The only thing classic about r99 is that now you have to sit before you camp.
This server was built on level 30 pets doing ~80 dps by exploiting sword of runes.
This server was built on exploiting invis pulling and avoiding actual PvE mechanics entirely.
This server is currently built on multiple free, shared accounts, and easy xp so you can maintain the best buffs in the game at all times.
And don't forget that melees hit 95% of the time instead of around 50%, and that the damage is unmitigated by AC so that anyone that can remember to hit disc before attack can collect YT at least once an hour. Does crippling blow still stun for 1.0 instead of .1 as well?
No nameplate on skeleton existed on live for less than half the time this server has spent plodding through Kunark. Unfortunately, on this server, quite a few people have made deep emotional ties to their gear and "shits classic" has become a battle cry for people who have given over their existence to EQ.
