Evidence of Sneak Pulling from old website
One of my favorite past times is stumbling across old websites about EQ that are somehow still up and operating.
I recently found this gem: https://teir-dal.tripod.com/index.html What is interesting is the bit they have about sneak pulling: Quote:

First I checked Google, but ... "teir-dal.tripod.com was first indexed by Google more than 10 years ago" was all it offered. Similarly the Wayback Machine, which would normally be perfect for this, didn't start archiving the site until 2011: https://web.archive.org/web/20110501...dal.tripod.com. No help there ... and of course the sneak pulling page itself has no dates on it, even in the source code.
But, the page does have a link to clear out-of-era content: this page for the Rogue epic "1.0" (2005). If I were Nilbog, my default assumption would be that the sneak pulling page is similarly out-of-era. AFAIK there's no way to date that specific page, but maybe someone else will have a better idea.

Man, forget P99, I miss the days when the internet looked like that page.

I already found rock solid evidence on an even cooler and older site much like that one. And it was talked about like for an entire month in 2 subforuns.
I'm pretty sure sneak pulling will remain nerfed as it's necessary for the p99 raid scene to get their jollies from rooted dragons and /lists. | ||

I remember sneak pull being a thing on blue back in the day and it was awesome for halfling warriors. Why was it nerfed anyway ? What was the evidence saying not classic?

i suspect they nerfed it because it trivialized too much content and allowed for massive farming of highly sought after mobs.

SoulFire nerf felt classic, still does. Epic level equip requirement felt classic, still does. The spirit of classic and the original vision are open to interpretation but it isn't as if McQuaid and company didn't comment on some of this stuff. Lay Hands was specifically kept from being a true complete heal long before the game went from paper to computer screen. The devs didn't want a queue of paladins LHing the main assist, dying, and LHing again. All/All SoulFire was worse. It's a game, an interactive piece of art, not a specimen in formaldehyde. We have custom UIs, GINA, Better Pixels, Wiki guides. Even the original composer, Jay Barbeau, is going back through his songs and breathing new life into them. Does he lose credibility because of the technical limitations back then that hemmed in his creative choices?
