caster NPCs shouldn't be casting at their current school level, it should be 2 levels below (e.g. lvl 49 wizard mob casts spells up to level 39)

the fix doesn't seem particularly hard, the main issue is finding the evidence to prove this. there's some anecdotes like posts on the Safehouse mentioning how easy casters in Sebilis are to solo, but very little in the way of "X mob casts spells A, B, C"

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the tactician in lower guk would cast gravity flux.

Didn't lvl 49 guk wizards cast ice comet too? I'm not sure this rule applied everywhere. Pretty sure most of these spawns were sub 49 though, but the ones that were 49...watch out!

I've seen people posting that you will not be able to bind Melee's in other cities and city zones like Gfay. If this is true, it needs to be put out there as soon as possible since people like myself are planning with their friends for pre-made static groups. Returning to Qeynos, SFG or Halas after a death Pre-29 (first Cleric Rezz) would be disastrous for a static group. Even the boat ride back if you just missed it would be pretty time consuming and frustrating for most. Please clarify this so we can plan accordingly.

Binding players in any city was around at launch. What I think people are referring to is the fact that you can only bind others in cities and gfay. That run from Freeport to CT still kind of sucks.

Are we going back to the Human XP bonus?

I do remember NPC's charming people. I'm guessing that's not a thing on p1999 at all? One of the scariest newbie moments I had in EQ was when the hag in unrest charned a level 40 barbarian warrior in full plate. whenever the hag spawned everyone would go to the zone enterance. Also some npc in Freeport used to charm people though I think that was a bug since it cast through the walls. My friend had just started playing and thee I was charmed and killing him. It took him awhile to stop being mad at me.

Charming was extra terrible for me, because literally every time I was charmed in the day my dial up connection would drop too. I've always wondered why this was. Did the server suddenly start sending me too many packets to update my location frequently, effectively DOS'ing me? Was there something in the packets that looked like a disconnect signal? I'd love a time machine and some network gods to explain that one to me.

Made being charmed all the more terrifying. I guess it's like 'blacking out' once you're under their control.

I've definitely been charmed in Mistmoore on more than one character more than one time and seen it happen to others.

@Nilbog: The announcement was the formal opening of Solusek B on live, which had also been renamed from Solusek B to Nagafen's Lair.

The confusion arose because people thought it was a brand new dungeon, ie a brand new zone file, but they had just revamped and opened the existing dungeon from back in beta.

Edit: this newsgroup thread reads a bit better

Edit 2: Looks like they revamped SolA and SolB all in one go actually. Maybe I misread.

Edit 3: there is a post there saying that it was a zone revamp and that SolB had been active a few weeks before. So I'm wrong about this I think. SolB had already been open, just in a different state. Mea culpa.
