Hum/Bar should start with candles
I did a few searches but found nothing on this one in bug reports.
All humans and barbarians should start with A Worn Candle (changed to Gloomingdeep Lantern in 2005 on live - it's the same item ID). I don't know for sure but Erudites probably get a candle too. Most of the proof I can find is from 2004. ------ http://everquest.allakhazam.com/foru...56968813163915 March 2004- Quote:

To the top for Green and night blindness

Second that. Blindness should be a thing on Green and Blue for that matter.
If it's a limitation of the Titanium client, Secrets (or Haynar?) can probably hack it in no time. | ||

Looking for better sources for this.

Earliest source I've found so far is January 2001. I can't say yet that they were in at launch.

Found a better one (it's listed on Everlore as Worn Candle):

Still looking for older stuff. | |||

Bingo.

The light source value should be quite weak, less than a fire beetle eye. This isn't launch but it's very close. I believe Erudites should start with these candles too (I saw a few posts about Erudites using them). | |||

That's some really good research. Like many other folks I could plainly remember the candles, but couldn't remember if they were in place from the start. You may have uncovered another issue as well: Does anyone actually start in Surefall on P99? I want to say the wife's (human) Druid started in Qeynos here on P99.

There is still enough doubt around this that I don't feel comfortable saying they were in at launch. Would appreciate first hand accounts of candles nearer release day.

I found this newsgroup post from May 31st, 1999 stating that new players got candles:
