Ways that P99 is different than Classic
 

I just thought I'd start a thread about all the different things that are not Classic in P99.

1) Spell resists seem to be much rougher
2) Mob speed is faster
3) You don't have to stare at your spellbook to meditate (yayy)
4) Variable spawn time on raid mobs
5) Camps are defined and holdable!
6) Mobs don't run away fast enough at low hps

Gotta catch em all!

7) our skill is higher, so we need a tougher challenge.....such as actually earning our raid loot by fighting others for it.

Because...

-player mentality is the same now as it was 11 years ago,
-the meta-game is still as unknown as it was 11 years ago,
-everything can be perfectly replicated using an emulator and no knowledge of how things were originally coded

...amirite?

I don't understand the point of this thread, other than to further rail against the developers for various reasons.

7) all the players on this server are not classic.

over all devs did a great job, i barely played much of classic, thought i was bad ass being a lvl 22 dwarf paly yielding not sure what weapon, but clad in full chain mail soloing crocs in oasis, lol

back then i only saw a few zones, butcherblock, greater fay, crushbone, the boat for back and forth cr's, i was 11, no clue what a bind soul was then, east commanlands, north ro and oasis, all i saw back then in 99/00

besides those few zones, i made it a good habit at that age that i now broke of training/griefing people, but ive just heard from more people, that durring most classic servers, people were much nicer

It doesn't take my computer 2 1/2 minutes to zone or load the game.

Play time is hindered by sex now

No, it was hindered by sex THEN, it's hindered by KIDS now...
