You know what's not classic? Precise individual mob movement speeds.
That kind of exact information is gone forever.

Hmm. I remember needing sow to get away from the griffon(s)--the big one was fast--in north karana.
For the poster who said this was EQ copying the extreme lazy anti-train aggro in the newer MMO's, umm, they're incomparable. Kunark especially had huge open zones. It's more likely they got the idea to do lazy-lite mechanics during that time.
But it's true MMO's are copying each other all the time. OOC regen (2006) is much better example. But honestly it's really simple. MMO's tend to copy whatever reduces downtime and whatever increases soloing power. Whatever makes players happy. Unfortunately, in a feverish pace to outcopy others, MMO's lose some of their originality and they all start to look/play the same. I mean, you can't have players from the bigger MMO's coming to your MMO and not knowing what to do, right? So just copy copy copy copy.
