Rather than bumping this thread, you should make a new one that is better organized. Most of the evidence is buried deep in the thread. I think the most likely conclusion is that +mana items were capped at 1/2 of your total mana pool based on Jaxon's posts, which cuts P99ers down to 3700 max or so.
I think in the end this would be a positive change for the server. With this, the 289 item ac hard cap, and diminished resist returns over 200 (based on what I saw in the VP AE thread, but it needs way more research) players will no longer be able to go god-mode with TOV gear. The NPCs can then be tuned down to true classic ATK/AC/cooldown/resist mod values. The result will be both a much more classic server - P99 has tremendously accurate quests and such, but the mechanics have never been that close - and also, I would hope, a less competitive one where getting 15 slots of Velious Raid gear isn't so important.
