These people complaining about hotbars are the reason they make things classic - or as classic intended to be. They're whining because they had a toy they shouldn't have and got used to it. Now they demand non-classic, after coming to a classic server to play. They don't actually need it, just like people playing on live didn't back when everyone sucked at games. It's not like they'll avoid Green because of it though. They're just going to QQ for a while and then get over it. If you all are complaining about that you don't even want to know how people have to play FFXI. I had 80 hotbuttons across 6 different pages on my Red Mage when I was still 25 levels from cap with underleveled subjobs, and 10 of those were gear-swap macros or conjunction swap/cast macros. I'd have probably needed to make another 20 by the time I leveled Ninja to 37. Oh yeah, and one character could be every class which means hotbutton pages for every job/subjob combo on one character, which you had to manually make for each macro. Also, that game was made for Playstation and had a UI that was MUCH MUCH MUCH worse than this one. Virtually everything needed to be done with the m̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ keyboard. Even figuring out how to open the menu was a task. Num minus btw. Yet still we managed to chainpull and do raids. | ||||

I used a playstation controller for the majority of my FFXI play. Some KB work and I knew lots who used the "compact keyboard" set up effectively. Much of the biggest hurdle for people was not simply accepting that this was a PC console port and not conducive to WASD and mouse for controlling it.
I played back at the original NA launch for year between EQ and WoW though, not sure how things are on FFXI emu servers. But the UI was definitely a chore and a dealbreaker for so many EQ players. | ||

Feign death no longer poofs NPC pets if their owner is dead and the Shai`diin Revenant Bauble is now SK/NEC useable again from being NEC only. Soooo what other things are different that failed to get mentioned in the patch notes?

I wanted to make fun of the whiners, but then I remembered whining myself about the compass...
However, I think you'd all cry less tears if you approached this game differently than, "OMG dragons are up and my UI is sub-optimal! How will I ever bag all the pixels generated this week? Aughh!" Sit one out once in a while... | ||

This is far more obnoxious than just having character-specific keybinds, but what about:
Multiple eqclient.ini files, named something like eqclient1.ini, eqclient2.ini, etc. Then start EQ with a batch file named for the character you're hoping to play. It then deletes eqclient.ini and copies eqclient1.ini to eqclient.ini. Tedious, but would work, yeah? | ||
