Is there a list somewhere of non-classic changes? Eg, whirl til you hurl meganerf, manastone spawn rates, selos doesnt break root (was this just on Red?), item links, /gems, /note, item links, etc?

Pet window, UI, ivandyrs hoop, rez staff, AE limit, rooted dragons, faction wars, bard tash/ds stacking, double bolts

Lifetaps get resisted more. A ton of exp turn-in quests that were cheesable are nerfed (nuts, chips, scalps). Tons of unprovable ???-things, like the resist rates, NPC spellcasters having access to their entire spellbook, weapon proc rates.

The player base in 1999 wasn't a bunch of lawyerquesting angry nerds at level 10.

People on sub 100 ping bard kiting like it was always that way.

Have you read the newsgroups at all? Do you remember Whineplay? Lol.

Every other post is/was a "BRAD rEaD tHiS" class whine.

I know the Verant forums got a little spicy, and it was the first place I'd ever seen someone use the word "trolling" in the way we know it.

But in game? Players were much friendlier, no question. There's still some of that here on P99, but there's a culture of nastiness that never hit the servers I played on.

The internet in general is less friendly, that said.

Should we get a Wiki page going on this stuff? This is a lot.

Pet window isn't in green, btw

Magicite on red was the first person I'd seen overcharging for items and justifying it saying he was "brokering it for a friend" so if anyone wanted it they had to pay his broker cost...that's not a very classic way to trade, can we add it?

I always am dubious when I hear claims of "overcharging". If a player is charging more than others, then buy from someone else.

If they are the seller with the lowest price, it sounds like they are charging what the market will bear to me. Players who complain about overcharging, what do they charge when they are selling their phat loot?

Swish still salty that he was poor on Red and that I wouldn't lower my prices ;p
