From what I saw on a post a while back on the forums someone posted up patch notes from further along the timeline and highlighted that duck canceling shouldn't be in yet...and memory being a funny thing, I remember always moving around to cancel a spell in EQ's early days right up to the late levels - so if my server pop all didn't know about ducking to cancel spells we must have been a sad bunch

In other news the idea got floated around yesterday in the plug.dj channel (link in sig) to start up a R99 trio...so we did! Ended up with a SK/cleric/mage combo - I ported them to GFay and we were subject to a lot of generosity and help from the red community.
At level 5-6 we had a bard come by and pull for us (Muse?) on orc hill, then Muffin shouted out that he was giving out an Oracle Robe for free to someone who could wear it.
At level 7 we went into CB and joined a group of 2 who were having orcs pulled to the zone...and in the spirit of giving, the 3 of us (plus another cleric that joined us for orc hill) joined them and we all slayed orcs constantly for probably 90 minutes.
We then took a trip to Befallen, made more levels, and then to Upper Guk after a break for more! Suffice to say I enjoyed the group so much that it was about 5am before I logged out. A very long session, but 1-18 is in the bank

Were we the only ones in Crushbone? Befallen? Upper Guk? Nope... there's signs of life beyond your own group running around.
Special thanks last night to Citizenn and Spina, who at different times were really helpful and gave up their own gametime voluntarily.
Server confirmed alive and kicking pals...
Edit: Our SK had no armor and nothing better than a FS sword for the first 18 levels (and counting). It can be done
