Never mind that there are 100x more donals bp here unnerfed then there ever was on live.

But hey, remove the compass, that shit is important
I agree with this 100%. I too feel too much energy is being spent on removing nameplates from players with a skeleton illusion.

What is classic in the strictest sense of the word may not be desirable or even feasible in 2013. Another example is bard kiting. While it was possible in 1999 high-speed internet was far less prevalent, and it was not really something I ever saw much of until post-Velious because of concurrent technological availability.

Obviously another difference is such complete documentation. People can simply google anything about EQ, and over the last 14 years enough people have usually commented for there to be knowledge readily available.

So, basically you're right. There is a pretty large difference between server behavior in Classic and how players behave, and even how quickly the two interact.
