You should mention that the shared bank is disabled for classic reasons.

Oh yeah. Definitely don't put anything into that shared bank. As soon as you zone it'll get eaten right up. Found that out the hard way. (oops, sorry box of abu kar)

There are allot of stickies now, maybe they can all be combined? If not the titles will probably help people find what they are looking for anyway.

From the Step-by-step guide to getting started thread in Files. (post #'s46 & 47.

How many of these steps are necessary, versus how many are just for making the UI look Classic? Let's say I don't care for classic spell gems or spell effects, would I be able to skip certain steps?

most of the aesthetic changes can be skipped ( ui, spell effects, spell gems, loading screen, etc.)

the dbstr and spells_us files cannot be skipped without causing alot of headache (especially if you're a caster)

The zone changes cannot be skipped if you ever intend to be in, or travel through, those zones.


/shrug

Might be worth adding, just to cover the bases...

Need to add the following:

Technical issues:


Q. My client is crashing to Desktop before it gets to character select screen!

The Options menu does not display all of the odd screen resolutions we see these days so if you need something like 1280x800 it won't appear in the list on Options. If you pick the closest one (eq 1280x960) BOOM EQ wouldn't get past server select. The solution is to get into the file \Program Files\Sony\Everquest\eqclient.ini (or whereever you installed Everquest) and modify the section that looks like this:

[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1280
WindowedHeight=800
Width=1280
Height=800
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1280
HeightWindowed=800

Obviously replace 1280x800 with whatever your screen resolution is (rt click on screen, Properties, Settings, Screen Resolution slider) and you should be good to go.

While I appreciate the thoroughness, I think this would be better served as a thread/sticky in the technical forum. If I start adding technical issues/fixes to the FAQ it would explode in size and I don't want to manage that.

Default ...?..??...?!?!!!

Blah Blah...blah...WHAT -EXP AGAIN!!?!

The only thing i dont understand about this is the purpose it is supposed to serve it was originally passed as a bug eventually...what is the point of punishing certain classes for playing that class? i could rant on for hours about this subject but i will try to keep it short...

It makes no sense to have certain classes and races have a -exp bonus first of all some of the (what are supposed to be) hybrid classes arent really hybrids the casters all use each others spells but that doesnt make them hybrid its just like learning some of your first spelsl in D&D (fireball being the most common one). Just because they all use fireball does not meen that they are being hybrids...I could be a warlock and use fireball just like a mage could use a fireball. Warlocks are generally considered evil where as mages are generally considered good. These two types of magic users hate each other and use different methods to cast their spells.

As far as melee classes go first of all bards are not hybrids songs arent really spells in my opinion bards are sort of their own thing. Monks are also their own thing what other class uses their fists more than any other weapon in combat? they dont even have spells the only thing they have in common with other classes is FD and even those are used as spells on the only other two classes that can use it. SKs are sort of a hybrid but they dont really use spells from any other types of magic users as far as a i know (i didnt play this class to a very high level).

What purpose does it serve to have certain races and classes at a disadvantage to other races and classes? There is no point to make these classes and races less played all it does is makes people mad because they cant figure out why their halfing rogue friend is leveling 2X faster than them.

Although i do appreciate this server for bringing back EQ i don't appreciate the server managers adding what was passed off as a bug in the original game.
