Patch Notes: Monday, September 5th, 2016

[Lojik]

Do you want classic mechanics or classic gameplay? They are not necessarily the same. The devs do their best to relive the "classic experience" the best way they see possible. Since so much has changed outside the world of eq in terms of information and computer technology, classic mechanics and classic gameplay will be at odds with each other. All the devs can do is try to find the best compromise out of the situation. How dare they make changes to their own server (that we play on for free.)

The most telling aspect of classic eq was the tears of whiners when devs made changes...so in that respect they are doing a damn good job. Kudos.

+1

If devs hardlined on classic mechanics we'd still be hooping down dragons like a bunch of rabid assholes with 400 on the spawn point

This change is a giant net-positive for this server (moving forward) and whatever new server comes up at a later date

Sorry some of ya'll actually have to level your toons now, must be so shitty!

+1.

Likewise if classic mechanics and UI exist here lots of amazing feats would not even be remotely possible.

Classic nitpicking on specific issues that favours individuals rather then real classic is exactly what's going on.
