Howdy all,
Since the servers are still down, I can't confirm this, but:
1) "Haynar: Improved (more classic) FD behavior."
This my suggest that Necro FD is back on a timer, in accordance with this change on February 17, 2000:
"The "Feign Death" spell, when cast by a Necromancer, will now have a fixed duration. The Necromancer will receive several warnings prior to the spell wearing off. This change was necessary because some Necromancers found a way to gain experience through their pet while being AFK for an extended duration, such as being in bed for the night. Note: This does not affect Shadowknights or Monks."

Was implemented to address an afk xp exploit which I don't believe exists on P1999 (?). Pets currently don't aggro mobs when the owner is FD as far as I'm aware. Seems the timer was never an intention of the devs for the necro class rather a fix for an exploit.
Also that thread suggests the FD duration implementation came and went, but it's hard to know when that happened. The only evidence on that thread suggests it was atleast gone before SoL.
