I really believe people are over-exaggerating how negatively item loot will affect the server. It added quite a bit of fun to PVP when you could spend time working towards the goal of having a set of nodrop quest / obscure gear. Aside from the fact that you could bag your important pieces when you knew you would die, you could also pull off any +HP items to kill yourself as well. You just had to learn the system and adapt to it, as is the case with any set of rules. | |||

On the topic of Twinks
I'm from Tallon Zek. Aside from low levels running around with Fungi tunics during the Kunark era I never really saw to much 'twinking' but tons of OOR healers/buffers. I found classic EQ to be rather difficult in the manner of obtaining gear most people didn't seem to have an excess amount of gear to throw around on twinks. I recall leveling in MM classic from level 19-30 two times and I never once entered the Castle-MM with a group. I was a lightie we were highly unorganized when it came to dungeons, unlike the darkies (I guess). The first major twink I remember was during SoL when a PDM SK had sold his account and the new owner had de-leveled him all the way down to like 18. (He had the Seru BP 'shudders') After that a whole ordeal a chain of de-levels came into play. A few months later Sony had implemented the recommended level 'thing' on most items in the game. I can foresee some possible problems with twinks, from full planar level 50's de-leveling. But twinks are just one of those obstacles you have to hurdle over, once your past their level you don't have to deal with them anymore. I don't see why people are so worried about twinks. On the topic of Leader-boards By the time Leader-board came out clerics were shit out of luck as far as being able to land any nukes so, I didn't pay much attention to it. I recall most the top people on the Kill/Deaths ratio being like lvl 18 twinks. It was always like some level 18 twink with 300kills and 14 deaths who cares... My personal belief is that if someone was a highly skilled killer a leader-board wasn't going to tell you that. Though experience you learn to spam /who and watch out for these names...... Kendrick, Amuk, Mythd, Glen, Chestar, Alfrid, Wynch and so on. I think building a reputation is worth more than some silly kill/death ratio on a leader-board. Therefore, I don't believe leader-board is all that important. Just recently I played on p69 for a little bit, many of the people with many kills are low levels with OOR healers/buffers. Leader-boards just encourage more cheesy tactics. Like rogues who sit there and watch you finish soloing a mob then jump you when your at 11% hp. Having a lot of free kills doesn't indicate a good pvper but yet it gives the illusion that you are. PS: I hope bringing up some of those names brought many of you old school Tallons some fond memories. | ||

As far as stats from items, they remained the same as long as they didnt have rec/req levels, though having capped skills reduced defense and attack and such. | |||
