i started recently playing (i love this server) and i now have a lvl 10 hlf dru and a lvl 5 iks mnk. compared to original EQ (i played 1999-2006) it seems to me that the difficulty is alot lower on p1999.
- monster speed lower than in original EQ? (i noticed this many times when running, for example i could run across half a zone with a red mob on me and survived, it rarely hit me, i assume because it wasn't really faster than i was, in original EQ i would've been dead for sure)
- with a lvl 1 barb warrior and all skills at level 1 i could easily kill yellow mobs without losing many hp. in original EQ it wasn't easy to kill even lvl 1 mobs in melee with untrained skills and unthinkable for yellow cons.
- exp gain from quests seems to be a multiple compared to original EQ (i guess at least 4 times higher - i know there was a patch yesterday but i made 3 levels by turning in gnoll fangs after that patch, where it would have been about 1 level in 1999. i also noticed it for low level quests in cabilis, tough that was before the patch)

That's very interesting if that is your experience. In MY experience on this server I can't outrun any mobs faster than a fire beetle...unless I strafe run. In original EQ I remember being able to outrun almost any mob (pre-Kunark) as long as I started running when I had enough hp to not drop my agi. On p99 I can't outrun ANYTHING. What's more...in original EQ I was able to run far enough out of agro range that the mob forgot about me (as long as I stayed far enough away from him). On p99 nothing EVER forgets about you. Even if you run ALLLL the way to the other side of the zone while it's rooted. As soon as root breaks it tears ass after you.
