How close is P99 to classic EQ?
 

Just curious, I can tell from face value it's relatively close.

My question is, numbers such as pet HP, pet damage, mob HP, mob damage, chance to hit, miss, etc.

How closely are these replicated? Was this something that could be found or did the devs have to give their best guesses?

I'd say it's as close to classic over anything else that exists out there.

Patches are still coming in that fine tunes the game to make it more classic.

Is monk FD / Sneak nerf classic?

Yes

no

Yes

yes and no...

fd was acting as a 100% aggro wipe, incorrect.

standing with sneak on allowed you to be "invisible" correct.

oh quit crying

servers been out almost 3 years, its not hard to get to 60 especially with all the gear and high end accounts for sale or being powerlvld, this server is fun from 1-60

i have a 60 a 55 and a 49

been here since launch, yes there is not enough pixels for everyone at 60 who cares go outside

The explanation is that when there wasn't variance, GMs had to be online at the time of mob spawn to handle every single raid dispute. With variance, it alleviated the problem.

"You call our situation good!"

No, but the situation as it was before variance made it so a guild could have all mobs on lockdown easier. Now we see a guild like TMO dominate, but back in the day there were 3 or 4 guilds all of the same or equal power. Variance made it so the GMs didn't rage quit each month.

Rogean made a better answer in the last mega variance thread. I'm too lazy to look for it, but that was the gist of it.

Not having 15 servers that people can switch to and from isn't classic.
