This is not a reason to justify Nilbog's decision but honestly back in 1999, for real for real, no necro or shaman used charm spell. In a way this decision makes the server more classic feeling. It's the same concept as knowing manastones will be removed. In real classic nobody knew they were going to be removed so the camp was always open. That would be impossible to recreate. But something like this is doable by simply not allowing it, lol..

By this logic alone we should not have item recharging.

Removing item recharging would be the best thing that could possibly happen on this server. Guilds are already starting to require the typical bull shit items "needed to be an effective raider" - which by the way are all basically unintended exploits. Make Norrath Great Again

What happened to "I'm making it classic damn it and I don't care if no one plays here as a result?" We want that Nilbog back [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Speak for yourself, please. Not all of us are no-lifer masochists who are absolutely obsessed with nostalgia. Some of us actually have real world obligations that consume our time and would rather this experience be enjoyable instead of striving to some ridiculous sense of "classic" which is literally impossible and will never be.

I still think NPC shamans and necros should get these charms in their spellbooks. Everyone should get to experience ultra-classic Mistmoore.

I am disappointed that they're cherrypicking classic things.

This isn't a disrespectful statement but it is the truth.

I've had conversations with people on this subject. When you give people an inch they'll take a mile so it's easy to see how players may try to take advantage of a bug report to make the game easier. There is however a blatant pattern in the bug report sections of threads where things that hinder players get reviewed/pushed through more quickly.

And yes I understand the staff are very busy with green I'm in no way trying to undermine their efforts. Nothing but Pras for the p99 staff coming from this poster.

Also Green (2019) will still have bugs and some non-classic things. Future Green servers will be much more complete in their classic mechanics, gameplay etc. This is a great thing for P99 and P99's future. We are lucky to be getting it.

Charm is a big deal on P99 because people have 20 years of EQ experience and learned to leverage it to a great extent and great gains.

You can't just add charm to necros and shamans on P99 on a whim as it may completely change / break the whatever imperfect class balance we've had since P99 exists and compromise the launch of Green.

But your version is not classic... which is the whole point of p1999
