Miscellaneous: P99 should have a +Mana cap and revised Base Mana Formula

I wonder if some folks getting really high mana pools is related to the open bug report that int / wis above 200 should only give +1 mana instead of the heavy gains on p99.

This means we gain a couple hundred mana we wouldn't have had on Live in equivalent gear. Keep in mind the historic client did not show exact mana values like our Titanium client does. Mana pools had to be worked out via testing (usually casting fixed-cost spells with no active mana regen) and was something of an inexact science.

Personally I don't believe a hard cap on mana pool or hit points ever existed. Well...we were probably capped to 32,000 in the pre-Velious era for the same reason monsters were but that was a moot point. We have somewhat higher mana pools on P1999 due to the different way Wisdom behaves past 200 on P99 relative to Live.
