Recently the staff had internal discussions related to the effectiveness of various AE methods being used by players, specifically that the number of mobs being killed at once far exceeded what was possible back in the day of classic Everquest. When determining what prevented this from being possible during Classic, we found that it was not necessarily mechanical, but more technological reasons that limited it. For example, having 100 mobs in one tiny area would not have happened back then for several reasons such as PC Processing power (CPU/Video constraints), networking bandwidth requriements (56k lol), and quite possibly server limitations at the time as well.

FUCK YES
Anyone complaining about this change needs to be taking outside and beaten with a hose. It's a huge improvement to both classicness and balance.

We'll see a much more classic raiding and 50+ leveling environment, and there will be more actual mobilizing and racing for mobs rather than just logging into various strategically located alts.
