Can someone answer this, keeping in mind that I am only referring to cosmetic/QoL choices, and nothing relating to core gameplay or its mechanics?



Why does the opinion of those individuals who matter seem to be that "Classic was infallible and perfect and any attempts to improve on it must be shot dead." Anyone who EVER looks to improve a single piece of classic outside of game play and mechanics is categorized as a traitor it seems. These are only simple QoI improvements here, not DTing raid targets and warping through zones.

Verant, McQuade and whoever else was not infallible, was not perfect, and likely was restricted to a very specific toolbox due to budgets, technological constraints and time. What the poopsock is wrong with utilizing "newer" UI code, and /dragging of corpses (as a limited example)?

You have the ability to go so far beyond turning this into a carbon copy clusterfuck of antiquated norms and poor design choices, you can make it into what Everquest could have initially been if they had the time, insight, and knowledge. Yet I all here is "Fuck your custom UI's, Fuck your ability to hide your helmet, and most of all fuck Bards".

Why? If you want to get technical the phrase was "Fuck Monks." not bards.



If you want a classic UI, install one, they already exist. If you want to look at a spell-book as you meditate, tape a photo of Honey Boo-Boo to your monitor. That should be sufficient in size to hide most everything even on an eyefinity setup.

If you want to adhere so perfectly to 1999 EQ, that is your prerogative not mine as I contribute nothing productive to this and am not claiming otherwise. But why are you looking for force us to endure a "classic" UI, and intentionally breaking some of the improvements to the client that are present in Titanium...but you have no issue nerfing abilities and classes and techniques that were never changed in Classic?

Must be that time of the month for me, just don't forget that I do love everyone, even bards.

Thats what I was trying to tell you. The PURPOSE of this server is to replicate classic. Not to be a enjoyable place to play for people who just want the good parts of classic. As it happens, I agree with you, there are things I wish they would change ( or leave ) but thats not the deal.
