This is completely anecdotal but I agree with Danth here 100%. I've also been playing EQEmu since almost as long as EQ has been around and P99 is one of the few servers where AC feels like it does something.
On Green in my mid-teens I upgraded my Monk's cloth armor to mesh armor and the difference was huge. I went from getting pounded pretty hard (Unrest, all range of cons) to tanking noticeably better than even other Warriors I was grouping with.
