'On a whim' is an unfair description of what modifying anything about charm would entail. Actually, the overwhelming majority of code changes are not simple. That is why game mechanics receive fewer modifications, and less often. There are still open bug reports dating back 10 years of unresolved issues because specific, necessary details haven't been found in research or testing. Does that mean they won't ever change? Nope.

Since I've already typed some paragraphs, I will elaborate. When there is a game mechanics issue, there are processes that need to be done prior to changing anything whatsoever. How does it currently function? How should it function? Is there evidence how it should function? At this point, someone needs to sign up to code for hours or days to achieve the goal. They construct a rough idea of interpolation of desired effects based on existing data. Testing, testing, testing. Do the test results align with the goal? Refine, retest, retest, etc. Do the results of the change(s) adhere to the original goal? If yes, respond to an existing bug thread and/or post a patch note. If no, scrap the idea, no one knows anything even happened, and the aforementioned perception of stability remains intact. Here are some details outlined by Torven in an eqemulator thread if anyone cares: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43370 | ||||

A post from Nilbog, the creator! Hail the creator!
Seriously though thanks for the hard work. We really appreciate your posts letting us know that we aren't just yelling at the clouds like we do in the real world. | ||

its almost unprecedented that the dev team directly engages the community about their work on the server.
very cool, thx for the update Nilbog. I hope that in the future we could have a more open/direct dialogue between players and staff, without it devolving into rants and flames about changes. that can stay in RnF! | ||
