That is true, and I wasn't expecting it to be the same, just to use the eqemu code as a possible guide for testing. There are some definite differences (for one, P99 doesn't seem to have a level difference cap; I was able to steal from level 40 guards at level 23. Also, I'm pretty sure the number of coins stolen algorithm is different). However, the possible issue of not being able to steal items from creatures under level 19 seems to be both there and in the eqemu source.
I don't know what live EQ behavior was in this regard; maybe it is supposed to be that way? It still seems kind of strange though, that the formula on whether you can steal items reduces down to a level check on the target.
