The Legacy Problem

I'm kind of confused as to what your point even is. ...

The only reason anyone would be against the list system is because it decreases their ability to hoard the legacy item.

Agreed even the TLDR part didn't make a point tho I hurt my neck cringing.

I did read your entire post and you touched on what would have been my solution to manastone slightly.

I would have made it Magic Lore No Drop and soul bound (unless there is a way to make it lore across corpses). I would’ve also put a level restriction to looting it. That way you could only get 1 manastone per character above the minimum level. You would need to level an army of characters to get lots of them.

As soon as they no longer drop, remove all of the custom features and restore to its original state.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuup..

That is a solid solution too.

Everyone knows everything about these legacy spawn camps, when they'll stop dropping, etc. You could make these items drop randomly throughout the game with every NPC .001% chance to drop it, with that chance going down each time that same npc is killed. Or (my pipe dream here) you could make the server achievement/content unlock, when specific NPCs are killed then it opens up the next patch/expansion/whatever. When the sleepers woken the server ends (make certain zones battleground zones flagged for pvp so people can stop others) and restarts! That's my pipedream, then people won't know how long a server will be around why bother hoarding manastones, solves the lack of content problem too and adds pvp in for those who want it at the high levels.

I'm pretty happy with the solutions and timeline put forward TBH though.

I'm happy with every decision the team has made. While it is a mild annoyance that there will be a lack of content until Kunark is out - mostly because it doesn't align to my personal schedule - I can live with it.

I've never had a manastone. I'll try to camp it or buy it. Not fussed if I miss out. I think you are probably overthinking it and making it no trade would kind of suck.

Ill use this as an opportunity to thank the dev team and volunteers. Great work all. Super impressed and thankful for this server. Very professional.

Yes. You're supposedly a scholarly man of letters, consult the known documentation where this data is compiled.

I've been on p99 since 2012 and my biggest regret is that I discovered this server after the (very brief) window to get those legacy items closed because it meant I would never be able to get a Guise for Plush. It's the one thing I've wanted the most my entire time here and I'll do anything to get one, including playing on a server I'm otherwise not that excited about

Personally don't really care much about any of the other legacy items, including Manastone, which at best would just be a cute toy to play with. Also I don't really care for how they would effect the economy on Blue, because that economy is already thrashed by being a decade old and full of vaults of plat hoarded by neckbeards that have run the server that whole time. If my time on Green nets me any of that additional stuff by happenstance sure, fine, but the only prize, the only reason I'm there day 1 with bells on is the promise that Plush will eventually get to be a dark elf. Nothing else matters
