Staring at your spell book is hella classic, in fact it might be single most recognizable aspect of classic not currently in game. But what worries me is the effect it will have on the least recognizable, but most important aspect of P99 that is classic.
A constant influx of new players.

A legitimate concern. But there's still Blue, right? A new player who stumbles upon P1999 doesn't
have to roll on Green for a more authentic experience. He can easily opt for the more modern client on Blue.
At the end of the day, we have to keep in mind that the goal of this project is to recreate the experience of classic EverQuest as closely as possible. And something that a lot of players have forgotten is that most of the modern conveniences we've gotten used to on the Titanium client (gamma for night blindness, target cycling, item linking, third-person mouse wheel scroll, no spellbook medding) have significant impacts on actual gameplay. They are
not just quality of life changes. They fundamentally change the way the game is played. And they change it unquestionably in an un-classic direction. This is why I support any change that moves in the direction of classic gameplay.
