I bet this is the way it is. I tried hitting my 35th level monk friend with
a newbie ranger in the Arena in Qeynos and logged it. 343 attacks and zero
hits. We want to try again with 10 or so newbies and see if there is an AC
reduction for multiple attackers!

Well yes, but I was thinking more in terms of 1000 AC vs 1 Atk
not being 100% guaranteed to prevent being hit, while at the
same time 1 AC vs. 1000 Atk does not 100% guarantee a
successful hit. If you went with straight subtraction, you'd
have to apply a cutoff, beyond which extra AC or Atk just
doesn't matter. The few pieces of EQ's underlying number
system strongly suggests Verant wouldn't go for such a simple
solution.
