If Haynar wasn't trolling and really has buff timers removed next patch...

My Immersion is going to be cranked up to an 11.

See, now that's one of the bits that'll get me ranting. When a change has the primary effect of separating those who go the extra mile with out of game appliances (hello programmable "eggtimer" on the desk) from those who do not, I'm 100% willing to voice my opinion that it's a bad choice. That's actually my main issue with the single chat window also, its greatest effect is to place a much larger value on out of game chat resources.

If the annoyance of adjusting to a different UI robs the game of enjoyment for you, sure that makes sense. I'm pretty sure I'll get over it myself, tho I may rant a little (or a lot) first.

While UI is being dumbed down, please also force everyone onto 33k modem connection, 400 Mgh Celeron CPU and 32MB of ram and 4Mb Video (NON 3D). Oh yeah - random timeouts every 5 min and disconnects every half hour. Now THAT will truly crank up the difficulty and nostalgic value.

EQ UI was BAD to start with - early reviewers clearly called it "unintuitive and cumbersome" even by the 99s standards and expectations.

And while the original UI supposedly will make game harder, we have everyone favorite classical exploit (MQing) that makes the game hellova lot easier than it should have been. So I see that the notion is: lets dumb down the UI to introduce artificial burden, but lets keep an obvious exploit in the game.

4Mb Video (NON 3D). .

Not classic.

Everquest required a 3D accelerator to run.

If you like Luclin models, you are sick in the head.

They should remove mq. Make it even more fucking classic than classic.

There would be no end to the tears.

What I meant no fancy shit with dedicated sub-cpu like NVDIA.
Simple 3D accelerator was built it into my $16 8Mb ATI card - the game worked. But like total crap, and I could not load Kunark zones at all until I got cheap upgrade to Radeon 32MB.

Love it how whenever someone points out the obvious hypocrisy and double standard of picking and choosing what's "classic" vs not, it's almost always immediately glossed over or ignored. Also, those who are the most vocal about hating the models and wanting them removed are using most if not all of the other aftermarket features you listed above.

well, duh. how else would the poop sockers dominate the lay men? they use highly modified UI's, high speed internet, computers that easily over power most modern MMO's, have wiki on alt-tab, and teamspeak running with a mic glued to their face while they sh** in a tube sock like Eric Cartman in that awesome WoW episode.

None of this is classic, but its what it takes to compete at 50+ in any shitty raid guild. If you use teamspeak(which P99 could never block) but bitch about luclin models, please put that 12 guage that your grandpa left you in your mouth and pull the trigger with your big toe.

Character models are a part of the game's original design. Trying to compare classic model enforcement to technical advances is apples to oranges.
