Read this, see actual patch notes from May 1999: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=335869

So, no you are wrong...mage pets are OP on P99, not classic! My first character was mage and the pets sucked balls. The pets did not cast up until around 2.5 months in. Pets post level 20 did not exist in-game due to research broke. If research would have been fixed, the only way to get a pet post 20 would have been through research. Keep in mind that research drops were 300% rarer at the time. So most mages who made it past 20 ended up using the level 20 pet until 2.5 months in when it got fixed.
Who cares? Even if they wanted to go through the effort to implement this, it would get you like 8 weeks without a mage group and then these people would just start doing it at that point. It's really not a significant period of time where you'd be without it.

Who cares if people want to make a pre-made with 6 mages and try and race their way to 50? Sounds extremely boring to me and it seems like they're going to miss out on part of what makes a fresh server so great, but if they really want to do that who cares? That's how they enjoy their EverQuest. Doesn't matter to me.

Ok, then with all due respect be quiet. If the devs know about it, then maybe they will make the change you want. If they haven't SAID anything about it yet, then there's nothing to complain about because you don't know for sure that they aren't going to make the change. You're complaining about a decision that hasn't been made yet as far as you know. Although, TBH, if I were a dev after all the ranting you've done on here I would just let pets cast spells from day 1, just to trigger you.
