Your testing on the cliff golem tells us that either AC is broken OR there is some sort of cap in effect in this specific case.

Someone else did some testing at lower level vs a freeport guard, and his results show AC is working in this specific case.

This leads toward AC not beeing broken, but capped.

To the real question: is it classic or not?

Unless someone dig up an old post from 2000 we'll have to rely on what peoples remember from that time.
What I can tell about 2001-2002 (so not 2000, but close after) is that my personal feeling at that time was that HP>AC past a certain amount of AC.
What does a soft cap have to do with taking increased damage when your AC is increased, if anything it should stay the same?

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
