Confused about all the anger. My main is a 53 Enchanter. Heard about the changes, patched and logged in. Setup pet command macros and put them on a social bar. Played like normal.

Yes, it is an adjustment to have to query my pet's health frequently and pretty sure that will be even more hectic in a group setting. Just not like it ruined the game or anything. I had to pay just a bit more attention.

The OP's issue seems to be with the character select screen [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.], he isn't even complaining about the reduction in hotkeys or the removal of the pet window.

I don't see why people care that much, none of these changes (pet window, hotkeys) are deal breakers and if we are looking at it from a purist EQ classic view: the previous character select screen wasn't "classic" either.

Having said that I'm not a big fan of the let's keep it classic just for the sake of it. Some things were clearly worse in classic and not fun, no need to patch those back in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. But the P1999 crew put a lot of work into it and they get to choose the direction they want to take their project in, and it is impressive that they managed to replicate a classic experience so well!
