I appreciate the attemt to make this all EQ classic style, and have everything be exactly the same. But guess what, it can't be. It isn't 1999, and many of the things in this game can't be reverted back to the original state. That being the case, I can still understand and appreciate the desire to make it like EQ classic as much as possible. My feelings on the game are that it was an entirely different game when it was first released than it was once Luclin came out. EQ was still EQ all the way through Velious.
The point I'm getting at is that, if the game can't be everything we remember it being, why do this tattered version of it? There are things about Classic that were improved upon, and didn't change the game into the disgusting thing that it became after Luclin. Why not make this game true to classic content, but with upgrades? Some patches didn't make characters stronger, but just took out some of the monotony. Not everything about Classic was good, even though it is a good game. Why bring back the problems? Why not do it better than the original?
I know I've just opened the door to a bunch of pea-brains to yell at me and totally miss my point. Bring it on, it's entertaining. Just try to make some good points in the process, or you're just farting out your mouth... or I guess out of your fingers in this case.
