The proof for: 2 separate emails stating a 4 mob limit exists. +2 historical patch records that there was indeed some level of mob limitation due to bugs in code.
The proof against: Some guy's blog where he says he killed a gazillion frogloks at once and rants a lot.

I think you're gonna need a better source man.

Lets not discount the truth here! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You're right, forgot to mention the other sources were specifically bard and the rant blog is a shaman.

He's not interested in actual information. This entire post he's engaged in motivated reasoning, a form of cognitive dissonance that can easily be dismissed in any form of rational discussion.

Dude just wants to sperg out and get attention.

It's over there no point in arguing.
People were using AoE spells on mobs the day the game came out and there was no limit.
Mob limits didn't exist..
If some bard song was screwed up and got patched in Sep fine but everything else worked.

The burden of proof isn't on me although I did provide written testimony in the form of a game review from 5/99 that says "After hitting 24th I promptly purchased my new spells, and gathered together every froglok tadpole in the land into one nice big group, laughed as they tried to nibble me as they did oh so not long ago, and basked in the light of self satisfaction watching all 46 of them die at one time to the new improved area effect spells. That beats leveling to me man. I think I'll take a 2 week break from all leveling activity and stick to my tadpole killing."

You can all hate on me now it's fine. I'm just going to leave it at this and hope a dev sees this and takes out all mob limits because it was never part of classic.

Seems like there is no way to prove it since there's mob limits now and we are not allowed to recreate the classic experience. Since Green is actually going to be more like a hybrid pseudo server with modified mechanics to prevent players from doing certain things. Everyone must follow a strict set of regulations, single file line to the mobs please, only 25 mobs per player please, level to fast expect new even harsher regulations, you want only 4 mobs per player cause that's how you get it.

I'm starting to see how this might not work out actually......

Sorry bro! 25-mob-limit is REMAINING FROM LAUNCH on G99! You won't be monopolizing entire zones for years straight running a rampant RMT scheme this time around - get over it bud!

OOooohhhh right! You never RMTed I bet! Would love to see the staff investigate your accounts' histories of platinum-transactions. I'm sure it's all accounted for though, right?

Well I think I remembered where all the toxicity comes from now.
And I never made a dime off any AoE btw.

I'm sorry you won't ever get to experience doing mass AoE pulls in classic it was incredibly fun.

I did give it my best shot but it looks like there's just to many stupid people who don't know what fun is. Maybe it's some sort of brainwashing...

Could get everything you need, plat, items, gear, xp in one swift pull
or
Could wait hours doing trivial pulls

The fact remains mass AoE was possible, it was done in classic, the AoE spells were created and intended to be used this way.

To me it's mind boggling people would actually be against it. I don't comprehend any of your stupid stances on this matter.

All things considered, this thread did provide us with this:

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But I would like to call to attention a few exhibits:

EXHIBIT A this character uses PROFANITY

EXHIBIT B this character claims to have collected no less than FOURTY SIX froglock tads in all the land

EXHIBIT C this character uses the phrase [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] New and Improved, at the Date: 5/18/99

5/18/99 is exaclty 2 months after the launch of everquest. 4 months before the september 13th patch that says it fixed a bug about AoE mobs.

What does this mean? I dont know? Maybe the writer of that blog is crazy.

Maybe the writer of that blog was testning new code that fixed AoE spells that later broke, and were fixed again september 13th

its worth noting I have not ever, seen patch notes for the moths March 16th - around June/July, thats where this 5/18/99 date lies.

All I can say is, there aint no zone in EQ that has no 46 froglock tads in it, but during the first 2 months of everquest I can tell you this much:

4 froglock tads probubly sure as hell felt like 46
