Question about old Mistmoore rumor

merkmerk73 · #1 05-17-2019, 02:25 PM

Was there ever any confirmation of the old rumor that the Maestro of Rancor model was actually the original Mayong Mistmoore model from the alpha/beta days when he spawned in the zone?

I love EQ lore, and now you've got me researching him.. here's some fun lore. I never knew he was only in game due to an event.. Seems super strange they have a zone named after him but he was never included in the beginning. Seems strange to have him in P99 too if he was just an event...

Thanks for the read, Jeff!

It would be cool if they included a version of Mayong to spawn in MM. The dagger he dropped would have been OP in the classic timeline, but would still be great for people adventuring there now.

Generic dark elf with red bathrobe.

There's a history of Mayong on p99 too.

Here's some breadcrumbs:

He was bit too derpy for that. He couldn't get out of the water and his model was so big you could stiil cast on him safely from land. Like killing Jaws with a BB gun while he sun tans at the beach.

All I know is that he drops a sweet ass dagger and never respawns again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I still believe it was a myth he's supposed to drop that. I also doubt he was ever killed in beta. Some people claim he only spawned and was killed in beta and dropped the dagger then. I call BS. There were only a tiny handful of high level characters by the end of beta. High level clerics were virtually unheard of. Tanks of any kind were incredibly rare 35+ Almost everyone was playing solo-friendly classes like druid, necro, mage, wizard.

@Jibartik that's the classic fullscreen UI which was available at launch, but there was also a screenshot UI where all the UI elements were hidden (as well as the god-awful tiny window UI some people inexplicably used). Iirc F11 cycled through them.
The Velious UI is really similar though it adds multiple chat windows and (I THINK) you could scale your buff/effects window.
