i would solo RCY in KC on my necro by standing on top of the overhang and strafing so mobs couldnt get to me. GM came and told me to stop or get banned...the description in your question sounds like the same thing to me so i would assume its illegal. but maybe it depends on your end goal, be it to gain exp, stall mobs, or just not die.

TL;DR most of the thread... happy spots have been considered exploits in the past.

To my original point though, if a GM rules that "doing X at Y while fighting Z" is against the rules then it is. A GM showed up and told you just that. If you went back the week after and did the same thing you should be suspended. GMs watch raid guilds pretty closely here, they could (and maybe do) make comments regarding this. | |||

Re: root the dragons: what exactly would that solve? You spend 2 hours clearing trash and a guild leap frogs over you for the FTE. It’s almost as if the game mechanics are so primitive that you need a brittle jenga tower of rules to support basic raiding

I found a spot in Paludal Caverns on Rallos Zek, circa 2002 or 2003 where you could do this. I used it for a day or 2 on my Druid while DoT’ing the pathing confused mobs, got a visit by a GM and told it was against the rulez and not to do it again, and a patch or two later they fixed it. Not that I ever tried it again.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

these glitches on live were eventually patched or fixed, but this is project1999 where the purposely added glitches like the problem with the Firiona Vie boat back in to the game. Therefore yes while these mechanics may be considered illegal on a official server. They wanted p99 to be like eq in fact was in 1999 so much of this stuff is legal and not patched. If you find a bug that you think is serious petition the exploit thread of this forum and get screen recording for evidence.

I remember doing this in like 1999-2000 in the gorge of king xorb on low level toons, there was this one really wonky nexus that made it super easy. This is definitely a classic feature. IMO though p99 has a lot more pathing errors than sony had in 2001 and we should petition these error spots as much as possible and hope someone fixes them.
That said crushbone's back wall area is still busted as heck and makes orcs warp around and it's one of the most basic zones in the game, so I don't have high hopes at fixing them all. Although I have to say, maybe my petitions about these issues were too poorly written to be of any use, sorry for anyone who had to read them. tl;dr. I think this is legal, but only if you report it to GMs and they don't tell you to stop/fix it. | ||
