Mob run speed?

You know? I don't think it's every zone. I was swarm kiting fine in Qeynos Hills and SK the other day. I actually believe the devs sped up the mobs in select zones where they do not want bards swarm kiting , to which I agree is a good thing as it forces bards at higher levels to be group friendly classes by "classic" design.

I don't know about that. Because, this last weekend I saw bards swarm kiting in FV and DL. Those are two HOT bard kite zones. I didn't check OT.

Well it is and it isnt. Yes, swarming is classic, but no casual hardware could support 100 mob swarms in 1999. You would lag and get killed before you got more than 20 or 30 mobs following you.

I invite you to pull out your dial up modem and play on that 486 pc that you played EQ on back in 1999 as well then.

I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but AMD K6 series and Intel 200/233 Mhz processors existed in 1999.

486 was several years old by the end of the 90s.

You may misunderstand what developers are in my statement. People are stating the developers of actual live everquest in classic didn't have the foresight to see what bard swarm kiting was capable of. I'm stating they didn't have the foresight to see what a lot of the mechanics are capable of doing in the long run, and this is like every other game created in the early days.

And I'm sorry but I've not seen many bards swarm kite mistmoore but they've been running like hell too.

Confirmed lol had a 200mhz intel with 64 megs of ram

[dafier]

I had a K6 300MHz with either 64 or 128 MBs

My ex had a Intel 200MHz with the same amount of RAM.

There was a noticeable difference in performance. AMD sucked back then

*Thumbs up* Bards shouldn't be able to kite whole zones!

Yes...they should. It's classic.
