This sounds like it would be really easy to fix (unlike some things), just change a few numbers in the damage calculation.
AC does seem to have an effect on how often monsters hit you, though not as much as it should (low-level things surely shouldn't be able to hit you AT ALL with a really high AC) and it doesn't actually reduce the damage you take.
Another thing I noticed, combat skills don't seem to improve any more - in earlier versions of EQEmu I occasionally got a "Your combat skills have gone up (x)" message during combat.
