What's better? If the poster is referring to instancing being the solution to raids, I disagree. It might be the easiest answer, and thus the reason modern MMORPGs use it, but I don't think it's the only way. I think there's a big benefit from not having instancing in the form of meeting other players unexpectedly and even learning how to play well from them. This of course hits up against a wall when there's not enough content and not an easy fast way to travel to it.
Note I talk about the instancing/raid thing in the "Raiding" part of my signature.
Anyway, there's not much I hated when I was playing. No spellbook when you meditated? I was ok with that one. Maps in the cities? Fine with that. UI not like the one when EQ shipped? No problem. Screen not as dark if you're barbarian? Sure, why not. Spawns and items and other things not exactly the same as classic? It can't be perfect; it's impossible. The makers of p1999 have done a stellar job, though. They've come closer to classic than anybody else will.
You know one thing I missed most? The message boards didn't work! I remember long ago walking into the Lions Mane Inn in Qeynos and using one of those message boards. Back then this stuff was standard. UO had messages boards all over its cities. Even quests started on them!
I'd say what bothered me is what always bothered me: "Rangers suck and anyone who plays them sucks." Ok, so that means I suck because I enjoy what's fun.
