Oh and also important is that up to then, people played on 19" or smaller CRT monitors and 640 x 480 VGA or less, no 800 x 600 SVGA until Velious even if your computer was capable of higher, and the play screen was even smaller, like 320 x 240, or 1/4 of the screen, while the rest of the screen filled with the template and buttons. You had no other options. You meditated with book until level 35 and had to manually check time to time to see if your group was in trouble or not. That also includes chat and combat log, which was not customizable.
