Suggested fix for re-enabling staring at spellbook sub-35

[webrunner5]

Well if he makes it happen probably the last day I play on here. I am a alt freak. Almost all casters. Sure as hell am not going though that crap again.

And there was a REASON the original Devs got rid of all the stupid stuff they screwed up in the start up.

I would suggest throwing a fit until they decide against it.

I would have to agree that if something like this ever got implemented I most likely would not make another caster on the server lol.

I play on this server for the classic feel, which includes difficulty to level, hardness of mobs, spells and items available, what zones are populated, etc. UI elements, or removal of good changes to the game that did not adversely effect game play, simply because they weren't that way in classic do not contribute to the classic feel for me.

At the same time on live servers the spellbook was never an issue for me because I'm one of the people that 2 boxed pretty much since 99. (I didn't actually get a second copy until about 4 or 5 months after release when I realized you could not always depend on a group to be available and most classes couldn't solo for crap). So I nearly always had a non caster character that could see what was going on while one was medding lol. That is probably why I don't consider staring at the spellbook an integral part to the classic feeling.

But as others have stated, the people who run this server will pretty much change things how they see fit regardless to how people feel about it. So I'll enjoy the ride until they make one of those changes that I can't handle hehe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Meh, I really don't want this. Pre-35 hurts casual players more than anything, doesn't affect higher level players. I like this server because I enjoyed eq as a game and an experience how it used to be. I actually feel this would sort of kill the experience as a caster. A lot of sitting literally staring at a blank screen and not being able to enjoy the scenery.
