But my point being that those things that I listed were original game mechanics. They should be fixing those first before aesthetics which do not hinder anyone's game experience. As I said before, I believe most people who think of "classic" EQ simply want a "classic" game mechanics server; and better aesthetics would only serve to better the enjoyment of a classic server. Want proof? Just head over to the EQ Next forums and read all the posts on how EQ Next should go back to it's roots. They certainly imply the old game mechanics, but certainly not the dated graphics.

That said, why not just implement a /toggle switch to satisfy all who play P99? And as far as classic is concerned, EQ only became "unclassic" when they started with WoW and other modern MMO ideas like bazaar, PoK knowledge books and mercenaries. The updated graphics certainly didn't affect the game play.
