If it's melee only like he says, it's probably the hardest of them all to code, it's probably a push effect of like .001 per swing with other math numbers for different kinds of attacks (such as bash etc).

I know a 2handed weapon had a slightly more effective push than a 1 hander. We use to use "2 planes" in my guild, evenly split the melee on either side to prevent it from going 1 way or another.

Working as intended now?

Any specific issues with push?

Push by PC's on NPC's seems fine.
Push by NPC's on PC's needs work (last I checked, it didn't exist on P1999?)

Push is terribad :/. On live it is quite possibly the most annoying mechanic ever. But yes it is classic.

I think this was added last week. Definitely getting pushed by NPC's now. Seems fairly accurate to me but may need a little more testing with higher HP raid mobs that flurry/quad once Velious is released.

Perhaps someone could test on the Mac server and compare to P99? (No Mac here ;/)

The biggest issue with push that will become extremely important in velious is that you can push mobs into walls. At present with 32k hp max it isn't such a huge deal but in future it will be when you try to put your back in a corner for say Avatar of War and your raid pushes it through you and then the wall.

Edit: Even now PCs can get summoned into walls by NPCs where it basically becomes impossible to get them out, once something with a large hitbox starts summoning you can't distance it fast enough before the ability to summon refreshes.
