Server not very classic so yeah pet fixes should happen. Obviously pets should never be able to zone though.

The PVP aspects aside, nobody seems to be mentioning how stupidly OP mages were upon P99 launch. You could take a naked mage: Use your pet to rape through basically whatever zone you chose, farm Freeport guards till you could do specs, rape specs till lvl 50, make a bunch of plat along the way, then sell your toon in EC tunnel for plat/trade for harder to level characters. Legally. Rinse and repeat.

It was a huge moneymaker and/or account collector. If you were min/max or profit oriented it was almost stupid to play any character other than a mage until various nerfs were implemented.

In economic terms, they call that kicking away the ladder. Use a certain set of rules to set yourself up for success, then once your on top, change the rules so others have it more difficult. Welcome to capitalism! Er, I mean P99.

All hate aside, I still love this server and have and will donate again. Don't ban me! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yea, that's the thing - it's a modernized version of classic to better suit 30 year olds instead of 13 year olds (queued /tell's, higher resolutions, keep bard selos root break fixed at vanilla launch, item links from vanilla launch, and so on).

Zoning pets I could see drama causing and a bit of OP, but at the minimum, I believe they should take away the charm poofing. I'd love to play a mage again, but just like everyone else thinking the same, why would we? Spend 50% of your mana and 5 minutes summoning a pet, buffing it, giving it weps, to have it poof, effortlessly, by a bard or chanter.

Yea every class has their "oh shit they're gonna kill me" class, but it shouldn't be a click poof like this. This should be patched asap so we can finally let mages have a chance on this server without being epic.
