1. No one is here to play your static snapshot of nostalgia any more than they are here to play mine. This server is not all about you and what "classic" subjectively means to you; EQ is many things and many feels to many different people for many different reasons. Most overlaps, but some doesn't.

2. "Classic You" would have sht their gamer pants over this logfile GPS hack for exactly the same reason Classic You printed out the entire EQAtlas site. For the daily classic player, utterly shameless spoilers were a given, remember? So long as it obeys EULA, anti-spoiler = anti-classic.

3. Logfile GPS was technically possible in '99 and just because it didn't bubble up to the surface doesn't mean it's "not classic". Have you listened to the description of it? Binding loc to movement keys, community programmers hacking log files into a makeshift GPS to produce a crude live map? Sht is classic af.

4. 100% parity with your nostalgia isn't necessary to recapture the fun of classic. You're playing P99 in 2014, not EQ in 1999. It's close, but it's not literally the same in every detail and it never will be. So ease up on the Captain Classic zealotry, it's a guaranteed path to your own disappointment.

5. No one wants to see P99 burn. Just because someone has a different definition of classic from yours doesn't mean that person respects classic / P99 less than you. We all respect it, that's why we're here. So long as it follows the rules, have a little faith & flexibility in the community when it comes to changes that deviate from your expectations of the perfect classic experience (see: #4)
