How did I miss this thread?!
I followed EQC for a few years and always boggled at the mindset of YL. Who gives a crap about the most minute detail of the original EQ client? People want to knock-down the ghoul lord and get a yak. Or see Freeport (the real Freeport) again. Or maybe take down Lockjaw in the Oasis, where he's supposed to be. That obsession with making the client look exactly like it did in 1999 just seems... unhealthy. Honestly, I played from beta until Luclin and off and on until WoW came out and have no desire to see the original UI again. That original client with it's tiny world window wasn't all that it's cracked up to be. I remember being in a Naggy/Vox raid and half of the view disappearing because of buffs. That wasn't fun. I was glad when they fixed that $@#*. And don't get me started on med. I played a wizard and for 30 levels I saw nothing but book. No thanks. Project 1999 got it right: EQEmu (Titanum client - and now beyond) and reverse merge ("remove" for non devs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) the newer content. Zone revamps are gone. Turn on the old models. Lots of great work from the community digging up things like old wolf models. But at least the EQC guys figured out the correct flight trajectory for a ranger's arrow. Good fucking job, guys. That only took 3 years?!

After 3+ years I have given up hope of that server being anything other than vapoware at best and an elaborate hoax at worst. Reminds me exactly what Dawn/Dusk was.
I remember when they had a thread asking for legal advice on how to avoid problems with Sony and I gave a couple pointers and immediately I was jumped on by Yeahlight, edited my post and told me to not reply unless I was a lawyer. A couple months later the site got shut down for a year. Karma's a bitch | ||

They're taking this whole "classic EQ experience" way too far, I agree with the other posters about how the old interface is crappy, I mean seriously...would you want to play this game with a 300x300 res view if you had an alternative like say....P99?

Well, to be fair. EQC was a huge success.
It brought a TON of people to EMU, and eventually... to Project 1999. So don't cast stones too quickly. Keep in mind their project was a huge success.... just ummm... not for EQC.. /shrug. Columbus was looking for a new trade route by sea to India. You could say he failed miserably in that particular objective. But he did somehow end up on American and get credit for discovering an entire continent that everyone but Eurasia had been visiting for centuries.. So there's that. Wow tangent.
