Weebs pick Ryu.

LOL I was a Blanka player myself (which I'm sure was a terrible choice). I picked Ryu's dragon punch as a common frame of reference.
And just like a Street Fighter II emulator where no one dragon punches, a classic EverQuest emulator where grouping is unpopular can't be an accurate emulator:

Now look, some stuff is environmental and outside Nilbog's control. We're all older now for instance, and adults (wanting shorter sessions) are more likely to solo. We all have internet connections that last, so we can solo without fear of dying from link death. And so on.
But there are also environmental factors that
are in Nilbog's control, both classic code fixes and "unclassic" things like the 25 mob AoE limit (which made this place feel so much more classic). As cider noted, he has done an amazing job with this emulator. In almost all respects, despite whatever has changed in past 25 years, it still feels almost exactly like EQ did in '99-'01.
Zura, myself, and others, are just pointing out some key things that still aren't classic ... because Nilbog has converted us all into classic-ists! I swear, I didn't give a fig about classic when I came here years ago, but Nilbog sold me on it.
Now that he has, we're just trying to "sell" his own vision back to him, and advocate for making P99 even more classic. Imagine how great it would be if you could have Green, but just with a few tweaks that made it fun to group again!
