Of course EA would never tell players they would be subjected to a mob limit.
They actually fixed bugs to make sure AoE would work for players.

Any mob limit is not classic at all.

The 25 Mob AE Limit will be in place, but we will evaluate this and change as necessary.

We have received evidence that ALL spells and songs were limited to a max of 4 mobs per cast/pulse until September 1999. This will be in place for Launch.

Nobody in classic would have been able to pull 25 mobs and kite them.
I know, you did it in classic and had a DSL/T1 line and blah blah

No, you didn't and nobody did. Stop it lol

You're wrong 25+ mob trains used to happen constantly in classic. I remember Blackburrow trains when EQ first came out, every mob in the whole dungeon would get pulled to the entrance. Was on dial up and don't remember any problems aside from death.

There is nothing classic about mob limits period.

I didn't say you couldn't pull a train that big. Of course that was common!

I just wrote you couldn't pull that train and successfully kite it all.

Why couldn't you? If a player was skilled enough they could no problem.
The only reason nobody was doing it when the game first came out was because nobody knew how and didn't have levels or gear to do it.
Connection had little to do with it.

I remember playing UO a year before EQ came out with hundreds of players and mobs on the screen at once on dial up and that was hardly an issue either.

People not knowing how to do something is not the same as it can't be done. Don't mix these things up.

Except for the actual evidence showing the contrary linked to in this very thread.

You mean there was an unintended bug that got fixed?
And it only effected one bard spell.

The 4 mob limit bug was fixed in September of 1999 so don't worry, you'll be able to do aoe by Kunark.

The fact is you could of course pull more mobs then 25 back in 99 but no one had the computer or internet connection like today to actually kite it around without lagging themselves out and dying, no one in 1999 was kiting half a zone at a time and if you claim they were you definitely didnt play back then.
