People have to not be lazy now?! The audacity!!!! lol...

I'm looking forward to this, and I know it will be painful, but I'm excited.

HEY FIX MAGE PET RESISTS IN PVP THANKS

[Jimjam]

If these fixes mean so much to the whiners they should probably go create a 'fix classic eq' server, instead of playing a 'try to recreate classic eq' server.

I don't think bitter salty tears is going to do anything to encourage a change in the server's mission statement.

Speaking of "classic" features no one wanted or asked for.... shouldn't we be going back to the target window showing con colors??

IIRC on live that came along when velious was released.

I don't think this was Velious feature, there was no target con color on AlKabor server and they used PoP client.

The loss of timers is pretty annoying. I'm confused by the responses here though. What exactly is classic EQ? If we are talking about 1999, why aren't we forced to look at the spell book to med? If we are talking about 1999, why do we have Kunark and Vellious? I don't get the classic thing. The vellious era certainly had many, many changes from "classic".

I can't say to know the answer to your question, but I can guess "classic" is somewhat a fluid definition but I would wager that "classic" is anything pre-PoP (maybe earlier?). Anyone's guess is as good as mine, though.

Classic is Original through the end of Velious and is the "Vision(TM)" for the server. Non-classic UI enchanements are suspect and subject to removal at the staff's whim.

Because they haven't figured out how to make that happen with the current UI. If they figure out a way, they *will* force it on us - 100% guaranteed. Same happened with target rings, the in-game map, etc. Once they figured those out, those features got canned.

Bullshit.


At the end of the day logs are still classic and as such this is a meaningless change. Who doesn't use GINA at this point lmao?

There's plenty of p99 nerds who aren't nearly as nerdy as you, pal. Apparently you haven't noticed, but EverQuest is actually a fun game to play. Some of us even find EverQuest to be considerably more fun to play than MinMaxPowerLevelShitOnYourNeighborAndCheatEverythi ngYouThinkYouMightGetAwayWithPixelQuest.
