So, I went ahead and read this entire thread.... Which is full of very passionate posts. And, since I have an opinion, figured I'd throw it out there, and someone will be willing to rage all over it. I won't read your rage. So have fun.
First off, I did notice that the grand majority of users posting here are actually for Luclin graphics, which makes sense. Why would you bother looking for a thread about Luclin graphics if you were against them.... Unless you just really love looking for a fight. Second, I'd like to point out that there is one person who can see you screen. I don't know what your graphics look like. Ergo, I don't care what your grahpics look like. If someone found a way to make EQ look like My Little Pony, I don't care. (I'm lying, if you find a way to make EQ look like MLP please post it so I can do that.... that would be freaking awesome.....) Many companies rage over mods that change the gameplay experience but that is becoming much less common because if you are raging about someone one else's experience then you are spending way too little time in your own life and way too much in other peoples lives. None of my (or anyone else's) decisions or preferences effect you or your own experience in any way shape or form. The only real effect would be people complaining to the devs that a "player made solution" was not working properly. This, unfortunately, happens alot. The devs work really hard to keep this going and we don't have to pay anything, so we shouldn't really expect anything from them. So quit raging that the devs don't include something. On that same note, if you are hating on someone who is looking for a different experience. Keep in mind that this IS NOT CLASSIC EQ and any interface that someone chooses to go with WILL NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AT ALL. All that said, everyone please quit raging. I'm assuming everyone interested in this is about the age of 30ish by now so lets try and be mature about this and maybe we can find a decent solution to make everyone happy and enjoy an experience similar to what we were looking for in this awesome, ongoing project. | ||

Shouldn't all casters be looking at their books while medding? When was this removed?
well forget that here is another question. Why do half the mobs in the Everfrost starting area just stand still and not move? This isn't classic and yet I have been on other private servers that have this working. I would think this would be far more important to fix vs what someone sees on their own screen. | ||

Originally you had to open spellbook, which left you unable to see anything except the book and chat, and press meditate button to meditate. After a while (during Kunark? can't recall) it was changed so that you did not have to press the meditate button, anytime you had spellbook open you would meditate if you had the skill. And there was some rejoicing. Next change (during Velious?) was that if you were level 35 or higher you did not have to open spellbook to meditate. And there was much rejoicing. Eventually (Velious? Luclin? Pop?) they removed the spellbook requirement for all levels. And there was much snark about welfare and not having to pay dues. Casters & Hybrids learned early that audio was important, nothing would make a L13 in Oasis stand up quicker than sound of a Sand Giant's heavy tread coming closer. Spellbook medding also was a/the driving factor in the early development of the convention of "incoming" macros. It was pretty annoying to get whacked by surprise on a deliberate pull because rangerboy (or whoever) couldn't be bothered to mention in chat that mobs were incoming. Undead in particular had a nasty habit of jumping any sitting target they came close to pretty much regardless of other agro.

I never understood this sentiment. I ran into it for the first time about 4 years ago when I figured out that with some work, you could use the SoD client on p99 which would give you access to luclin models. The thread rapidly sank into a degenerate nerd-trash slapping match. It was funny for a while. Then I started getting tells in game.
Listen, I get it. We play, FOR FREE, on someone else's server. We play at their whim. Fine. What I don't get is all the nerd rage over this. The stuff about exploits is all semantic. Some of those exploits have been around for a decade and aren't any better or worse than the stuff you can exploit with the classic models. Why do people get so worked up over something that has a miniscule to zero effect on anyone else's gameplay? No one reading this forum has any idea what models I am currently using. How I appear to you in game depends entirely on what you have loaded. So why the butt hurt?
