Yeah, but the ability to do it still existed.

Using midnight mallet to lock-in agro on a raid target as a warrior isn't very classic as a behavior, because people didn't realize they could do that back in the day. However the mechanism to do it did exist back then.

This server exists in a weird mix of classical mechanics (as best as the devs can simulate anyways) with all the knowledge of the ages.

Skyfire shouldn't have been possible because the mechanics of stun immune wurms would have made it impossible and it was just something that devs missed. Chardok AOE was possible on live from a mechanical standpoint, just people hadn't thought of it yet.

I don't disagree that Chardok AOE should be nerfed (but damn I'd really love to get these last levels pounded out before it happens :P) and I'd be willing to bet the Devs on live would have nerfed it if people were doing it the way they're doing it here on p99, it's just people weren't aware of the potential as much back then.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
