Or they would have turned the quests back on now that people already Hit 60

It's obvious they really only care about a minority of the players. This is not classic and it's not good for the lower level economy or the people who actually want to play the game properly.

But as you can tell by the lack of any kind of response they don't care and really don't want to know what anybody else thinks 😂
"Classic" in P99 ONLY is relevant if it makes the game less fun, or takes away some advantage the player has. They throw that shit out the window the second it provides the player some non HarD CorE OnlY K!? tactic.

No "issue" was caused. No "exploit" was found. Everything was "working as intended." You're sad they took out quests - the answer isn't to remove a few perfectly working, perfectly classic quests. People keep using these words, but it's interesting how no one has pointed out what the "issue" or "exploit" is and with which quest.

It's pretty simple folks:

Quest exp = classic

Yellow text server firsts = non-classic

Why end something classic to supposedly protect something non-classic?
If the Dev response is "We don't want people leveling using quests" is itself 100% non-classic.

I would bet the vast majority people on this server have gained entire levels on quest exp at some point.

Does any of these exp quests make you think "classic" when you hear them?
  • Crushbone belts and pads quest
  • Bone chips quests
  • Lightstone + greater lightstone quests
  • DF belt quests
  • Gnoll fang quest
  • Tesc mas scroll quest
  • Warrens kobold molar quests
  • Dolvarg teeth quest
  • Corrupt guard bracer quest
  • I am probably missing some

What's next?

Sure it’s non classic. But so is someone like yourself having a ton of accounts with hundreds of alts to use it to go from 50-60 on day one. If you had to pay a monthly subscription for all those accounts then I would say leave the quest XP as is, but you don’t, they’re free so you can have as many as you want and enable the situation you created.

classic didn't have nerds doing stuff like that, it wasn't even feasible

you are doing something which only 5 to 10 people out of 1000+ do, do you think it is normal behavior?
