I handed mobs shields many times for funzies (can't do that to uncharmed mobs on P99 either, but in original EQ you could) and it sure as heck didn't make them dual wield. Ultimately not too big a...

Wrong. Luclin and especially Planes were irredeemable trash that destroyed the game, WoW or no WoW. I had already given up and quit EQ well before WoW launched.

EQ is case-in-point here because it trusts the client with *way* too much and has always been hugely vulnerable to various exploits and cheats. As you said, EQ had the financial backing behind it to...

If we limit ourselves to a human directing some sort of AI-driven code generator, if it can produce a Wolf3D or DooM-type game at present, we'll see an EQ-style game within ten years, possibly before...

Shamans were solo'ing stuff like west wastes dragons in-era for just that reason. They're single pulls that could be preslowed before entering melee, but those are also a somewhat unique case. This...

As someone who played paladins especially a lot back then, and SK's (as alts) to a lesser extent: Aggro was fine, typically-used aggro spells and stuns casted fast enough that you could either time...

Good advice for clerics, paladins, shamans. The druid/ranger equivalent buff ("Skin like Wood") doesn't add HP so they have to use the direct heal spell. Still cast minor heal anyway on the...

Someone getting hit a dozen times during a cast *shouldn't* be landing spells through it more than once in a blue moon. That's what EQ was, glossed over by 16 years of P99 players who either never...

That's the fear everyone has, I think, that they'll over-do it then leave it that way. Given P99's history that's a fair thing to be concerned about. As players all we can do is make our feelings...

Shamans were doing West Wastes dragons in-era, but those are mostly solo pulls and can often be pre-slowed before going into melee. What really hurts is brute force type pulls where you need to...

I'd gladly sign a petition to restore song (and other spell) aggro to its rightful place but the song target limit that was on "green" early on, instead made permanent.
