It makes sense that certain aoe spells were bugged at one point and not casting correctly. If you're looking for proof I suggest finding posts about the gem icon color. Blue means unlimited and green means max 4, right? Surely there are posts complaining that these colors are meaningless if there was a 4 mob limit.
Most likely it was a single patch that broke certain spells or z-axis casting made aoes not work right or some other little oddity that the devs noticed and fixed.

Ok ok, I am an addict. I said I was back, yet haven't updated in a while. I told you I was a slacker, and from now on just consider it part of the site disclaimer. I just hit 24th level on my Shaman, and I gotta say, life has just gotten a lot better. New spell levels mean tons of fun. If you don't play EQ, you can't relate. Last night I was just given a whole new arsenal of shitkicking spells, and well, it's fun to terrorize the little bastard critters that gave you so much trouble as an infantile ass sratching troll. After hitting 24th I promptly purchased my new spells, and gathered together every froglok tadpole in the land into one nice big group, laughed as they tried to nibble me as they did oh so not long ago, and basked in the light of self satisfaction watching all 46 of them die at one time to the new improved area effect spells. That beats leveling to me man. I think I'll take a 2 week break from all leveling activity and stick to my tadpole killing.

But this is not classic but obviously all lies. I mean dial up aoe's would never work anyways there's literally no evidence of any groups anywhere using dial up to aoe mobs. Doesn't exist at all.
The main thing now is to make sure the mob limit gets set to only 4 because there is proof. It's real and everyone who remembers how aoe spells hit more then 4 mobs obviously doesn't remember right and any information at all saying aoe spells hit more then 4 mobs is nothing but lies.
Don't even question it because that's some type of sin now.
