Somewhere in velious maybe, they went to no LoS checks for whatever reason and it was insane.

You have two directions go here on red p1999:

1) How it was on eqlive during classic which would include no one knowing about any quests, drops or zones (probably impossible).

2) Have a balanced server that is competitive.

Wehr, you're playing for the first option. The resist system worked then because no one had the gear. It won't work now because everyone knows where it is and how to attain it.

It sounds like others are interested in the second option and I would agree. Make it balanced which means, among other things, having a higher resist check for spells across the board and also having the first LoS check only.

Hard to argue logic with stubborn people, but xeb eloquently does a crossover layup in wehrmachts face.
