P99 is the emulator of the memory of two dudes who played EQ.
It is not an emulator of everquest, it never has been, and it's varied towards and away from being the latter in most major patches without ever consistently attempting to be the former.
That is why everything is so severely over tuned.
That is why sneak pulling was never implimented correctly, then removed entirely.
That is why for 5 years AC didn't work here. And they still wont 'flick the switch' for rangers.
That is why 'rare' drops are insanely rare. Manastones should be a 1/4 or so drop rate, not 1/25 or so. Repeat for all 'rare'.
That is why dragons drop 2-3 less items than they did on live in most instances here.
That is why resist rates are so broken and player resists are comically useless compared to live.
That is why npc spell caster behaviour here was not correct for pre velious.
That is why npc spell caster behaviour is not correct even post velious.
And.....
That is why channeling is so broken here.
And many more things. This is the emulation of a memory of a game.
And I'm thankful we have it as it beats the shit out of the other options until someone finally fixes TAKP client.
