Holy shit the immersion.


Anyway trying to decide what duo or trio to box got everything else set up.

anything with heals, anything that can tank, dps would be my pick

There has to be something with the directx that causes most of the crashes. Hope to try and pin it down better some day.

ITT: devs getting those "my kid's better than yours" feels


You guys dont have to try to sling mud, no one is up for election here. no one is saying one server is better than the other, just different and a thing. if you dont like the server, you dont have to play on it. the purpose of this thread is solely to make people who would like to play aware of it's existence.



Please take the personal squabbles and negativity to PMs.

Agreed 100%. It's a shame some of the people in this thread don't understand that.

P2002 is okay by me. I actually encourage people to play on there if that's their style of playing. It's just when you start attacking people that make P2002 what it is, it becomes something else.

It is definitely harder to set up, but I really prefer the client we use since it is more authentic and era appropriate.

Disabling features within a client isn't that difficult to do. I'm more concerned with things like soothe window transition not only between boxes but also external programs like a browser.

Alt tabbing is only ideal in so many situations.

That era, you ran full screen. Running eqwindows was the option for windowed alt-tabbing. And it was not always reliable or stable.

Someone could write a better eqw.exe as one option. Or play on a mac.

That era you played on 56K or a rudimentary DSL line if you lived in the right area.

Its safe to narrow it to data tables when you're talking about what should be that era, wouldn't you agree? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When I played the original EQMAC, there was no way to "tab out", we had to use a command like /mci a - this would generate a non-critical error and return control to the desktop until error popup is closed. Does this trick work in PC version?

I've played p2002 on both Mac and PC.

On the PC side, you can use dexpot (or some other virtual desktop software) and you don't really need to "tab out". If you're using eqw you can set up a keybinding to switch between windows or release the mouse.

On the Mac side, you can use mission control and just create 2 or 3 desktops and switch between them. Really pretty seamless once you get it set up, and you can customize the shortcut keys to whatever is convenient.
