Loot Code?

[Intricus]

After a couple of experiences with soloing mobs for coins/loot, I am somewhat convinced they have implemented a loot code of some sort on PJ'99....A code that keeps players from 'making too much plat', maybe in an attempt to discourage twinking.

I solo 95% of the time when I play Project 99, which is another thing that was frowned upon in classic EQ, and maybe another reason for them to impliment a loot code for solo players. A few days ago I was fighting spiders between Nro and the commons to loot silks to make some cash...silks were dropping at a somewhat normal rate, but after about an hour or so, NONE. And i'm talking for about 20-30 straight kills....Last night I go to Lavastorm thinking i'll kill some yard trash mobs near the Nektulous enterance, beacuse they often drop low-end gems and jewelry you can fetch 5gp-1pp for from vendors. Was great for the first hour or so I was killing...getting a steady flow of stuff to sell off and make good money. However, after awhile, no gem/jewelry drops whatsoever, and only getting copper/silver coin. Today im fighting Dervs in nro, and for the first hour was getting lots of bronze weps, some gems, and gold drops....For the last4 hours i've been here i havent seen a single bronze wep, gem, jewelry peice, and I am hardly even getting gold drops! Instead i'm getting maybe 2-3 silver and some copper.


......Yea, I smell somethin' fishy here.....
