How to open multiple hotbars?

[monchild]

I've been trying various custom UI's in addition to default, and can't open multiple hotbars. I'm getting really frustrated because I've been researching for hours and keep downloading files people say and nothing seems to work. I've set keybindings to open hotbar 2-4 and still nothing. Thanks in advance for any help, i'm losing my mind.

All I want is to be able to play with 2 horizontal hotbars. I remember a few years ago playing this and never had issues with any UI stuff. Apparently something has changed, maybe with newer patch files?

They removed them.

Multiple hotbars were too far outside the timeline for Blue/Red and not inside the Classic - Velious timeline for Green.
As such they've been 'hard' removed/turned off.

Wow, looks like I won't be playing again after all. :( Thanks for the quick responses.

It's really not a deal breaker in my opinion & I use to use 3 hotbars total on blue.
Something to get use to at worst.

I now use 1 hotbar and Shift+Number to cycle through the one hotbar.
I also use the macro tab on the social window.

In all honesty, if you played a lot after 2001, and your goal is to re-experience that EverQuest, the live servers are probably a much better place to do so (even though they'll also have stuff from 2010+, like mercenaries).

This place is for people who want EQ the way it was from 1999-2001.

man I knew something felt off with my UI after 3 years.. Not a huge issue, slightly annoying but just have to make more hotkey

used to be able to force them open by altering the xml code. i think they blocked that too though.

My fav is how some changes are made for the sake of QoL(quality of life), yet more hotbars can easily fall under QoL changes, but that would not be classic.

Just hold shift and hit a number and it changes the page.

Yeah, I've know of that but who knew Everquest would have turned into a modern MMO with more thank 10 hotbars.

I use my socials as hot buttons , a page for groups , a page for solo , a page for undead etc, gives plenty of buttons and using the duxa ui or qq ui gives you the inventory slots and that frees up some hot bar slots.

Ahh finally found the answer to this! More Macro's it is >:D

I keep my social key box open all the time so I have access to a bunch of emotes and macros but anything more then that wouldn't be classic.

In terms of QoL stuff, I wish we had /melody so I could play a bard again but I understand why we don't. I really can't complain about changes made when we aren't staring at a full screen spell book for two/thirds of the life of a caster.
