Can someone inform me on what is considered classic eq?
I read all suggestions and i can understand the points but what exactly is classic, everything up until the very first patch, the first month of play or everything up until but not including the first expansion?
Or is EQ + the first two expansions classic? What date in time did classic end?
Please enlighten me.

Good Lowly Molly ,
whew, talk about some classic indecision ....
Think i can lead you in the right direct Weider.
To start
"The original design is credited to Brad McQuaid, Steve Clover, and Bill Trost. It was developed by Sony's 989 Studios and its early-1999 spin-off Verant Interactive, and published by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE).
Its acquisition of Verant in late 1999, SOE develops, runs, and distributes EverQuest.
The UI thats being discussed is the old Verant design that sony slowly changed over the course of time for technology / monitor resolution purposes.
pic here of a in-game velious scrennie. Sony had RIGHTS to this game at this time, no one forget that, don't care who thinks who is.

Look for
The Tattered Notebook, its been passed around a lot and ended up in joystiqs hands, its truly tattered. If anyone cared to know what happened to it, its found there with joystiq. Joystiq is big players now bought tons of stuff, anyways....
Dig through that you will find every answer ever needed. Stepping into SoV is now stepping into Sony territory. For what ever reason someone decided to not like them it shouldn't be the UI's fault, it was about the only improvement the player base eventually saw.
The game while in Verants hands only ran at 640x480 resolution, the UI was broken apart to allow max resolution of 800x600
What you would need to actually pull that off...

If the game is still going to support the higher resolutions there shouldnt be any problems, if someone trys to change whats built into titanium_Client don't worry, the servers wont even connect to players with file sets so far off. Thats a server-to-client fact, hopefully new game files will be released, they would have to.
Its a very classic experience, people should say thankyou for just seeing it don't knock it if you haven't tried it, this game used to be very fun
with a real feel to it that i found while enjoying myself on a free server players won't find on any live server.
I played with the default old.ui until the live servers forced my hand into playing with the new one.
