Now you (or anyone) can decide to be like Chicken Little, claim the sky is falling, and blame the people who worked incredibly hard to make this place more classic ... or you can celebrate the fact that, after all this time, you finally get to play classic EverQuest.

I hear it was a pretty good game ... maybe even a better game than the partial re-creation that you've gotten used to?
How much of a difference between the "Classic" Enchanter experience versus what we see today in P99 would you attribute to better computers and more reliable internet connections? I think most people can agree that 26 years ago Enchanters weren't the soloing gods that we see today, but even if the code was perfectly restored on P99 to match what was seen on Live, I still believe that current knowledge of game mechanics combined with faster and more reliable internet speeds would change the "Classic" experience completely.

Are you arguing that the mechanics on P99 should emulate what was coded in 1999-2000 or that the code on P99 should be changed to force Enchanters to play like how the class was playing in 1999-2000?
