They should have "came to the conclusion" before release if they didn't want it...they know that EVERYTHING IS KNOWN so those "stupid easteregg" quests like the BFG are going to be widespread.

I reached all my goals, and I long for the neckbeard minimum wage times.. ahh such good times indeed. Real life isn't all its cracked up to be.
I would play a new MMORPG if they made one that wasn't trash. I tried WOW's latest expansion, the great new addition was farmville, LOL! FFXIV was disappointing. I think I'm becoming one of those cranky old neckbeards that won't be happy until EQ is remade exactly with new graphics.
I just got back onto P99 after many years of Netflix.
I rolled a rogue, am I ask fucked as we were back in the day?
You people still playing this shit? Or am I bound to play with randoms?

rogues are more valuable than ever raid wise
kinda tough to start one untwinked but rogue epics are so damn cheap that if you plug away for a bit you're going to be geared to the teeth before you know it
rogue epics are so cheap that they get given away to noobs sometimes. start chatting up some friendly high level people from the big guilds and maybe you'll get lucky. =p

Nilbog tends to be hardcore about making sure the game mechanics are classic. but this is 2015 and everyone has broadband internet / laptops that were supercomputers by 1999 standards / guides for every single encounter in the game / etc, which makes the game not feel very classic despite having classic mechanics.
there have been very few instances where Nilbog et al have implemented non-classic mechanics in an attempt to make the server feel more classic. the biggest example of a change like this is variance on the spawn timers of raid mobs. another example was how they nerfed the Fungus Covered Great Staff and binding in Timorous Deep so soon after launching Kunark -- i think TD binding got nerfed on P99 within a day or two of Kunark launch, whereas on live you had a much longer window than that. the difference being that back in 2000 when Kunark first launched, no one realized how OP firepot binding was or that it was going to be nerfed.
so classic mechanics /=/ classic feel

I just don't understand why disabling all mq epics would feel classic. People did that shit on classic.
Only took a year longer than planned. We talked about this back in Jan 2014 before I left the staff and they planned on changing it then. Wonder why it took so long. Kinda of pointless now.
