Prove it: provide evidence that we did and I'll bet the staff will restore the window.

Yeah, just like they'll fix all the things they've implemented that aren't classic with evidence...HAH

As the http://wiki.project1999.com/Non-Classic_Compendium page explains, the devs have "implemented" very few things that aren't classic. Basically just the direction of the OOT boats, the fact that you can't glitch through Siren's Grotto ... and the entire raid system.

(And to some extent that last one's unavoidable: P99 raiding has to be unclassic by nature, because Blue has about 10x more leveled raiders, and about as much more player knowledge, than people on live ever did. One could argue it could be more classic, but that's another thread.)

But other than that, just about everything else unclassic on P99 isn't because the devs wanted to make it that way, it's because they faced some sort of constraint that prevented them from "keeping it classic".

There is no such constraint on the pet window, so if it was classic for it to be here, and someone presented evidence proving as much, it would be restored.

It's just that the devs choice of unclassic solution is perhaps arguably less classic than some alternatives.)

BLAH BLAH BLAH. You OBVIOUSLY don't play on red. If you did you'd be aware that there are several changes specific to red (items, mechanics, resists) that don't apply to blue in the name of PvP balance. The staff had an opportunity to better balance pvp and make Red99 better but dropped the ball again. An attempt was made to do this in the beginning and few times since.

Red was never classic. Classic EverQuest PvP was a failure, so the devs tried an experiment to make it more successful.

I don't understand what's going on. Did P1999 start with more features, allow players to get used to them, rely on them and are now stripping them away with each patch they put out?

Why?

[Chortles Snort|eS]

patch breaks vile macOS install

rip

[Killval]

EWWW please, can I have my pet window and hotbars back? I understand if they weren't classic or whatever, but having them for a decade now and taking away that carrot from everyone isn't the best idea.
