Can anything be done about multiquesting?

Actually, I think we're approaching the point where a decision has to be made about whether the game should "feel classic" or have every single "classic technicality"

P99 has already made that decision, as you allude to - the AoE nerf, the epic level restriction, etc.

For me, the game no longer "feels" classic, obviously.

There are some tweaks that could make it "feel classic" at the sacrifice of "classic technicalities."

Not everyone's experience of "classic" is the same - this comes up a lot because P99 is essentially a blue server, which attracts blue players, but the creators primarily played on PvP servers. What they wanted to create was a blue server with the competitiveness of a red server, and I'd say they've more or less succeeded. Just like it's not the same '90s everyone's going back to in their head - you liked Nirvana, but never listened Third Eye Blind, etc. The classic experience on red servers was a lot different than the blue classic experience - multiquesting and item recharging et al were more ubiquitous, competition was more extreme, and people were less friendly.
