That classic UI was already pretty terrible back then and I remember using the full screen UI they had in Kunark.
1280x1024 was the shit, and absolutely viable and available when EQ came out but it was also painful to use as most monitors could only push it at 60hz instead of 75-85hz. Anyone miss that gentle flickering and heavy dose of radiation from our trusty CRTs?
