People in this thread are making a positive claim, namely that real-time log readers with UI elements were classic. A positive claim needs evidence to support it. Otherwise the negative claim (that such a thing did not exist) is the reasonable conclusion.

There are thousands upon thousands of old screenshots and forum posts that have provided all sorts of data for this project's recreation of the classic EQ experience. Finding evidence of UI elements and real-time log readers should be fairly easy if such things existed, because in the former case they would be clearly visible in screenshots, and in the latter they would inevitably be mentioned in forum discussions.

Given that EQ was forced full screen back then and real time parsing programs were ran on a second computer (and so few people did this) it's doubtful any screen shots would be found. At the very least we've entered a stale mate on anecdotal evidence. It's entirely plausible that this sort of thing did happen back then, and we have at least one person chiming in that they did in fact do this. It's not conclusive but it's a pretty strong argument given the circumstances.
