How common were wishes in AD&D1?

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Why restrict wishes? (and just 'cause I haven't seen a link to it in a while and some folks who haven't seen it will enjoy it)

I give you: The Disgusting Characters. Enjoy.

I never understood the whole thing with twisitng wishes into someting bad for the players, wether as a player or as a DM.

I think the original intention of "twisting wishes" was fun. Whether the outcome was bad for the players or not was secondary. If twisting wishes gets taken to a point where it's not about fun anymore, than it's time to back off.
