Game Mechanics: Lets Talks About Velious Binding Rules

[Ele]

Nov. 11, 2001 comment saying you could not bind in ToV @ PoM cubbie from the Locket of Escape page on Alla. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1163

Why the **** would you pay for this? Sure thats great you can bind yourself almost anywhere with it as a melee. BFD
The most convenient place for melees to bind is in a city so they have access to merchants and banks. Sure being bound at PoM would be great (except I'm sure ya can't anyway, as you can't bind in ToV, and I really doubt you can bind in POM itself either), but the freaking novelty would wear off after about five minutes.
Total gimpness to pay large sums of pp for this, or trade a fungi tunic or whatever. Gotta be one of the more idiotic things I've read.

I love Ele's ClassicQuest.

I checked PoM Alla page to see for a quote like that, didn't think to check on Locket page!

The guy is speculating tho "I'm sure you cant" and "I really doubt" - hardly anything thats actually followed up with factual experimentation in game by the fellow. According to Dald's bind rules PoM is not a city nor an indoor dungeon thusly binding should be fine like any other outdoor non-dungeon zone.

Plane of Fear for example....

Yea, your agenda is pretty obvious.

Did you read the quote ? He is speculating that since you cant bind in ToV then that goes for PoM as well ( since you get there from inside ToV). Its solely an assumption based on circumstantial evidence from the zone you enter the plane from from despite the fact the zones are nothing at all similar or even in the same plane of existence...

Its a very classic assumption to have - like anti-camp radius or NPCs stealing your corpse when you get to close ( aka get charmed )

Pretty overwhelming evidence ITT, great work daldaen.

The comment I posted, the guy speculates (incorrectly) as to binding in PoM, which you can and is easily provable during classic era.

He earlier states being bound at PoM would be great and then unequivocally states "as you can't bind in ToV."

Nice work here Daldaen, I'd have to call this pretty objectively conclusive.

Edit: Ele too, of course.

Our lives have changed since we spent two weeks bound outside of the Plane of Mischief - not the one in Greater Divide, but the one deep in north Temple of Veeshan.

talking ab where that specific entrance to the Plane is not their bind pts....as in they were bound in PoM and now adventuring outside it aka changed their bind from inside PoM to outside elsewhere in the game

revamp made it possible to zone to PoM from another location not in NTOV
