spell sets
It's not too late to request that comes back, right?
lol

I started using spellsets like the day before they got removed it was ruff life.

Chances of these things going in before green is into velious are like zero.

If the intention of Blue was really to beta for Green, when Green releases, what is holding us back from loosening up, just a bit, on blue?

gee whiz, I dunno, 18 years of concrete history leading to the creation of P99 Blue in the first place showing very clearly that loosening up will have devastating consequences for EQ gameplay and replayability?

I think it was poorly executed Expansions that did that, not the QoL interface features. I am not suggestion game mechanic changes.

What I was saying, is once Green goes live, the main purpose of Blue becomes immaterial. Why not add the QoL stuff?

I'd like it to stay as is so when green characters are forced onto blue the experience can still be somewhat the same.

This is the best answer.

These quality of life people are a plague. They will never stop. Do not give them an inch. Literally all they care about is increasing the ease with which they can acquire pixels. It's bad enough they use the grossly unclassic UI and timer programs. Then they start asking for unclassic hotbars and keyrings, soon it will be spellsets and God knows what else. If this type had their druthers we would soon be running around on mounts, quaffing XP, health and mana potions and farming Luclin and PoP-era loot off of Velious dragons, because, well, why not? Quality of Life is everything!

Anyone advocating unclassic QoL changes should have their accounts temporarily suspended until they level an untwinked Dark Elf warrior to 60 on Green. Then they can complain about how bad the QoL is on Blue.

That's some good trolling right there. I can't even tell if you're being sarcastic or serious. Because why would anyone want to make a game slightly less tedious if possible? I mean, nobody is making YOU use a guild window, shared bank slot, or extra hotbar.

Absolutely not trolling. This is a game. A recreational activity. A pastime. It's not meant to be something people inhabit every waking moment of their lives. Most of the people calling for quality of life changes do so because they are far too immersed and invested in the game and thus rationally want to make their existence in the game as comfortable and as efficient as possible. Adding more so-called "quality of life" features to the game just encourages more neckbearding, poopsocking and powergaming by the no-lifers. It makes things too comfortable. Instead of making the game easier for them to play, we should make it harder.

What you're saying is that this is a game, a recreational activity, a pasttime. Therefore people shouldn't want it to be slightly more enjoyable, because they'll play it more.

Got it.
