The reason I asked is cause on P99, those regular mobs didn't summon at first either, atleast not until they put Kunark in, about 2-3 years later down the line.

Then they put that summon flag on, on basically any mob that's 51+, regardless if its a raid boss or mini boss or regular. It's not the worst thing to deal with, but it's a bad type of custom change and definitely does not belong in classic/kunark by any means! This is a huge turn-off, especially if you have a unique way of gameplay to keep a game interesting and challenging at the same time, but that Summon ability on regular mobs, just takes all the fun right out of it.

Is there a forum thread that's dedicated to Q/A, other than the FAQs?

How long has this P2002 server been live/up so far?

Are certain items which only dropped once or a set amount of times on live and P99, will they be having that type of restriction on P2002 as well (e.g. Lustruous Armor, Cryosilk Robe, etc.)?

This is another huge turn-off, cause bugs or certain bad ideas shouldn't be reproduced on a classic/progressive server just because they were present on the real servers way back when, while at the same time making customizations to regular mobs like with the summon ability. It doesn't add to the fun, it just takes more of it away - it's too bad people in charge of the servers do not see it that way.
