Any spell from level 49 and below could be cast on anyone regardless of level. However, level 50+ spells had restrictions.
Fixed, pending update.

Too bad this has no right in being within any patch on this server prior to a PoP release

Read the thread. You can still cast group buffs on < 49.

Actually that was halfway through LoY that they added that little tidbit. Temperance.

about time mobs get mana lowered

These changes are awesome, classic, and will make EQ somewhat more difficult (just like it really was on live). Why the complaints lol? Saying it's a "waste of developers time" or "just doesn't make sense" (my favorite right there) is pretty silly and I'm guessing a self serving justification to complain.

My recommendation first, for anyone who thinks these changes aren't classic, is to go read the bug threads for them to see the discussion/evidence posted. If you have evidence which contradicts the changes, post it, don't just complain about it here. For example, there is NO DOUBT single target 50+ buffs couldn't be cast on noobs in kunark timeline. Likewise with tracking. Classically tracking had no scroll bar so you could only see a limited number of results, meaning druids with their crappy 25 or 50 range track were actually better trackers, since their results were more relevant (ie closer).

The only legitimate/understandable complaint here is it doesnt hurt all the people who have spent years abusing these incorrect mechanics for personal gain as much as newer people. I can understand why that is upsetting. But that's not a good reason not to make the change. The goal of this server is to emulate classic EQ, the server's about to get more classic. Things will me much less exploitable, bigger groups or more time will be required to do stuff, many trivial accomplishments will now take more work., in a classically accurate sense. Despite the severe nerfs to the classes I love the most, I'm psyched [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My only real concern is I think this will potentially drive a lot of people to risk cheating, especially people who own dozens of accounts they don't give a crap about who need tracking to know when raids mobs are up for their precious pixels. I hope Ephi is ready with his mighty banhammer to smite the increased number of evildoers out there into oblivion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Totally agreed with this post, even though animals not using weapons anymore is going to absolutely blow.

But, when you're right, you're right.
