I started a necro and have really been enjoying the character. Ive been trying to find a way to have Dot dmg show up in a text window but have not found any way to do it. Did some research and adjusted all the settings and nothing. I came across some info saying that Dot damage has been removed and will not be displayed. Is this true and if not how do I get Dot dmg to show?

that feature was removed for not being classic. The best you can do is use GINA timers to track the durations of spells to what you think they should be according to wiki

Dot ticks being displayed wasnt added until a patch in 2003

Ok that's pretty much what I concluded. I use GINA and it's helpful for sure. Still learning the program so all my timers are grouped together (buffs, Dots, ect). Will be better when I get them separated/different colors. Thanks.

The thing about the pet window was that it was almost classic. It was released very shortly into Luclin, and since A) people were used to it here, B) custom UIs were similarly "almost but not quite" classic, they made an exception for Blue/Red only (as both servers are already unclassic due to seven years of Kunark and such, so letting them go a month or two past classic was deemed acceptable).

The customers is all ways right ..just put in back! ... its not that hard IF U want classic go play on green tbh

Maybe you missed the part where customers pay for things. No one here is a customer: we're all just moochers leaching off the largess of someone who's putting a free game up for us to play.

1. Luclin is later Blue server so again wanna play classic go green. any one i talk to says that blue server is not classic and yes i was here 20 years ago only Reason they put it back in was they forums was glowing red and all the /pettions they get.. they even came out with plz stop /pettions about the window we looking into it.. so the people sad this have to change so they put it back in and the players was happy again. a lot of people wanted to quit over this..

2. if there was no players around there no game. so we are in some way customers, common sense

I just find it funny that they'll be nazi about relatively minor "unclassic" things like dotdamage meanwhile stuff like mobs falling through the world and unclassic loot tables and quests and melee damage are flagrant problems
