Yeah it's always funny when these threads pop up every several months. It's always essentially "P99 is dying because I can't play the game specifically the way I want to and I don't want to share with others"
P99 is still using broken channeling rates which make the game stupidly easy in all ways. Core gameplay function still broken. I'll return if this is ever addressed and the devs start actually communicating about bugs by providing a bug tracker like any other modern day code base. Also this extends beyond channeling to INT/WIS mana caps and many other things which are dramatically "not classic" here.

It's pretty simple. P99 is trivialized EQ in all ways. From level 1 to highest end raid targets everything is about 10x easier than it would have been on live. The added trivialization like lists, increased spawn rates, rooted raids, on and on, it's just a joke now.

P99 is no longer attempting to recreate classic. It's a unique "Everquest classic based experience" or whatever. I mean, they even nerfed quest turn ins so you can't get to level 8 from bone chips but recharging items on vendors endlessly to trivialize raiding is just fine. Nothing makes sense here anymore and it got WAY WORSE upon green launch. They basically had promised a super classic green launch and within a few days we had increased spawn rates, an instanced server, nerfed quests, etc.

It's pretty fucking hilarious to hear anyone try to talk past these issues. P99 isn't classic EQ anymore and it isn't trying to be.
