All mobs dying within 2 mins of spawning like they do here is extremely unclassic for era.
Yeah I raided in PoP and it was absolutely nothing like p99. I'd come home and log on, by 6pm est we'd be sending out rangers to check what mobs were up, by 6:30pm we'd pick a target and start raiding, then we'd call it quits around 10 or 11. There was no such thing as 3am batphones or rushing to kill targets in the middle of the day while everyone was at work. CotH ducking? Never heard of it til p99.

There's a multitude of reasons that all add together to create the raid scene we have in p99 today, but it's kind of crazy how quickly the devs and community dismiss the idea of trying to actually address the current reality of the raid scene in the name of being 'classic'. Today's raid scene is anything but classic. It's downright degenerate. I'm sure it could be worse but it could be a whole lot better too.

Its so un-classic that it far outweighs the myriad smaller things on this server that are just slighty un-classic

I have GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

While all that's true ... feel free to stop flattering Stallman (the guy is a nut anyway) and just call it Linux like everyone else [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
