I feel sorry for the looneys in here that think classic eq makes their meaningless lives of value. Get a job you clueless twats!

They're almost as bad as the people hanging out in classic eq forums bagging people who like classic eq.

[skulldudes]

you mean to tell me that mindlessly slaughtering crocodiles far past what should be to the point of endangering their very existence in norrath doesn't give my life objective meaning?

This sounds like exactly the kind of thinking that turned eq into crap "lets make changes to attract those not currently playing, rather thatn the current player base"

In fact it is rather strange that as I read over the thread I see coutnless people who registered 2-4 years ago with max lvl chars under 40 all shouting in that they think it's the right move.

The only people they are trying to appeal to are those that like classic everquest. It doesn't matter what level your character is.

Why the hell would you level up on light blue mobs, anyway? That's asinine.

Speed is disgusting. The longer it takes to level the better, imo.

telling classic vets that the con changes make no sense or that targeting rings are better is like telling someone their baby is ugly (even if it is).

Well, if the baby has original EQ models and textures, it is ugly... and needs to be said. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ultimately it depends on what you consider a part of the classic EQ experience. While I like some features that make the game challenging and realistic in a way(such as the absence of maps and night blindness of humans), I don't like the old UI and will be extremely annoyed if anybody forced it on me. And I like to solo light blues, partly because they are much better for an untwinked druid to solo. I guess it's always a fine line between making a game challenging and making it annoying - and the line depends too much on the people involved.

As for me, as long as I am not supposed to run instances and raids(and am allowed to travel in small groups) I am not complaining.

I agree

[gcobb]

Wait who are all the people who haven't been using /loadskin velious since launch? I didn't even know this con-color thing existed.

[myriverse]

Don't need to loadskin anything. The default UI showed the con-color.

Having level 60 chars is not a reason or an excuse to have someone cater a server to them. That is just asinine. You think that being level 60 entitles you to more of an option on a free server? Hell if anything, if you are not raiding all the time then you are most likely farming and taking away spawns from people trying to have fun grouping and selling things over and over again bringing the economy down.
I don't mind finding deals in EC but it doesn't entitle you to be here more than anyone else. I personally do not get the "shit has be classic with classic obtrusive UI".
Its the 21st century and hardware just keeps getting better everyday. Why they hell would want to make my game look any worse than it is by being stuck in a 400 resolution viewable screen? Only a very small people opt to have this option, most of the rest of us are playing in resolutions up to 1080p with multiple chat windows so we can clean up spam.
I honestly do not remember what the target window showed back in '99, it was back in '99. I have some old screenshot laying around on my computer and I would have to go back and look at them. I do know all my windows in those screenshots have an opacity to them so I was not stuck in the 400x. Mostly likely learned very early on about the F10 feature.
The hitting C argument doesn't work for me either. One of the first things I do in "ANY" game that gives me the ability to alter key bindings is to do so. My C key is bound for one of the many slots on my hotbar just like Q,E,R,F,Z,X are.
Q slot 1
E slot 2
R slot 4
F slot 5
Z autorun
X slot 6
C slot 7
I did this back in "classic" days as well. I am a FPS foremost and binding keys in a game with first or third person view will always be rebound to shit that is useful instead of what the game normally has be doing.
