September 2000, /camp is added to game.

Added the following /-commands:

/camp: Causes your character to camp out. You must be sitting to use /camp.
/disband: Will disband you from your current group, or turn down an invitation to join another group.
/invite: Will invite the target into a group, or accept an invitation if one is pending.
/attack: Will toggle the state of "Auto-attack". You may also add a parameter of "on" or "off" to explicitly set the state.

Then after Velious launches you get camp server and desktop.

Added parameters to the /camp command (the command that will cause you to camp out if you are already sitting). "/camp server" will take you back to the server selection screen. "/camp desktop" will take you out to the desktop following a successful camp. Despite popular request, "/camp spawn" will not be implemented.

Both of these explicitly state you need to sit or already be sitting to work guys :/.

Camping is the least of my concerns, where as the stand/cast will greatly contribute to my carpal tunnel due to the frequency of use. Not complaining though, if it's classic I'm all for it. I think I have some serious work to do on my UI mechanics anyway.

I play characters that have the Forage skill so thankfully I was already used to Standing to start a spell cast.

I have the Forage skill as a macro bound to my Sit / Stand key as well as my forward movement key. The macro is...

/doability 1
/pause 2
/autoinventory

My bags and end up with tons of shit if I'm leveling in Kunark.

Classic does not mean good. Slavery is classic but we can all agree that is a bad thing. (shut up trolls yes we can agree on that) I am not a fan of the stand cast change but i suppose I can get used to it. I just hope that when the dev team considers making classic changes they also consider if it's good. There are a ton of classic things players hated but still played the game because the rest was good. Bad game changes are still bad whether classic or not.

Paper is classic, too. But that doesn't mean we should be making paper airplanes out of iPads.

Good/bad is relative.

I won't argue your slavery point... But that's an entirely different animal. Comparing the enslavement of another man to forcing you to press another hotkey... Is some slippery slope straw man stuff.

I may consider the druid track cap being changed from 125->50 cause classic a bad thing. Since I'm a druid. But I'm sure people that now find up named mobs I would've sniped with my higher tracking skill has I known they were up, would think its a good thing.

Who is it that is the final arbiter who decides what's good and bad in Classic EQ? You? Me? Nope... The Devs and in this case when given the evidence they thought that's pretty classic and it may make people stumble a bit more (which is super classic), let's put it in.

Now that'd be some shit, floating/lev sitting & casting @ same time

Would've loved to have heard your comments on classic EQ devs screw ups back in the day.

People will acclimate to the sit to camp and stand to cast changes very fast. They did with the map removal. They did with compass removal. They did with removal of 200 starting sense heading. They did with the removal of target circles. They did with the removal of con color in target box. They did with the removal of light blue cons. And so too they will with this change.

The gamma change can be circumvented easily if you don't care about classic immersion.
