I know exactly the situation this is referencing. Would be great to have it era locked.

You are my hero. Make it clunky AF, just as Verant intended.

It's fine if you're sitting still. Trying to run around is a different story. This is assuming you're using right click to steer

I quadded my way to 58 on live using F9

BUT we're gonna have you sit at a table with your mom and your stepdad and discuss why you're failing history while watching reruns of ren and stipmy in the background, and you must find and use the same (or very similar) bowl and spoon you did on April 19, 1999. Otherwise, too bad!"

No, that doesn't really work. You get to play in the comfort of your own home, playing with awesome 2020 PC equipment, you get to use high speed internet and we never have to deal with weekly server maintenance. You already get to enjoy the advancements of the last twenty years.

This is more like you had a favorite cereal, but it cut the roof of your mouth. But you ate it anyway because it was better than any other cereals before or since.

However, twenty years ago they changed the formula to prevent it from cutting the roof of your mouth, but in the process made the cereal taste terrible.

Now someone is looking to make a cereal that tastes as close as possible to that original great tasting cereal and all you can do is complain that it cuts the roof of your mouth again.

You will now have the option to bind cycle through PC and NPC targets to a hot key of your choice. You can hit your select nearest target key at any time, during cycling, to reset the cycle.

April 4th, 2004, roughly 5 years after 1999 release.

Blue launched in October 2009. Current date: September 30, 2019.

So it was "classic" to wait 5 years for tab target cycle. Twice that of time has elapsed on blue. By now we should have it anyway, right? ;)

I say this to point to the absurdity of trying to enforce timelines of classic on a server that has lived for 10 years, but refused to progress past Velius (a fine choice). Do the full blown classic thing on green with a fresh timeline, sure, that is the point. But what is the point of enforcing that on Blue now? Just my 2c.

Rogean already stated they will talk about keeping blue one way and green another in this fashion. Relax.

I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with classic.

As to all the people that can't hack it in real classic good news: play a rogue. I'm being tongue and cheek, but casters were a PITA to play in classic compared to melee and this is only one of the reasons why. One of the biggest balances on classes like chanter on live classic is that the UI was clumsy and mostly bad.

There is a reason why "good" enchanters and bards were rare in real classic...and a reason why good cc was hard to come by.

If you can't hang don't roll your chanter on day 1...wait till it gets easy mode later on.

I hope they keep it out for green launch.

please use the .dll to stop p99 from loading if people have voice comms going

ban skype, discord, teamspeak, mumble, ventrillo

better ban winEQ2, playing window mode is not classic
