Fully Classic vs Current
Ok, so this has probably been posted before somewhere, but let's put it up again to get a consensus. This always seems to get brought up and debated as a side point in other threads. I will try to express both sides as best I can, but I'm sure my bias will show through some:
Current / Hybrid EQ:
Core classic EQ is what matters most. How the mobs acted, the itemization of loot, and how character's skills were used. Having an updated UI and all the amenities which go along with it only help to enhance the core mechanics. Things like scroll out 3rd person, item linking, and multiple chat windows only help people with their interaction with each other. So many older games have player made mods which try to add back in more modern engines without changing core mechanics. Intentional or not, the mix of old core mechanics with the titanium UI is actually the perfect combination. It would be a shame to see this lost.
Fully Classic:
Truly classic is the best. All of the UI extras actually have a larger effect on how the game is played than most people realize. If there is ever possibility of getting the trilogy client working on p99, it should be strictly enforced.
