It certainly would be, if anyone was acting that way.

EverQuest is a game about the random stuff that happens at the margins. The core gameplay is fairly dull. You find mobs, you pull them, you kill them.

Unusual events are what cause the magic. Those unusual events are caused by player interactions. Porters are an example of a player interaction that rarely goes weird, but can occasionally. They generate stories, which generate enjoyment that goes above and beyond the core gameplay.

The possibility of that happening, although small, is not "statistically insignificant" to those who care about it. We hear stories of porting gone weird all the time. Sometimes we're even the ones telling those stories. The chance of that is very small, but it drops to 0 if you introduce an automated system. It isn't by any stretch of the imagination the only reason not to go to Luclin/PoP, of course, so don't act like it is. It's just *a* reason.
Everquest is a game about character development regardless of your perverse viewpoint of what it should be. Talking to people during ports =\= the vision.

How about we're doing Luclin/PoP custom on another server that has nothing to do with your 50 guildmates on red.

This irrational need to influence and affect content development that has absolutely nothing to do with you is remarkable.

Maybe you missed the thread title? Yeah it says Luclin Server. Key word server. So what is your dissent based on? That the server wouldn't be successful? Its page 27, we went over that and you refuted none of the points raised.

Keep posting away though buddy.

Already downloaded and started on p2002, but dislike the lack of scroll wheel and forced windowed mode, hope TAKP has mouse scroll and full screen mode. Either way, started there because I miss the superior Luclin models, but still keep a home here for the "classic" feel.

p2002 server was created to troll TAKP devs, please do not actually play there.

Adding support for mouse scroll wheel is easy. It was asked if it was a feature wanted. It was voted down.

Don't run EQW.exe, and run "eqgame.exe patchme" if u want full screen.

Make sure your UAC settings don't dim the screen on changes. Gamma changes crash it.

Logitech trackman FTW. Has no scroll at all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
But just what I game on, keeps the carpal tunnel syndrome down to a minimum. Good for shooters too.

The people can get what they want, right here at home on the P99 brand.
