The Official Everquest Patch notes and code dumps from the EQ devs are the most reliable source of information for how the game actually worked. The only source that comes close to that is In era Vidoes and Verified Log files. Everything else is just anecdote that is subject to a heavy dose of skepticism. Unless whatever anecdote you post is backed up by credible sources, I'd say it can be mostly ignored and filed away as a speculative curiosity. It's quite possible that the EQ devs did "ninja" patches during the timeline, but without actual reliable evidence we have no way of Knowing what they did. Defaulting to current live mechanics in most cases is usually best in the absence of reliable data.

Yet they changed DN spiders to summon based on one post from Allakhazam 20 years ago. No logs, no Video, no Patch notes. That is cherry picking.
Mobs were able to be pushed. I could find plenty more evidence but the evidence above by me and others is enough. And again, the evidence they used to take away push was based on a completely different coded source. Alkabor had to be recoded from the bottom up to get it on macs.
There are other reasons they wont change it.
