Nah,

-ask a friendly spell caster for a vision buff (its why they have them)

-mage can summon a vision stone.

-find item that gives vision enhancement. Feel l33t because you can see.

Pretty sure this was due to a recent Windows update.

that is part of the argument for sure. Some want the game like it was or as close to it as possible. Others want something better than TLP but can do whatever and don't really sweat the details.

No doubt that is why the dragons are rooted currently.

That being said, what is classic?

I never even tried to kite 2 mobs using a PBAOE, let alone 25 on my 56k dialup single core CPU rig. I have drug 25+ mobs around classic though. I called it charm kiting, it had other names, and I could charm a mob, get 24 of it's former friends to beat it near death, use my fancy bracer and finish it with a single ranged DoT. It doesn't work on "classic" blue because the aggro mechanics aren't "classic" though. Maybe there are some missing paint stains on the exhaust system? You know what else I used to do is twist my low level levitate and speed song because even if I can't find enough proof to convince the paint stained exhaust devs, the only song that required a wind instrument was invisibility. There were other class tricks and other players who did amazing things and it was a unique time that can not be recreated.
The observation has already been made that classic EQ was the only classic EQ. P99 is an emulator for classic running in 2019 and is its own beast.

Edit: Its a shame Sony erased it or didn't even think of keeping a backup somewhere. Wouldn't be an argument over it, however arguing over it is part of P99 forum culture due to this.

Frogs are killing everything but other frogs and undead in TT. Not classic. Try proving it, though.

For those who've voted to make their voice heard and discussed this without barrier aggression, thank you. I also appreciate all the people who love refrigerators. If you don't know why that's an option, I included it as a joke in reference to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiC8pig6PGE

Also of note, WoW classic is pretty good. Been making dynamite as a dwarf rogue and throwing it at people. I had never played WoW before until this weekend after some buddies convinced me to try it since I was already getting burnt out on p99 and this whole pet window thing just dropped the last feather on my patience. It's funny when this game is called "Everquest" but WoW has wayyyyyyyy more quests! Almost always something to do besides just killing mobs.

Yup, P99 is a niche server for people passionate about *EverQuest*. I wouldn’t recommend it for people who would be happy playing any old MMO.

who ever said make hotkeys you are all pretty dumb

u cant use those while casting / performing actions

but you can use the pet window

i get it they want the game to get harder, but please don't think make hotkeys is a solution

You can use the hotkeys for pet commands while casting. Not sure if you couldn't when patch came out and the changed it, or if I was mistaken when I thought you couldn't, but you can now.

You just have to click them rather than use keyboard to activate them; which is the same as when we still had pet window.
