Things changed/nerfed in 1999 not nerfed in Live.

[rerkuv]

I was wondering if we could make a definitive list of these changes.

It's hard to sift through all the emotional posts about people claiming it was or wasn't on live etc. Lots of debating and back and forth in threads make it hard to distinguish between a revert to classic live, or just a change in 1999.

Not exactly a nerf but it does severely hurt your ability to level...
Many of the kunark zones don't have safe spots on this server.
For example the area to the s and sw of the crater in burning wood, or outside the giant fort in burning wood.
The area outside the giant fort in frontier mountains.
The area outside karnors castle in dreadlands is safeish in places, but nothing like the nice clear border you had to pull stuff on live.
The eastern zone wall north of the overthere tunnel in skyfire.
The area close around the lake in loio.

As for a real nerf, the inability to drop coins.
(Yeah yeah, I should be happy to pay a tax and buy gems)

You could definitely drop coins in classic. I remember it being a well known prank to make large amounts in copper coins on a character with high strength and buffing him so he could barely move and dropping the coins outside a bank so when a newbie comes by and picks it up they just stand there confused.

Edit: Also pretty sure you could drop coins in Kunark, but could be mistaken.

u could drop coins in kunark. i spelled out we suck outside fear portal, and im 99% sure i had my epic.

I am 100% sure you could drop coins in classic, because back when I was a true noob and didn't know people on my classic server, I dropped coins in a secluded place in neriak and logged quickly over to my alt to transfer them.

Ahh, nostalgia.

I joined during Kunark, and my jackass self was definitely making full use of the minor-illusion-as-a-coin trick in arenas.

Also, Lord Shin Ree, the assbeef at orc 1 in EC. Drops nothing, eight (EIGHT) levels higher than everything around it, harm touches. Lovely. Again I didn't have to deal with him on my main or alts leveling in Kunark and Velious... he came later.

Minor niggles thus far really. It's otherwise been very close to the original in construction.

Pets eating majority exp if they out-damage the owner, nerf here that wasn't classic.

Variances on Raid mobs IIRC

[goshozal]

Pets ate xp by kunark, iirc. I think it was nerfed mid/late classic. The variance here is waaaaaaaay bigger than classic. That always struck me as odd.
