Not everything that happened post 1999 was Bazaar and Nexus-y. Some of it was simply just UI updates and devs going 'Jeez, this prob doesnt need to be this annoying. It's not like we're Amish here".

Thank you. Keep it Real. But not 'too' Real. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Good post Miley. I have been trying to elucidate this logic to people for a while. Making the game more fun while keeping it non-WoWlike or Luclin-like is doable with some of the AWESOME changes Sony instituted. Purple item linking text makes selling/buying smoother, spellsets make things smoother, improved velious UI makes things smoother. When I started EQ in 1998 beta, I was slightly annoyed at the choppiness to gameplay/interface, however the game was so good I was hooked. In the original Diablo, you had to click the mouse incessantly to kill monsters, but in Diablo 2 you could just hold down the mouse button. Maybe the most prudent change in video game history, hehe. (although now and then I miss the tap-tap-tap-splurt of killing an enemy)

I think some people on this server get overly nostalgiac for EQ. People don't wanna look like a newbie poser; "dude their first album was the only good one" or "staring at the spellbook is so classic i love it". However the ones have been around since the very beginning can recognize some of the great changes. Spellsets are at the TOP of the list. Right-click spell list is cool too (although since spellsets are still around I am not really too mad).

so can someone explain how you make a spell set and load it please?

I assume its like "/load spell set buffs " or something but what are the commands to save and load please?

To make it just right-click on the little book above your 8 spell hotbuttons and save spell set, and it will save the spell set as you name it with the current 8 spells you have out. I don't know of any "/blahblah" type command to save a spell set. However "/memspellset X" will memorize the spellset you named X. THat you can make a hotkey for... hotbutton bank 5 is all 10 of my spellsets... as a shaman this I cannot live without, especially on raids, if people be wanting buffs!

i guess you can just have 50 saved partial spell sets and 10 full spell sets and just on the fly mix and go if you had to.

WHAT? partial spell sets? EXPLAIN MORE!
