If anyone has been following along - there is a former EQ Dev streaming on Twitch. He has interviewed several old time EQ devs.
When asked about epics, it's clear there was very little oversight. Essentially each epic story line was created by one person, and then given to the programmers to build it. It doesn't seem anyone reviewed the difficulty across the spectrum of classes to balance it. Long story short, I don't get the impression any epics usefulness or power is weighted against it's difficulty. I fully believe we could have just as easily ended up with a mage epic as common as the rogue or cleric if it had been designed by one of those folks. It just so happens the person who designed the mage epic quest line had a much higher bar for what constitutes epic. | ||

With the removal of the fire staff, the earth staff may drop slightly more often.

Gnomish Greetings!
I see this is removed to resolved issues and we had a patch today. Does this mean the drop rate has been increased to 30% as our research has uncovered? I did not see that note in the implementation notes. Thank ye kindly!

@gwideon
I guess that depends on when this thread was moved to Resolved Issues. I'm guessing it was with the patch as a result of Telin's note above, which I don't feel address or resolves this problem in any way. Especially when he says "may" and "slightly". I'm basically reading that nothing changed to address the issue at hand. | ||
