Do you want open book/blind meditiation?

I really don't miss this UI:

Overcoming and dealing with things like this is most of the reason there's any nostalgia at all

Not to mention they create mad immersion but most people only want changes for easier pixels

Ask me how I know

This kind of stuff builds character in questers

They allow shrinking, hugging a wall and summoning an eye to invite from zone in.

am I right. *chuckles*

You don't get to pick and choose your battles here! One chat window, blind-book-medding, insane hybrid-xp penalties, no cycle-target, no scroll-cam and, of course, one dead server!!!!

I could live with it. As noted, I already do on a couple characters. Can you?

Playing Everquest builds characters.

People ask who cares it's annoying, why make such a big deal?

That's an easy one

It's supposed to be a classic server, why make such a big deal protesting it being so?

Right?

Pretty sure cycle existed before 2004, I wasn't even playing anymore by then. The way that reads is they made it so you could create a hotkey (?), but you could already bind target cycling to a keyboard key.

Tab targeting existed, but that’s different.

Cycle targeting means if you have 10 mobs in front of you, you can hit your cycle button and it will target those mobs one by one until you’ve targetted all 10, and it will restart with the first mob.

Tab targeting means when you target anything, a PC or NPC, then hit Tab, it will target yourself (similar to F1). However if you hit clear your target, then you hit Tab again it will target the mob you “Tab Locked” earlier. This was exceptionally useful for charming NPCs or for creating CotH chains.

Cycle targetting was introduced in that 2004 patch as indicated. Tab targeting was in before that, by PoP at the latest though I’m not positive if it was ever not in.

I thought I saw a 'how to' for making a cycle target key when this option came out but can't seem to find it. If I remember correctly you had to chose a letter key which was annoying to me. Anyway... can anyone give some semi detailed instructions please?

Doesnt have to be a letter. All you need to do is press Alt-O to go into options in game, click the keyboard tab. Click the pull down thingy and select targetting. In the window, you should see Cycle Targets with no key assigned. Just click on it and then press they key you want to use. 8)

So I take it you two are for rescinding the ban on boxing too, then, since boxing is also "Classic".... no compromises, right?

Oh yeah, I forgot, of course, you also "pick and choose" which parts of classic are real classic, and which parts are for butthurt crybabies, momma's basement dwellers and wannabe losers

It's not about pick and choose, it's about viable and not. The P99 folks do everything viable, but classic boxing isn't viable.

In classic you had to pay for two accounts, both for the first box, every expansion, and every month. You also had to have two physical computers: EQW didn't come until later, and even then it was ban-worthy tech for the entire classic era.

P99 can't technically force only one instance to run (even if they did people could run VMs). They also can't charge: that's part of their deal with Daybreak (or at least is presumed to be).

So they have two choices, and both are 100% unclassic: no boxing, or people boxing all over the damn place. Most other EQ Emu servers (all of which have pop <100) go the latter route. P99 went the former, and I think anyone who has played on both will tell you, the P99 choice is by far more classic.

Also .. you're a child. I don't even want to invest effort into insulting you better, because it's not even really an insult: more a statement of fact. Baler and Nirgon may not be the friendliest people in this forum, but that response was childish.
