Make P99 Classically accurate~! (vanilla - velious)

[Disable Mouse Wheel Camera Zoom]

I assume this change isn't really possible or they would have done it in the last 12 years...

A P99 developer explicitly said, awhile back, that he had the fix ready to implement but was overruled by senior management. Presumably the folks in charge like the mouse wheel themselves. There are a few other non-classic features left in place due to administrator preference so it's not without precedent.

I'd like to see clickable item links removed.

That one came up during the creation of Green's UI. So did removal of multiple chat windows. The majority of links could be broken via pretty simple means. Getting it 100% would be tougher but you could break the functionality of the regular links people use without too much fuss. Multiple chat windows could be removed using the same method as other window removal. Both of these were left in place as management calls, same as cycle targeting or the pet window on Blue. I recall a guide or GM saying he couldn't stand doing his job if he was stuck with one chat window. Likewise links are regarded as a means of reducing scamming and hence reducing GM workload. Rogean's specific comment I recollect on mousewheel scroll is that with F9 available he doesn't see it as a big deal.

P99 players tend to be a pretty adaptable and clever bunch. Monks took what looked like a heavy hit with sneak nerf--but they kept on 'truckin. I expect it'll be similar for Enchanters.

As an aside, you also have larger than classic font on some menus on Green as a compromise for the reality that modern resolutions are larger than 1990's era resolutions were (probably no-one runs at 640x480). If you want to be REALLY classic then minimizing the client should cause it to crash. That'd throw a bit of a wrench in wiki usage but I'm not that much of a purist.

This doesn’t even appear to really be a significant nerf in any way though lol
