Other than azmodeus those two were the only players virtually everyone knew/heard of back in the day. You really couldn't pick a worse person to dismiss as some ignoramus.
And your video about AoEing on povar... did you see where they are? We are talking about early classic, usually called "vanilla". hence not including kunark.
And the one dude clearly says improved spellS, despite only having one at 24. That gives the impression he may have cast multiple.

This Kendrick person doesn't seem to know anything and everything linking back to him I have seen is wrong. Plus he wasn't part of the EQ team then either and got fired after he did become part of it.
There is nothing to mass AoE like that pre Kunark anyhow it's just to difficult to get any good pulls in the original dungeons trust me I have tried to pull everything.
When the game first came out there was no limit to AoE spells this much I am absolutely sure of and I have shown evidence dating back to a month after release confirming this.
And it reads from the bottom up.
"And what of those changes. I have taken a look at some of the big name EQ sites lately, the best one one being the site at
www.gameznet.com/eq/ If any of you now big time EQ players have not taken a look at the site, I encourage you to do so. However, as informative that the site is, they fail to really get a lot of the details on things that actually mean something, and seem to rely on information sent to them by others.
I am planning on doing something somewhat like they do, but based more upon my experiences and what I have encountered or accomplished first hand, and do so in a way that only I can muster. Entertaining yet informative. That's my goal."

You can't keep ignoring the fact that everyone including some of the biggest EQ websites of the time all say exactly how AoE worked. They do not say there is a limit to the number of mobs a spell can hit and they don't say that because there was never any limit to AoE.
