Uth - as much as I agree with you on other things, you're not gonna make something true just by repeating it over and over [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 6 seconds summon interval is not classic - apart from possibly CT himself and a few other bossmobs.

The only reason I won't argue for this anymore is because it's neither my server not am I asked to pay for it - so I'm not gonna rant about decisions made.

Kind regards

Im always interested by people who have such adamant accounts of the way things were...

Don't give up Slozem, just post some evidence!

[Uthgaard]

We aren't obligated to provide proof every time someone posts a bug thread. (Even though in this case, we have)
You are obligated to provide proof that it was different. You have not. (Because you can't)

Secretly I wanted to watch his ennui as he fought the uphill struggle against the better informed tyrants who reign supreme above us.

Phew, that was a mouth full.

I too remember summons happening longer than 6 seconds. I use to solo in seblis as a wizard and having time to sunstrike between summons. Same thing with some mobs in fear especially the fingers.

Farming haste belts in seb was all the craze, and as a geared out wizard I could. I'll try and find proof but this is one of those things not well documented knowledge.

Thanks Droxx - although interestingly enough most of this refers to planes of power, which is the first expansion I remember to have shorter summon intervals [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But that is also hinted at by some comments in the links you provided.

Either way - I'd say there's enough evidence in this thread to support the bug report, what the devs make of it is up to them. If the server is not meant to be true classic, but rather some kind of "balanced classic" - then so be it.

Its funny how 'special' uthgaard is.

6sec is wrong. Its well known. But uth is such a twit who trolls bugs section all day now instead of doing something useful that its futile to argue.

I'll donate $100 to the server every month to see him banned from the forums and games. What a cock.
