Anyone else not getting interrupted from bashes?

Both. This is the odd state of P99. Players are OP and the staff, instead of fixing the major issues that are well documented and explain why players are OP, they make odd tweaks to the NPCs to make them more powerful.

This is how P99 settled on the bizarre bastardized non classic mechanics it has now. Players interrupting casters too easy? Don't fix the bugs that make players OP and would then make this balanced, instead make it so NPCs can't be interrupted so easy.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Daybreak broke P99. Whatever it is in the "agreement" I'm sure they're also not allowed to talk about it. P99 is probably kept alive by Daybreak to avoid someone else who is outside their legal jurisdiction from creating a better emulator.

I agree with larger swaths of what you've written, but I think claiming "Daybreak broke P99" is a bit hyperbolic.

By all accounts, P99 is at least 90% like classic EQ. Even if the Daybreak agreement somehow said "P99 can't get more classic" (which I rather doubt) ... being stuck at 90% certainly doesn't equate to "broken".

My immersion is ruined.

It's classic, most people just didn't realize it.

No. I've been down this road enough times. It is provably not classic. Feel free to review the bug report forum.

Im thinking daybreak deal is making p99 stuck where it is, no resets, no wipes. Only nerfs. And no talking about it, because the devs have been completely silent for years now. No one knows whats going on.

I think it is something like this. If I had to make a realistic guess the agreement limited P99 in some way that just killed the devs motivation. They wanted to do XYZ things and Daybreak said no, you will never do that, ever. The devs realizing they could never modify the client or do whatever changes it was they wanted to do in order to realize "the vision" just stopped caring. So they put in a bit of effort to keep things moving but the passion is gone forever.

Like you put 10 years into a project then a corporation takes a big steamy dump on it and tells you to keep on adjusting vendor muffin quantities as much as you want as long as you never touch the client side code again.

It is probably not classic.

Root proximity aggro is absolutely classic. I was constantly instructing people on how to do it back then.
