...rogues pickpocket from a separate pool of cash and loot.  In a way I preferred the original method (and no, I never played a rogue past like level 5) cause it makes more sense.  99% of the time if you ask me whether to go with what makes sense or what's convenient for the player, I'll come down on the 'makes sense' side.

If it made sense that once people knew this rogue's had a really hard time finding groups then I guess that's ok. It was changed really early though, way before rogues got the dps and agro avoidance they had in Kunark and they weren't much use to a group anyway but the cash they could steal was seriously noticeable and when people were poor like most were in those early days, rogues just looked like a complete loss as a group mate. As you may have noticed, they didn't solo worth a crap which meant they were pretty well fucked.

As it was the damage was already done and it took quite a while for people to catch on that rogues couldn't steal money from their group anymore and they started to get groups again.

It's also terribly amusing to watch the nuEQ players bitch, moan, and complain about how it's hard to play with an untwinked (insert class here).

Pic from a friend in Project 1999 - see the realisation dawn on player Zarix that it doesn't hold your hand like nuEQ/WoW ...

The last line in that chat is what we've most lost since EQ1 imo. Later games the offers to help are very few and far between. If he'd done that in Wow all he'd get would be mocking derision. Oh, and called a noob.
