I don't understand what all the fuss is about. The goal of this server was never to make the perfect game but rather to recreate original classic EQ to the furthest extent possible. If you don't understand that then maybe you should go play WoW rather than complain about how people let you play for free on their classic EQ server.

Only problem is how long these things have been left un-cared-for and unclassic. Classic players have forgot that they were unclassic, and the fact that staff is arbitrary in implementing these changes.

For example, red server has not been able to duck to instantly cancel spell casting since its inception

blue server has always been able to duck instantly to cancel spell casting.

This is a velious era change to the game that is ULTRA basic but someone has decided that blue will get to have it easy and keep their duck to interrupt feature.

It is offensive because it is arbitrary.

Sorry your free beta experience hasn't been enjoyable.

Your refund is being processed, please standby

Future servers will have the duck issue until the appropriate time in Velious.

My own feeling is try for classic as much as is REASONABLY possible, which is what they are doing. The UI itself is not classic - unavoidably so. Hence picking and choosing of which UI game controlling features to leave in place makes some sense.

Give 'em a break, they are still following the theme of trying to be as reasonably classic as possible, annoying as it can be at times. The definition of what "reasonably classic" is, will remain in their hands. Join your own server creation project team if you want control.

Thanks for the efforts of all the devs. Btw, Haynar does much much more than apply nerfs (although I sometimes wonder if he secretly enjoys it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

Too bad about the links. Anyone else remember walking up to vendors in east commons or gfay and having them put a bunch of bags in a trade window for you to see what they had for sale?

Good old days.

Haynar a lot of my friends on blue are dying to see classic un duckable spell casting system implemented for the last 6 or so months that it will be era correct on blue.

Ele thanks for the refund

not sure why the duck thing is such an issue to some of you (other than it was classic), all you ever had to do was jump to interrupt in classic. Damn near the same effect.

Duck thing is only an issue Pscottdai because blue can duck while red can't...for no reason.

your server, change it how you want!
BULLSHIT!

doesnt give you carteblanche to ass rape the people who are playing this crappy server.

respect is a 2 way thing, the developers dont respect the players and so they
players can never respect them either.

The sensible thing would be to run 2 servers, one for the pureists (clueless classic naxis) and one for the folk who just enjoy playing an older version of eq. That way the classic zombies can enjoy their own putred company, and the rest can have a good time.
