Project 1999 just doesn't get much development time any more. One of the most remarkable things about TAKP is watching the developers fixing things every week while still working on a new expansion. So yeah, fixing knight defense, releasing Chardok, the 2H upgrades, etc all seem like higher priorities for me. And I realize that no one likes to get nerfed after putting a lot of time and effort into something.

But I think if you step back and look at the big picture objectively, implementing classic caps on AC, mana, and resists has a lot of positive side effects: better balance between players and NPCs, better balance between raiders and non-raiders, a generally more classic server, and hopefully a more relaxed attitude. I'm totally for competitors and against handout queens, but tracking and late night batphoning to acquire pixels on an emulated server is a pretty pointless mode of competition. MMORPGs in general are probably not great for spiritual development but P99 has taken it to a new level.

I think if you channel that competitive energy into something more real, like say MMA or politics, you might find it more rewarding fairly quickly.
