I played this game since day one and always remember duck casting, I hear people say they think it wasnt classic, wich one us is cray?!
Ill swear up and down it was in. I mean I quit right after vel came out, and I Know it existed at some point, so that means it couldn't possibly be anything but classic, right? So why does anyone say its not classic?

I'm certain it was in classic too however 14 years is a long time so basically you have to find some evidence it was.
In the first post I linked the EQ manual which clearly shows in 1999 pets could only be commanded to a certain range. It didn't specify how far though. Just that pet command range was doubled on release. But then there were posts from mid 2001 (prior to Luclin) which has multiple people saying it was about /say range.
That's pretty good evidence of the classic mechanic. Though at some point which I'm not sure of there was a global /pet attack command which was removed at some further point.
So basically if you could duck and cancel spells in Velious that of course like you said doesn't mean you could do it in Kunark or classic but if no evidence exists to show otherwise I don't think it's correct to say it wasn't classic IMO.
