Found some additional correlating evidence that the +mana item cap SHOULD scale with level. The below interview was from Gordon:

Additional confirmation found, in case all this wasn't enough:

I can't wait to hear fixed pending update in this thread. It will reach ultimate immersion values when Mana is limited according to your base mana value.

Friendly bump. I realize a proper mana formula / cap can be a re-tuning nightmare as it affects everyone in game (and all content). Still would love to see it!

What an immersive change this would be.

Bump. If we are never getting Luclin this is a crucial bug fix for the balance of the server. However if Luclin is in the works probably don’t need to worry about it since Luclin fixes it.

Rather than bumping this thread, you should make a new one that is better organized. Most of the evidence is buried deep in the thread. I think the most likely conclusion is that +mana items were capped at 1/2 of your total mana pool based on Jaxon's posts, which cuts P99ers down to 3700 max or so.
I think in the end this would be a positive change for the server. With this, the 289 item ac hard cap, and diminished resist returns over 200 (based on what I saw in the VP AE thread, but it needs way more research) players will no longer be able to go god-mode with TOV gear. The NPCs can then be tuned down to true classic ATK/AC/cooldown/resist mod values. The result will be both a much more classic server - P99 has tremendously accurate quests and such, but the mechanics have never been that close - and also, I would hope, a less competitive one where getting 15 slots of Velious Raid gear isn't so important. | ||

I do agree with you that adjusting this cap, ac values, and resists would indeed change the dynamics of the server and hopefully create more of a 'relive the nostalgia' mentality amongst the player base and make BiS profiles just marginally better than HoT gear.
