Damn. I played a necro and a druid during classic and somehow I don't remember it being this way. Probably because I've just been playing on p99 so long. Oh well. Tough QoL change for several classes but the quest for classic follows to its own logic and suffers no reproach.

On the subject of classic, does anyone know if green is launching with the sexy ass classic UI?

It's mildly interesting watching as QoL are rolled back and people complain.

No, that UI is not launching with Green.

1. We are not playing on 4:3 standard screens but the majority are on 16:9 widescreens. That UI will not work. You can choose to run a 4:3 resolution which makes EQ correct as it wasn't designed for widescreen (essentially it chops the top and bottom then stretches the image out to fill. It doesn't increase the peripheral vision)

2. Rogean tried a compromise as that original UI had a spell book that covered the viewport while medding. Much the same as this DoT info and pet windows went, some people lost their shit. Rogean took an arrow to the knee over it. Many players never played in original era. Some don't understand the goal of this project. Other played and understand the goal but not why it needs to be so. Others just want conveniences. All want to play a hardcore MMORPG. Some will tell you the game is easy and laugh while they take full advantage of every modern convenience.

Meanwhile I forum quest.
