30 units is 15% of normal hostile spell range. It is as small as it's intended to be.

Maybe, but then it seems like melee range is about 29.2 here. Mobs also move at a much faster rate for P99 than they did in Classic.

In classic I had to run and jump to get away from most mobs, or I had to strafe run. Here, you have to run and jump to get away from most mobs, or you have to strafe run. It's exactly the same as it was in classic. If you find you're moving very slowly you might want to use WinEQ2. See this thread: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3609

Why, were you encumbered? This is not the way I, nor the dozens of other posters I've seen automatically assuming faster mob run speed on P99, remember it. You jumped a few times to get ahead of the pack (running out of your yellow fatigue bar in the process), then coasted on auto-run to a zone line, and it would be fine.

Here, you turn around, take a few steps, and every mob in the game catches you within literally about two seconds. That is a gigantic disparity in run speed between here and Classic. Mobs should not be naturally faster than players. On P99 and R99, they are very much faster, I would say at least 10%.

If mobs were faster than players in original EQ, it would have to have been at most 2% for people to be able to auto-run to the zone line to remove aggro. The only time you died in such situations is if the mobs had their speed buffed or if you were too late initiating your escape.

If I have normal selos with no drum, mobs catch up to me with ease. I always thought that's weird too. Not encumbered. With drum it's fine, but with no drum, mobs catch up so easily i have to constantly jump with a loot .. not sure what's up with that.

There's definitely a trick to it I'm not giving away [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. It's a pain in the ass regardless and takes a ton of practice.

Not sure what trick he is talking about, but I have leveled without Selo's at any time in my kiting. You do not need it. Strafe run in a circle and keep them obs at a visible location in the bottom left or right corner of your screen. Once you figure out where the mobs have to be for the songs to land, you just keep them there.

Dude, don't reveal the secret, I don't want Cast to know that you can kite mobs without breaking your wrists.

I remember mobs always being able to catch me on live, unless i straifed. Not sure what you are talking about mob speed is correct.
