Okay so now that I have the eq-archives fully indexed, I thought run some searches about this.

But was it real? I know TAKP has actual logs and tests of this stuff, I presume that's where the change came from. You have to defer to hard data if you have it I think. | |||||

It could very well be a coincidence, Dolalin, in the sense that there IS a very small chance to interrupt mobs via melee attacks (regardless of whether the mob moves spatially) - and this is what the players are referring to when they talk about melee pushing on one side to prevent a successful NPC spell cast.
I am highly dubious of that, though. I think anyone who plays a melee character can attest to how infinitesimally low that chance is to interrupt NPC spells via melee. Perhaps that chance is supposed to be higher? If push interrupt SEEMED as reliable as it did in Classic, maybe it was a function of the chance to interrupt NPCs via melee hit variable being much higher than it is here? I don't know. It would be nice to get some developer input on this thread, though. God knows we have provided enough evidence on our end . . .it would be nice to see or hear what evidence was used to support this change.

Yea, this is what is staggering me on this one. It was changed -- with credit from TAKP devs, apparently -- despite an overwhelming amount of anecdotal evidence both from players on P99 community as well as posts from Allakhazam and other Classic sources that push was a reliable mechanic.
This leads me to believe that they must have SOME kind of dataset that would contradict that. But how does that jive with people like Croco and others testifying that they were able to, in era, easily interrupt caster mobs with epic fists alone? What kind of data (if any) did they collect on TAKP? Is that even relevant here in this era? What is the metric? How was the metric measured? There are just so many questions left unanswered for an issue that is going to be 2 years old soon and was controversial from the very start.
