Over tuning mobs doesn't make the game better. They tried this in SoL or PoP in the end game zone (forget which), gave some minis something crazy like 3 million HPs and took end game geared guild like 45 mins of tank and spank. EQ got blasted hard after that for being a dumb time sink, and devs reacted swiftly to down tune the content and add different features to the bosses.

P99 can make some simple changes (which require no coding, simply policy change) to make life more classic and challenging: no longer summon rotted corpses, no longer restore accidental destroys or drop transfers, no transferring of raid loot even if on encounter log, no restoring deleted accounts.

This was classic as fuck. Real death fear no longer exists on P99, staff should not do corpse restores. Period.

For coding changes: fix the mana cap / mana values (everyone gets the nerf bat here), make channeling classic, adjust charm to classic rates. This would objectively make all content harder (i.e. more classic).
