i dunno about you guys, but personally i cannot wait for the otter music in cobalt scar!

When the question of new playable races came up after Velious, and folks were clamoring for cats or frogs (which would both come to pass), I SO wanted the otter folk of Cobalt Scar to be playable.

I wanted to hear that silly chitter every time I casted a spell as an otter shaman. Alas...

Oh how I envy you for your Velious innocence! You are in for amazing magic. I'm partially lucky: there's plenty of Velious I never got to. I never saw original PoM and I think the only raids I ever did were outdoor dragons and pieces of Kael. I did get a bucket hat (DWF custom helm).

I can't wait for that.

I wish I still had the screenshots of the following. Once I got a port to Lavastorm from a guildie female wood-elf druid. After we zoned in, she had the dwarven custom helm on her head, but it was turned 90 degrees. The big horn poking out forward and the small horn backwards. I laughed pretty hard because it looked so silly, and I was high as a kite.

WHY o WHY did I delete all those old screenshots!?

I remember all of those helmet bugs, they were freakin hilarious.

Thanks for replies so far.

I came across this bit of information which I never experienced nor noticed.

Most of the named mobs in this area will have their placeholders despawn after a certain amount of time (I think 6-8 hours) and the named mob will spawn in its place. The placeholders can be killed and force a spawn on the named guys.

6. Should Kael placeholder npcs despawn after a certain amount of time? Which ones, and how long should it take?

Adding 6 to the OP.

7. After the Statue of Rallos Zek is dead, how long should the Idol stay spawned? How long should the AOW stay spawned? What I'm asking is.. is it possible to kill Statue, then 5 days later have a Statue respawn up at the same time as an unkilled Idol/AoW.

I wish I could remember this. Why not hit up the EQMac forums? I am sure someone in Temerity could answer that question for you. I don't think that would have changed between Velious and early PoP.

No thanks. If their admins do not desire our server to be discussed there, then I won't violate that rule.

Additionally, the community has consistently asked how they could help content development. There are thousands of people that can go ask questions, do research, and get answers. It doesn't have to be me personally.

I figure if we do 99.999% of the work, people might be able to help out with the 1% by answering questions or doing research. :P

So far I've received good answers here, and my time was better spent implementing than researching.

Here's a little I found talking about a patch around 2002-02-14 on:

Previously, when the Statue of Rallos Zek was killed, the Avatar of War would spawn for around 45-60 minutes. If no one defeated him during that time, the AoW would despawn.
