i suspect they nerfed it because it trivialized too much content and allowed for massive farming of highly sought after mobs.

When you make a change that isn't classic because it violates some unwritten feeling about how you think classic EQ was or should be based on zero evidence you've lost all credibility.

SoulFire nerf felt classic, still does. Epic level equip requirement felt classic, still does. The spirit of classic and the original vision are open to interpretation but it isn't as if McQuaid and company didn't comment on some of this stuff. Lay Hands was specifically kept from being a true complete heal long before the game went from paper to computer screen. The devs didn't want a queue of paladins LHing the main assist, dying, and LHing again. All/All SoulFire was worse. It's a game, an interactive piece of art, not a specimen in formaldehyde. We have custom UIs, GINA, Better Pixels, Wiki guides. Even the original composer, Jay Barbeau, is going back through his songs and breathing new life into them. Does he lose credibility because of the technical limitations back then that hemmed in his creative choices?

Seems completely irrelevant unless the P99 devs decided to add the new music to the game and force everyone to use it.

What nerf are you guys talking about exactly?

I thought OP's question was trying to get that exact page's post date.

I inferred his question for the date to try and validate sneak pulling as classic and therefore claim it should not have been removed from P99.

They're talking about the way sneak pulling functions on p99 now versus the way it functioned on p99 prior to changes.

I have only anecdotal evidence and in my days, sneak pulling was not used the way it was used on p99 to single pull hi level mobs and stuff, but I wasn't friends with the smartest people killing the toughest mobs.

Better Pixels, Duxa's, and GINA aren't forced or irrelevant.
