Anyone got an old STOCK database?
 

No, I am not attempting to open the long-dead can of worms of "everyone wants a CLASSIC database, no one wants to do the work." I am just asking if there are any repositories of old PEQ databases, completely AS-IS out of the box, with all their era inconsistencies or whatever complaints you may have with them. I just want to experiment with older DB's and see how different they really were.

So the big issue is they have swapped from the older method of building the servers to the newer method. I'm sure you will be able to find an Old DB but the issue is if the server will actually run or not. Another problem is all of the DB stuff needs to line up with how the game is built or it just won't run correctly. Honest it would be an easier task to just take the current DB and start removing all the newer features and stuff.

Thanks, I saw this firsthand today as I found an old Axclassic repack or whatever it's called, and started tinkering with it. The old maps don't even use the same format (using .path instead of .nav files) and many of the tables were different.

It's definitely easier to just tweak what's there now. Getting NPC's to the old higher HP values is kind of a pain, but some good old-fashioned linear regression in Excel gets reasonably close.
