Circle kiting needs to be nerfed

A lot of folks didn't even have 56K (and if you recall, even folks who had 56K rarely to never actually connected at that speed), and I don't know that the host's rate of data output took any advantage of broadband. Some other MMOG's of the time definitely didn't (I know a few online games that still used a 9600-baud or equivalent data rate even into 2000/2001). Even the best connection wouldn't help if the host wasn't sending position updates and such quickly enough.

I don't know for certain either way, but it's something to think about.

Yah but this is SOE we are talking about. They prolly had a decent connection. I remember kiting and rarely ran into many problems

now tbh not all bards are bad. there are a few that think all of zones like OT are theirs. But there are a limited number of zones bards can do this in. No one really cares to group with bards honestly so they are gonna do what they can for exp. You could always try a diffrent zone instead of complaining about one zone where a few bards are. There are plenty of zones for level 30's to 50's

Lots of things on this server have been nerfed from classic because they were broken or op. Its an exploit thats why it was nerfed on live. If you read the play nice rules what they are doing is clearly against the rules.

Does not do any good for the people who need zerkers for faction quests

Why do people even level in OT or LOIO? They're shitty zones with bad zem and are where bards usually kite.

You must be the person who petitioned me today but didn't send me a tell. No one sent me any messages the entire time I was there except a druid who was concerned she goofed me up. I told her to take any tigers off me she wanted. I was contacted by Eunomia a few hours later when I was running off to do the hunter/forager.

I wish you would have contacted me so I didn't disrupt your experience leveling; I would be happy to accommodate both our leveling in the zone. I'm sure we would have worked it out without a petition.

This is from my power leveling thread you can see in my signature:
"Ethics Disclaimer
I will make all efforts to provide a service that is fast and efficient while remaining ethical. All attempts will be made to avoid interrupting other players' regular leveling experiences. I will always work with other players if there is a possibility they may feel interrupted by my power level session, and if a zone is too crowded, I may choose to end the session to ensure the client and other players all have the most positive experience possible. I may choose to end the session or deny service if the client requests I act in an unethical manner."

Aren't you the bard who sometimes shows up in Kurn's Tower and sends an announcement?

If yes, then it doesn't bother me because in the end you always give some free power leveling to the random players in the zone.

If no, then it doesn't bother me because I don't level in OT / LOIO anyways.
