Was it a classic mechanic for roots (and snares) to last their normal durations even when the caster had logged out or zoned? I can't remember if using roots/snares to keep mobs at zonelines as a splitting tactic was something from classic or just from early blue or what.

On green currently, for sure, roots TEND to break early if the caster zones or logs (actually I guess I've only been logging, not zoning, so I'm not sure if there is a difference there), even when the mobs are greens and MR debuffed.

Possibly? At one point in classic you were able to buff mobs and give them gear to equip, and the buffs would last even if you left the zone IIRC, so I would assume root and snare would've operated similarly?

On Blue, Snare/Ensnare seemed to last the duration even when you zoned, because I would have to zone occasionally while quadding and would come back and those mobs would still be Ensnared.
