Well said; I find your analysis compelling. For myself, I suspect the group that donates the most wins and whether or not this, uh, feature is mandatory on Green will let us know which group won.

I am talkinga bout the toggled f10 part though.

By classic rules, if you right click an item, a player, or click your inventory it will flash to a small screen with stone UI?

I strongly think the stone UI everquest at 800 resolution is unfun to play in full time, I felt that way in 1999 I used to rip on my best friend and called him grandpa for using it, and swapping between fullscreen 1900 reso and 800 for inventory would be where I draw the line at classic for classic sake. Hot swapping reso's isnt even classic anyway so its like, a forest for the tree's thing for me. And playing in 800 resolution is like a joke, unless I buy a god damn CRT moniter just for green99 (which is not a stretch) but am I playing pin ball? or getting immersed in fantasy universe here????? very serious question...

Therea re two reasons to like classic EQ:

The immersive world
The vintage interface and game design theory

One may be in conflict of the other is all I am saying! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit: but if you're saying you dont like the stone bags then sure fine, whatever who cares its not like that is what I'm worried about lol I don't need stone bags (..unless they were classic pre velious graphics WHICH THEY MIGHT BE idk, havent seen a single screenshot of full screen UI pre velious UI.. unless I have and just cant tell the difference?) Maybe you could NOT even open bags before velious UI in fullscreen? And it would hot swap to the inventory 800 reso screen when you opened a bag?

Edit edit: I wont be playing a darkelf shaman if that last one is the case lol

P1999 is experimental archeology, not about deliverying the optimum customer experience.

The real game is mining old data, producing evidenced reports to replicate classic eq.

Eqgame.exe is just the /gems of p1999.

I certainly think that passing on green because of the spell book is a bluff.

But if we're going to eventually get to a forced 640x480 green99 then I wont be seeking any new guises by then [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No, not a bluff at all.

Like other posters have already stated. I'm interested in playing the game itself, not staring at my spellbook for the majority of my time. Since I was only planning to play a cleric and/or mage on Green, the spellbook issue is a deal-breaker for me. Back on Live, being forced to stare at my spellbook was the one issue I truly detested. It simply wasn't any fun. If it adds to your sense of fun, I'm glad for you, but if it is included I'll be happily staying on Blue instead.

You're gonna take one look at a darkelf shaman in red plate and you will be grinding so hard in the newbie yard ripping on yourself trying to catch up, trust me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And taking one look is all its going to be before hes stuck inside his spell book for 90% of the time.

Playing a game to not see the game your playing is rather silly.

I honestly don't care, as I will be on Green no matter what. Looking forward to starting a Cleric once more, but this spell book sure will ruin a lot of the enjoyment...

I remember on Live during Velious Era that Blizzards were patched in for a VERY short time. My character LITERALLY couldn't see more than 3 feet in any direction even during midday. After my second storm experience I logged out and sent a feedback to the DEVs that "I spend enough time on this game in down time medding and regenning and was not going to sit staring at a blank screen". There must have been a lot of other people who felt the same way because the effect was immediately removed never to return.

If I want to sit staring at a blank screen I guess I could turn my monitor off and just play the game with sound only. Wow what a novel experience. Or better yet I could just jab my eyes with toothpicks until my retinas detach.

Sure I would play green with book open/blank screen but I still remember it just was not fun. If this thread is asking for feedback opinions/votes....I vote NO.
