Also. FYI. In a dungeon, the chase distance is actual pathing distance. Not straight line distance. It is not a simple mechanic to reproduce. More data is needed for raid mobs. So it will likely require several updates. Then people will exploit mechanics. Get banned. Making more changes needed. It is such fun, trying to predict what FTE exploit is next.

It requires multiple chars. Watching when they stop following. Since I am also a dev for showeq, i usually use myseq on multiple chars to figure out where they stopped chasing. In dungeons i get on a test emu box then, and use some specialized commands to calc pathing distance between multiple points. Its really a pain in the ass actually.

I'm pretty sure Lazy aggro went in after Luclin was released.

This breaks a fundamental mechanic that contributes setting classic EQ apart from most/all comparable MMORPG out there.

Please consider restricting lazy aggro to relevant zones such as ToV. <3

Ask anyone who played before Luclin was released and I'm sure they will confirm that once you aggroed a mob, you could run away from him from as long as you'd like, the mob would never forget you.

It's something that has been added WAY past Luclin release.

That's not proof

There are a lot of posts pre-luclin supporting this.

So saying your memory is more correct than posts from that era isn't proof.

Link to one which is convincingly dated and I'll eat my hat.

Actual firsthand witness isn't proof? Of course it is.
