On live, if you went a certain distance from mobs they would stop actively pursuing you until you came back into that certain distance. Not sure p99 has that function or if it ever will; not exactly sure when it was added on live. I want to say it was added in Kunark, though.

I also don't know that Chardok is necessarily a big enough zone for that to happen though. Usually, with a snared mob/sow on, it took like 3-4 minutes of running before a mob would stop pursuing. As soon as you came back within that range though, it would start the chase all over again.
Can't say how far it extended but you could definitely single pull Overking with pacify and root using the no chase code. We did it and there's plenty of in era posts about doing it to show that it was done often.

...whaaat? The cleric heals the ench. Clr now has secondary aggro. Enc takes rez box and clears it. Now he's factioned and cleared so he can do whatever the fuck he wants. It's the exact same as the feigners, but without feign. Shaman are as good as anyone else really for pulling if they have a rez box. Furthermore, assiduous vision would provide a way to pet attack if the change you're suggesting with pets even went in.
Yeah except if you were on live the cleric would get aggro but the mobs being outside of lazy aggro range would add the cleric to the hate list and only pursue if the cleric got into lazy aggro range.

The same thing goes for the vid. It only works because mobs pursue no matter how far you are from them on P1999.

And there were no changes "put in" they were always in from day 1 of kunark.

Yeah, I don't think AE groups happened on live in this era either.

No proof though, so its probably not going anywhere.

I think the main difference between live and here is the resists. The earliest AE groups that I remember were in velious and they had like atleast 5-6 enchanters for stuns due to the insane amount of resists you got even at 60.

I'm pretty sure the shitty ass computers and connections most people had on live is what really made AE groups impossible, though.

It bothers me that you cant rarely find a needed class, or when you find your needed class level 57/58 just takes off you because oh dudes Ive been called to do Chardok AOE peace....It was very annoying always trying replace clerics, and chanters because chardok AOE would say hey want afk exp?

Id like this looked at and possibly done as a way to clear to royals or something but not as a form of a quick hit to 60. If you look at the history of EQ, any form of quick hitting for exps was always nerfed, and nerfed hard. AoE was something of an idea for a raid to use time to time. and it was treated as such. Earthshaker pulling during the lvl 70/75 era of EQ Was nerfed when people were mastering 200 to 300 mob pulls from 2 earthshaker carring warriors in the Hive instances...(I know because I was one of them players who had 2 earthshakers)
