Now that I think about it, this server is locking when SoE probably saw its biggest player loss, as both WoW and EQ2 came out around that time.

Why no more crypt spectre?

That is almost a game ender for anyone wanting to PL their alts or friends fast if it's removed

- Rare and boss NPCs in Charasis can no longer be charmed.

I assume because people were selling so many PLs and possibly cutting back on the sales of XP pots from the store.
Yeah, I'm sure they got tired of dealing with petitions about Depressedfeet and copycats.

Oh wow. I know this is petty, and not that big of deal...However, that's another great reason why I'm just not putting time or energy into this game again. I really enjoyed living on the edge charming spectres in HS. I wasn't selling PLs, hell I wasn't even looting shit as even that was a waste of time to me.

It was just one part of the game that I enjoyed and motivated me to log in.

Wasn't nearly as bad as it is now though. People simply cannot separate the concept of krono from RL cash the way they could plat from RL cash. I just had an argument with a retard in general while auctioning a Rokyl's for 5 Krono because he can't grasp that it does not = $100 and that people pretty much refuse to buy/sell things for plat anymore that are worth more than the going price of 1 krono. I see that a lot. I explained it to one guy that freaked out when he saw my GEB's for 2 Krono one time and after explaining it he was cool and understood (look dude, someone buying this for 2 krono doesn't mean they went to DBG and paid $34 and then traded me that $34).

People are far far worse now, and it sucks. Kronos have destroyed elements of this game in incomprehensible ways that can never be fully articulated or understood.

Since all Krono originated from DBG at $18 + tax. What is your logic that Krono are not actually worth that much?

At some point someone bought it for that amount. Grey market sales aside.

Because you can't magically turn them into $18? Or even magically into $9? It takes several steps, two of them requiring risk and knowledge.

And many people dealing in Kronos have never bought a single one from DBG. They got them in trades, that adds another degree of separation, and yet so many people can't not see $$ when they look at a Krono, even though the simple fact of the matter is, for 95-98%, a Krono will never = $$, because they're never going to even try to sell one for real life moneys. I guess the reason so many people still can't separate the two, even knowing that they themselves will probably almost definitely never RMT them, is that it's $15 saved per Krono if they decide to stay subscribed.

Also looking at that patch lol wtf?
- NPC names are now automatically capitalized at the beginning of sentences. This applies to consider messages, aggro, death, and victory texts, all combat messages, and more.

They do get that plenty of old mobs are separated by an A vs an a or a capitalization ?

Gotta agree with you there. Changing such old content because of something so small is really sucky. They slowly remove all the unique/clever things from the game.

Lol I was reading those patch notes and the best augment in the game requires having kept shit like Quintessence of Elements. If I was playing my old chars on live still I'd be so glad I was a hoarder for so many years! Lol look at this augment Artisan's Prize It's 100 ac +80 heroic stats to everything and 100 attack, heal amount, spell damage etc. 80 heroic agility is like 10 aa ranks of combat agility (dodge). Modern eq be crazy.

So if you didn't keep your PoTime key (among other things) lol you get to do it again.

Krono sales are pretty paltry and definitely not worth the risk. You have to be pretty hard up for money if you think you're "making bank" doing this shit.

I don't get Morrow Morrow . 100% of kronos in circulation were bought, at one point for $18.

So whenever you trade for something with Kronos you consider yourself to be paying $18 per krono? Whenever you sell an item for a krono or more you consider yourself making $18?

There's a difference between buying an FBSS for 3 kronos and considering that to be $54 and having just traded some GEB's that you won in a camp for 3 Krono and then trading that 3 Krono for the FBSS and realizing you simply traded one item for another.

It's one simple big giant fact: you can't magically turn a Krono into $18 or even $9, it requires effort, risk, time. What's so hard to get about that? It's degrees of separation. There are lots of real world examples of things that are at one point bought for x amount of dollars but do not = x amount of dollars.

Edit: Also my point was that people that go crazy when they see items for sale for kronos because they are so outraged that people would pay $50-100+ for an item are idiots.

None if that matters though since the only way any single krono enters circulation is through a purchase from DBG at $18.

You're edit - those are he people who don't use 3rd party sites meams to acquire krono. They are the ones putting new krono into circulation

You forget that the people training/stealing named mobs are probably on a super fixed income (welfare or MAHBACK!Disability / unemployment) and any unreported income they can farm from their grease stained keyboards they will by god.

Zaide Zaide , I don't have much time to play this summer, so I'll log on when yer on to donate 3kish plat to help with port stones etc.
