Is OLD (pre 2006) NM Drops a possibility? (NON-RARE/EX) Read

Post by Apocalypse612 » Sun Mar 31, 2013 6:04 am

Hi,

Brutality here. I'm thinking the Classic server would be better for me to play in, but I'm not sure. Would it be a future possibility to have the OLD Notorious Monster drops from the 2006 and prior updates to Retail? Some examples. Leaping Lizzy --> Leaping Boots Drop.. Emperor Hairpin, Kraken Club from LoO .. Etc, etc. This was initially only removed and replaced by the rare/ex equivalents because of RmTers on Retail, but since this is private there will be none of that bullshit here. Is there a possibility for this, or any server, to have? Do any already have it? Am I simply having Pipe Dreams? :(

This sever is after all advertised as "1999 feel", and what would that be without this implemented as it was? :) I have no idea if this would require hours, days, weeks, or months of labor, but it's something that's really important to me.

Thank you!

It's possible but would require some customization work that may or may not break as Darkstar is updated.

Remember, the servers running now are *test* servers, a lot still doesn't work and exploits are plentiful. When we get to 1.0 then doing customizations like you're talking about would be worth the time and effort.

That's good enough for me. Long live DarkStar!
