Maybe staff didn't receive their monthly cut? Or maybe mortgages all paid of?

If the Devs didn't want AOE's then they wouldn't of added them to the game. AOE is classic, been doing massive AOE's in EQ since mid 2000. Granted back in the day I would have to stare at floor when mobs were in but we did AOE.

Not from 2000, but guide from late 2001 calling Sebilis AOE "evolving and an everyday event". "Sebilis AoE - The how to, Quellious server" http://www.graffe.com/forums/showthr...ellious-server

I realize that's a bit later in the timeline than we are but two other threads from same site "What is the perfect AE group"and "AOE group - specifics on Enchanters role?" (http://www.graffe.com/forums/showthr...chanter-s-role ) are from earlier 2001 about where we are and judging by responses in those threads it was not brand new.



Granted I think Chardok was terrible for the server and didnt think AOE like that was classic either and these threads mention smaller scales (one says 35, one says 25) but knowing the classic EQ player base and the advances to technology around that time doubt it took long until they were doing 50+ mobs.

On another note, bards that are dicks and swarm in zones like Oasis or during peak hours Dreadlands will likely continue to be dicks and continue making everyone hate bards

In those threads they are talking about pulling 5 at once. A small yet significant difference from 150 in Chardok . . .

From your own source:

"5. Don't get greedy. Pull in small groups and lock your mobs down. I would rather pull two-four at a time and have one enc on stun duty and the other on mez to lock them down than drop because my greedy ass went for the new world record. You can pull every mob in sebilis not behind a locked door with patience. If the puller drops then it doesn't take long for things to go awry. AoE doesn't allow for mistakes, and the punishment is severe."

LOL.

Looting ~ ALWAYS hook up the cleric with the first few gems. Especially in sebilis, they drop every 2 seconds when you're pulling up to 40.

That's 40, not 4.

When you have 800 points of epic skin to save your ass before you start getting hit, and 20 mobs on you that hit for 100+ all it takes is one stun and you will be dead in 2 seconds.

^^20

I've seen people use AE spells that hit four targets. I've seen enchanters think they're supposed to AE mez instead of stun when there's 20 on them.

^^ 20, specifically mentions people fucking up only using a 4 target AOE.

It can be very nice to see Cobalt Vambraces, a Bonecasters Robe, Cane of the Tranquil, 4 BD's, 2 Black sapphires, a Seb mantle, Book of Obulous, about 5 spells, 3 diamonds, and 30 or so random other gems drop off of one amazing pull.

Yup clearly they were only pulling 2-4 mobs at a time.

After all, you want the biggest train possible, don't you? =P

I like how you literally didn't read one fuckin word you disagreed with then told me to read before I post.

Given those things you've quoted, do you think a cap of 25 or 145 is more accurate?
