Secrets of Mage-y goodness

For the original question: Mages quite simply are very OP. IMO Their abilites don't allign with Verant's vision (social / group focus) as they can make it 50 faster than any other class without ever having to group. (Guess you can tell I have mage envy here)

Really it doesn't make sense for hybrids to get a huge xp penalty while they still need groups to level effectively. Yet clases that can easily solo (Druid, Mage, Necro) in some cases get xp bonuses due to race selection. Mages/Necros should have to share the xp from a kill with their pet.

I still insist that the pets on this server are far more deadly than they ever were on live from 99-01.

Ya they should include all the bugs that went with pets on live and the horrible trains they cause and it would be about equal =P

Not even close. Pre-nerf 49 necro pets on live with two fine steel daggers would absolutely level Lower Guk deadside... with extreme prejudice. On here caster pets are still heads and tails above PC melee, but i mean.... if you didn't witness actual mage and necro pets in early 1999, I don't know what to tell you. Words don't describe.

Don't remember when it was, but it was sometime in early classic...a patch fked up necros...made it so they could have as many pets up as they wanted o_O. Lasted for a few days, too..messed up :P The horde was a nice touch--probably a forerunner to the PoP swarm pets D=
