Correct there is a bug report thread with evidence already. There are several major bugs that seem to be getting ignored that are making things very not classic.
Feign death changes.
ZEMs.
Mana per int/wis beyond 200.
Item recharging not working for all items.
Probably a few others but these have existed for months or even years now on the bug reports forum with evidence provided. If these things were changed to be classic the entire dynamic of P99 would change overnight.
Classes like Enchanter are clearly overpowered regardless of being classic yet they aren't nerfed but classes like Necro, Druid, Bard, and others have all been nerfed from their classic state due to being "OP."
I was really hopeful that these new servers wouldn't turn into Cheese 2.0 but that is exactly what has happened. People rushing through levels with non-classic ZEM using charmed backstabbing pets so they can poopsock raid mobs with their non-classic levels of inflated mana and easy FD pulling to split mobs.
I really don't know why things are being kept so "ez mode" here when adequate proof has been provided.
I've just decided that this isn't an attempt at classic EQ anymore. It's just P99 which is fun enough in the right situations.
