I played Blue pretty much at release and Classic at release

Mages had access to ALL of their pet spells in some way

The current state of mage pet spells is a Green/Teal anomaly
Blue was beta. Blue release was so far from classic. Why would you bring that up?

The critical issue with magicians and their research being fixed + pets added to vendors isn't one of how long it took to happen back in 1999, but what the trigger was for the devs to recognize the situation and fix it. The trigger was player knowledge being hammered into the game staff via ancient posting boards. So, one more time in basic English. Players recognized a BUG that was complained about to the devs who agreed it was a BUG and fixed it within 24 hours of noticing it. Hotfixed.

The problem with P1999's approach is one of saying "we're re creating a museum of perfect era 1999 everquest" and cherry picking which bugs and features to include or exclude, which also prompts a response of "player knowledge with this issue as a trigger will be ignored and be given a blanket 60+ days of suspended time because of reasons."

Folks that are unhappy have a valid right to be. The ball's been dropped. If you feel comfortable continuing to play on the flawed presentation, go for it.

But this already isn't that AT ALL... The second you put a bunch of 2019 people into, it's no longer classic by a long shot. Didn't have things like all these different chat windows, chat filters, an absence of that insanely space-hogging, andclunky UI, having to look at book fullscreen to med, etc etc - BUT THIS IS FINE AND GOOD because some things about classic were just absolute horse rubbish.

What is the purpose of Beta testing

To make the game better or worse?

How about the devs fix some shit like pathing literally not working in a single location and mobs warping through walls, ceilings, and even warping across land in open outdoor zones which ya know is actually game breaking for all players, instead of worrying about trivial matters like pet spells? People are posting the dumbest minutiae on the bug report forums, while large parts of the Everquest experience don't work at all here.

what widan said, no one can even use MM 35+ without wiping the entire zone with a 40 mob train

dying to a pathing mob warp when i was level 17 was cheeky, when it happens to me at level 47 it just undid 5 hours of work

MM was broken badly at release, plus all the necro NPCs had charm and the zone was absolutely deadly.

To everyone complaining: you're getting the most classic EQ launch experience ever made.

Also I no longer regret submitting those merchant rules to Nilbog, you guys are arseholes. I hope the devs don't patch for another six months.

Lastly, I play a level 20 bard, so I've already nerfed myself.
