In 2001 I worked for an ISP and had access to a T1 whenever I wanted, and 128K ISDN lines were cheap and readily available in the city where I lived. EQ doesn't use enough data to even saturate a 128k ISDN line, even when AOEing. Either option was better than playing EQ than my current rural wireless ISP with ping times of 100+ in 2016. By 2001 we were up to 1.7GHz Pentium 4s and Nvidia GForce3 video cards... which were more than capable of AoEing zones like Chardok, Seb, Fear, etc. In fact me and friends often did just that. I'm willing to bet you could still do an AOE groups (before this nerf anyways) on p99 with a P4 1.7Ghz and a GForce3 video card with the graphics turned down and logs turned off, no problem! Both in 2001 on Live and on p99 In we had no problems AOEing fear for CT in 1 or 2 pulls at most, now that will require a minimum of 8 AOE pulls making it take much longer and adding significantly to the lag in the zone and server stress as guilds have much more time to mobilize lots more people for CT now.

Yeah my guild was definitely AE pulling fear for CT during Velious. We pulled the entire zone at once. This change is not classic at all. The justification makes no sense. Yes, my framer ate would drop into the teens and my PC would beg for mercy, but it worked and it happened on live.
Guessing this is another one of those super classic changes that will never be reverted despite the mountains of evidence that will come up. | ||

Grind is classic. Hooray for the non-karnor evacs

In classic, most players actually AE'd in Sebilis.
I look forward to AE Groups popping up in Sebilis, pulling 25 mobs a pop won't be too bad, only need 1-2 enchanters for that too.

Talking about 56k, minimal pc/server specs etc... lot of speculations there. This is a poor excuse to justify your move.
You seem to not like the smart players who play the game the way you don't know/like it. Like 3 years ago when the lame GM you banned who was spying me in HS and thought I was cheating because I was able to solo pull many rooms (lol...) Nerfing AoE, why not. But consider that a lot of ppl became rich & powerfull by using it. This is an important change and to be fair, you should wipe the servers.
