How is AC working these days, few other Q's

[wonderdream]

I have searched extensively for this subject, and found many conflicting views.

I haven't played since 2010 and am just getting back into p1999.

Is AC working like classic more or less? And, do monks fall properly in their (pretty substantial) classic/kunark shoes? Or are monks mitigating like post-nerf, post-velious monks? IE what does eqemu code look like for monks and is p1999 altered from that?

Any thoughts on AC and Warriors, and how they a stacking to classic?

Other random question: how long do most people generally end up waiting for on IP exemption requests? Is it as long as the petition forum states?
