Because the powers that be didn't like it.

The "vision" here seems to be that this is classic... except where the devs don't like something. Fine by me. Their server. Just don't expect consistency.

This is pretty ignorant.

Even if the devs were consistent in this situation, you'd find other "inconsistencies" to complain about (OH NOEZ PYZJN'S SPAWN ISNT EXACTLY LIKE CLASSIC, U GUYS AREN'T CONSISTENT, THE KELETHIN LIFTS AREN'T EXACTLY LIKE CLASSIC, WAHH), and by extension use that to complain that "wahh wahh, the devs aren't consistent."

Almost every time there's an inconsistency, there's a specific reason. Sometimes they simply don't say. For you to assume it's "they don't like something" is both factually without warrant and generally idiotic. As if Nilbog et al have some kind of axe to grind and they're rigging the system. I'm sure they benefit from "fixing" the oot classic flip, or somehow that severely damages anyone's classic experience.

Since when has a Prima guide been useful for *anything*?

Back before I got a second PC (or found EQW) which I could browse on, the spell list, city maps, skill list and recipes were handy to have in front of you.

I had a printer and a ringbinder. I was most definitely thinking outside the bun... I mean box.

Lots of problems with this reply...

First, I don't really give a shit whether it's consistent. I said that... their server. They can and will do as they wish.

However, anyone who argues they are consistent is "ignorant". Boats ran backwards... let's fix that. Human exp bonus was given to halflings... that's "classic" and should be left alone. We're not talking about one instance, either. It's how they do things. Hell, I'd probably handle it the same way. If it was my server and something was (relatively) easy to fix and it bugged me, I'd probably fix it too. I got no problem with that.

And, by the way, there is no reason that the boats could not have continued to run backwards. It was classic and it worked. They just didn't like it being that way so they fixed it. Don't tell me I'm an idiot because I pointed out something that should be obvious.

While we're at it, maybe you can show me where I was "complaining" about anything. I even said it was fine by me. You might want to go back and read my original post. Be consistent... be inconsistent... I don't care. Don't claim you're one when you the other though.

It doesn't really matter what we do; why we do it; or whether it was done intentionally. The same people would be crying their eyes out, because 'it should be the other way'.

It doesn't take a genius to identify a problem. This forum is full of people identifying problems. If you want to be taken seriously, get busy solving a problem instead of crying about it. None of the developers give a shit about your tears.

Some people are only happy when they're crying. Misery loves company. Case in point: Split thread. Two or three people were more than willing to express pages and pages of butt-hurt agony, in single-spaced, wall-o-text format.

But wait. You expect us to actually contribute to a solution? ***** you crazy! It killed the thread.
