSpy bought it, but I didn't know any.

When is someone going to find proof that training wasn't allowed in Veeshan's Peak?

"No CSR" did not mean training was allowed, just meant if your corpse wasn't recoverable GM's weren't going to assist you.

Has this been spoken about before on the forums?

Yeah I'd rather have VP be regarded as a real zone with like.. rules than focus on this trivial stuff.

How is this possible? Variance didn't exist.

Well, if /makeleader is "nerfed" to classicness before ranged weapons are "buffed" to actually have a delay before hit. Fuck you.

Server crashes were longed for, and farmed immediately no matter what time the server came back up. You better believe the top guilds had a batphone chain.

Bugs aside, I don't care about /makeleader and the ilk personally, but if you're going to go classic you can't start making exceptions or it's a slippery slide and you may as well give it up altogether. There's a reason p99 is the most popular server, and this is it.

I agree. /makeleader kills the realism of the game. In real life you can't just tell someone to take charge of a team of people. They have to walk away and cease to be a cohesive group so that the new leader can bring them back together one by one.

....wait...??

There's a meta-game "NerfQuest", much like ForumQuest, being played here where people feast on everyone's tears when they can find something like /makeleader to nerf "to classic" when we have some incorrect interpretation of classic "no CSR" zones being perverted into "trains are okay" that isn't classic and are game-ruining for everyone but one guild.
