We don’t know important mob stats like their accuracy, avoidance, attack or mitigation. These values being ‘best guesses’ means no matter how well implemented accurate damage in/out by players no matter how classic the rest of the melee system is.

Did my ring10 on Povar in 2001. First of all, cable/DSL were already common by then, so your gripe about dialup is just wrong. People weren't disconnecting for Ringwar. Performance issues back then were more related to the graphical load from many players, not internet latency. I remember getting something like 3-5 FPS during the SK BOTB in Arena, and that was playing top-down view to minimize the amount of models on screen having to be drawn.

Ring War isn't done much differently on p99 than it was on Live. Instead of actively kiting high priests, they were just fought and killed in camp but separate enough to not heal others. And instead of actively running to each new wave spawn, fighting just occurred out front along the river.

God I love the slow moving health bars, not this instant update bullshit we have.

Casually walk in, group CH, noone feared. Dragon facing everyone, noone taking obscene damage. Just full chill spec.

P99 is outright broken, always has been. But videos like that are glorious reminders of what EQ was, and what P99 was meant to be, and never became.

Not sure what all this bs is that people were wearing bronze to ToV and shit. I started in Kunark and by late Kunark/early Velious the resident uber guild members were all rocking full planar suits. I remember memorizing how to recognize a class by armor, like purple clerics.

Now that you mention it, I do vividly recall soloing ToV raid mobs on a Warrior in Banded during Velious, personally.

Kinda true for me... I didn’t even buy SoV until LoY/LDON era cos an expansion worth of the everfrost area sounded BORING!
