Literally the whole point of p99 is to recreate the mechanics. See sig.

Why do they patch exploits or introduce the list system then, or nerf things like bard aoe?

edit: I'll go further. If you support no mage pets, why do you support the list system?

They set bard AoE to four targets because I found proof it worked that way.

Bard AE hit more than 4 targets until I got it nerfed on live. I was paid to write an article explaining how to use MQ2 with /circle macro and a hack to walk underwater to AFK AE kite entire zones out of view of any player and get level 60 in a couple days. It was posted on the SOE forums and nerfed a week later somewhere around PoP era.

I'm curious, are you saying it used to hit only 4 and then was increased?

watch the video announcing green, codes arent the point. They never meant classic errors and code mistakes. They speak of the classic eq experience spanning the first 2 expansion and original release

This is why nobody will die of a heart attack because shadowman are in game, it changes nothing to the classic experience. they will all fix these in times and next iteration will be cleaner.

There is nothing classic at having tons of mages with no pets passed 34. It never happened during classic.

"But _____ isn't classic, therefore _____ unclassic thing should be in too" is a horrible argument to sway the dude in charge who literally says he wants classic mechanics even if it makes people mad.

I'm not saying I'm going to sway him, I'm saying his stated motivation is clearly not his actual motivation.

Ah, yes, like the classic 80% reduction in spawn timers. Very classic.

This was done to recreate the 'kill 3 linked mobs to respawn them' system used on live which devs were not able to implement on p99.

This was done explicitly to handle the large number of people at launch, and the xp nerf was done because of exploit fears.
