That sounds like it was on live to me. I haven't been there yet, so I don't know what you mean about "crazy pathing," but there was always healing through walls.

As in a mob that is 15 feet in front of me running the complete opposite direction when pulled, going into rooms and bringing all his friends. These mechanics could be classic, but it's a pita without proper CC

Yeah, Tag lizard he runs about halfway between you and him towards you suddenly does a complete 180 and just takes off. must be some anti lizard force fields we just cant see and were making them go all the way around to get us!

I do remember healing through walls, but i also don't remember it being THIS bad. Also that caster mobs have access to spells they should, or at least back then see lguk frogs ice cometing, gives them access to stronger heals, and the range seems longer but thats probably just in my head.

The thing everyone seems to have issues with is the throne room which on live was a very difficult camp due to the zealots hitting super hard and mobs all being healer types.

I remember that zone being one of the places where a ranger/druid was key for pulling because they could harmony everything.

That said, i went there when i was low level and it was a horrible experience. Our group was a horrible comp though, no enchanter or bard, i was only healer. Something like necro, sk, rogue,war, cleric, monk.

If you went with a balanced group it probably wouldn't be horrible.

Have you been to CT here? It's a nightmare. Crazy pathing and mobs healing through walls. I think I tried to bring a group there once a few years ago and it ended fairly quickly to say the least

So EXACTLY like live. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not quite exactly; we have only 1/4 to 1/3 of the population that most Live servers had plus a smaller proportion of new players. Consequently there's no "overflow" to populate the second- and third-tier zones. Hence zones like Cazic and Permafrost go largely un-used. Lack of people is probably the largest impediment to doing these zones on P1999.

No, I meant the horrible, horrible pathing and healing through walls [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It's why I tried CT a few times on live and eventually gave up. Couldn't get a group cohesive enough to handle it.

Kerra Island. I had a blast PLing my chars there on live. Super exp. Easy kills. Always free [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Pretty sure I was there in my teens.

The Paw is one of my favorite zones. Good xp mod, mobs aren't too tough, whip drops are good cash to pet classes. I spent a ton of time there and different parts of the zone are good all the way from 25ish with a partner to 40s. Lake Rathe aviaks can be done high teens/early 20s.

My first gripe since starting Project 1999 last week is that we don't have the original Paw. You know the one that maybe 50 people visited ever who were actually low enough level. Well I went there any chance I got just because BB was usually overcrowded and Paw had so many of those snakes that dropped the high value snake fangs. It was probably for the best that they changed it, but I still miss it.
