Items with #charges in p1999

[rittmeister]

hi guys!
I'm just wondering how P1999 handles items that have a certain amount of charges for a proc/effect.
I always hated this stupidity in original EQ, because even if the effect was crap it made me feel like I hat a used up inferior item after the charges were depleted, and I didn't even want to use them in the first place, because I was afraid I would just waste them when I needed them more later one.
Now, if it is the same as in the original, I know there's some (expensive) tricks to get your item re-charged, but I think the whole idea of these charges is stupid and one of the biggest BS ideas Verant ever had.

I'd love to see ways implemented to re-charge items officially for a sensible price.
We could have NPC merchants in Qeynos+Freeport+Cabilis to deal with that job.
The price should be high, but reasonable. Like items that have "bind affinity" charges should cost about 2-3 times the going rate that casters get paid for binding people,
and damage effects should of course also have a reasonable cost, as well as a limit like only be rechargeable once a week or so (depending on their power!).

What do you think about that?
PS. I'm just a lv 9 newb, and don't even have any such items yet. I just remembered how I hated this BS in original EQ, and I see no reason why P1999 can't fix it.

I may start adopting this policy. It is too late for me, but others may still be able to be saved.

The server and the people are awesome. But getting someone hooked to eq still does not seem like a nice thing to do. Especially if the person has been previously exposed to the addiction.

p99 does not want to fix it. give it time. by the time you get into recharge territory, you will prolly be in a guild that helps hook you up. it works as is. sandbox is sandbox. we fix things ourselves by figuring out player-based solutions.

yeah, baby

"Player based solutions" lol more like a bunch if glitch b*tches

I will do OP a favor and explain what everyone is talking about. There is a way to recharge items that are droppable on this server. It involves selling to vendors and buying back. Super glitchy, I don't like it. Feels like cheating. That having been said, I recharge my wc cap everytime I go do something dangerous in this game.
