Yes, and pretty damn good evidence was provided to support it, being a bard myself(I actually have multiple) I can’t wait until it’s lifted.

Here is the text:
25 mob AoE limit
On live AoE spells (and Bard songs) could affect all mobs in range, but on Project 1999 these spells/songs only affect a maximum of 25 mobs.
There are a few explanations for why the developers made this "unclassic" change:
GM sanity: petitions for zones where AoE was widespread (eg. The Overthere) were far more common than petitions for other zones. Since P99 has an all volunteer staff, this drain on resources was significant
The entire zone of Chardok was monopolized by AoE groups, to the point where it was difficult for non-AoE adventures to level there (creating an extremely unclassic environment in that zone)
During the original live classic era (1999-2001) internet connections were much less reliable, both in terms of bandwidth and in terms of latency/ping. While some players did have access to better connections, the vast majority of EQ players in the classic era were constrained by their internet connection, and this limit simulates that limitation on Project 1999
It's a simulation of the internet connection, NOT of the actual limit in the game.
I doubt you were barding in 99. That or your 20 year old memory isn't cutting it or you suffered with poor internet.
