Let's face it..The server is awesome

Oh and the people who reference EQmac. I actually enjoy being able to see mobs lifetotals update in real time, accurate pathing, being able to go third person, no PoK (a zone which destroyed the game). The fact is that even at 331 ppl, thats still about triple the avg population of EQmac. Enjoy your stale, competitive-free raid community too where nothing is truly earned, but given. I'm sure its totally interesting.

IDK which part I liked more, the belief that there is no third person or the part where he tries to claim an emu server has more accurate pathing than an official server.

Not like accurate pathing is a good thing anyway, you should be licking the current and former developer's balls for the custom paths NPCs take. P99 way better (easier) in that aspect.

The thing about this is, here on P99 they would remove those features if they could. The goal of P99 is to be 100% Classic (or that's the claim at least). That argument really only holds water if P99 were a "Semi-Classic" server that tries to emulate Classic content with a modern/Live client. It doesn't though, it simply has no real choice in regards to certain things.

I do agree though. Within five seconds of logging into EQMac i was disgusted by the fact that the client, when pressing 5 on the Numpad to center your vision, doesn't center vision but instead leaves you looking up by about 10 degress. I had completely forgotten the old clients did that back then and I hated it. I also disliked the inability to use the mouse wheel to scroll out and that you could only F9. It's annoying enough playing titanium where I don't have the option to hold down the left mouse button and circle around my character after wheeling out (a feature implemented in Seeds of Destruction), no mouse wheel at all was torturous. I have a habit of going into 3rd person when sitting in a camp for raids/groups or while running places. No idea why I just do lol. Also bothered me that /dopropertinting for Luclin models is broken on EQMac and ,with no devs on the project since 2004, it will never be fixed.

I do like EQMac though don't get me wrong, I play every once in awhile and it's fun to have that nostalgia. But I find myself playing P99 or Live much more. Though I think this stems from the fact that, I personally, think EQ's growth was odd. I preferred Classic content, but I prefer the clients as they are today. Basically as the content/expansions got shittier, the client and it's functionalities/UI got significantly better. I would kill for a Classic-Velious or Classic-Luclin server that allowed the use of the Veil of Alaris client. But again, that's just me.

So people hate EQMAC because it has a more classic client?!

I never said that =/. I meant it was my preference. I even said "But again, that's just me". I didn't put any words in other people's mouths, please don't put them in mine.

I never said I hated EQMac, anyway. I actually do like it. I just prefer P99, or Live more.

Nuts to that. Gimme the 640x480 UI from launch, where all the text is in one box and you only have 6 hotkeys and the UI occupies 2/3 of the screen.
