Well I'm 100% positive that I can....because druids have a spell called ensnare which obviously works off the same resist root does. If ensnare landed on you, you would be stuck and not able to go anywhere for a solid 10 minutes on EQ live PvP servers.

Seeing as how EQ has always been crawling with druids, you definitely notice when spells like that stop landing on you. I think you could still land maybe 1 out of 10 or 20 with 80mr but with 100+ magic resist, nobody casted it on you.

Do you think the EQ devs would actually let people land crowd control spells like that plus 8 second long chanter stuns? A wizard and chanter could just group together and mez/stun/nuke everyone in the game to death.

I think with maximum MR gear in classic ( considering the game will have to scale to kunark) 75% resist to root with 25% partial resists (under 5 second break) would be fair
Once again, there is no logic whatsoever to that. You made a statement then failed to define *WHY* it should be like that or give any reasons. "Would be fair" is not a reason. There is no mention of caster vs melee or caster vs caster game dynamics or why any of it should be changed from normal EQ PvP servers.
