Take a look at this and it will give you an idea of the mentallity people had of the game back then, remember this is a "profesional player guide" which was sold back in the day.

Perhaps? I was under the impression that it was like a stradegy guide in a way.

err yeah it is a strategy guide. I know derrick has one as well, a lot of the things in the book are off though, stupid thinks like "Create food is targetable"

I think derrick has this uploaded in a pdf somewhere

Create food used to be targettable. :wink:

Here is the patch note surrounding that issue.
January 19th, 1999
Create food now creates the food in the backpack. A wider range of food can be created as well.
It is obvious the guide wasn't written by a PVP'er, and a few things are incorrect. There are a lot of things in there that are pretty accurate to that specific time period. This was obvioulsy after t2a, but a little before insta hit when it was written.

Hm okay, I actually have a list of things I wrote down that are different from that handbook to this shard and I read them to the IRC but everyone dismissed them as never happening. Probably worth taking a look at that list again then I suppose!
