Teenage me back on Live thought the height of fun was taking my Iksar SK around Oasis pulling all the Spectres with SoW and Circlet of Shadows and training all the newbies. Dang I was a d!ck back then.

There's a guy on Reddit who has a pretty funny post about all the shit he used to pull in the classic era. Including running the specs all the way out into the ocean, running back into the dunes over the dock and having them train onto the dock behind people.

He also had a crazy story about the fact that apparently NPCs could take faction hits at launch (which I don't remember being true, but I take his word for it) and how he created an NPC war in WFP.

What do you mean without getting caught?

We knew where every single train was going on VP wars v1. TMO knew where every train was. In V2 with the FE guys, it was even more obvious, as everyone had to many more keyed toons parked.

Literally half the fun of it was being so overtly in their face that it was you, again, only minutes after the last one.

Necrious was indeed pretty survivable though for a necro, he must have burned an ungodly amount of EE's. My greatest drawback was medding 300 mana for a revive every time. Necro mana regen gods gift in that place.

For training without getting caught, thats plane of fear and ntov mate. Only an idiot gets seen.
I'm referring to small time stuff outside VP with the not getting caught part. There was no reason to hide it in VP lol

It is easy to train w/o getting caught. I used to do it all the time which is why I never got banned on live. I had certain techniques and used some exploits on live where nobody could see me.

daybreak devs should take the live servers down for a year and then relaunch the original game like nothing ever happened

Even games industry does it. Isn’t Switch’s Pokémon Lets Go just a remake of Gameboy’s Yellow?
