Tab targeting existed, but that’s different.

Cycle targeting means if you have 10 mobs in front of you, you can hit your cycle button and it will target those mobs one by one until you’ve targetted all 10, and it will restart with the first mob.

Tab targeting means when you target anything, a PC or NPC, then hit Tab, it will target yourself (similar to F1). However if you hit clear your target, then you hit Tab again it will target the mob you “Tab Locked” earlier. This was exceptionally useful for charming NPCs or for creating CotH chains.

Cycle targetting was introduced in that 2004 patch as indicated. Tab targeting was in before that, by PoP at the latest though I’m not positive if it was ever not in.

I thought I saw a 'how to' for making a cycle target key when this option came out but can't seem to find it. If I remember correctly you had to chose a letter key which was annoying to me. Anyway... can anyone give some semi detailed instructions please?

Doesnt have to be a letter. All you need to do is press Alt-O to go into options in game, click the keyboard tab. Click the pull down thingy and select targetting. In the window, you should see Cycle Targets with no key assigned. Just click on it and then press they key you want to use. 8)
