Wow, could you be more ungrateful? They're being selective because they can't fix everything at the same time. They're doing all this work for free, so the argument "well X item isn't classic, how dare they fix Y item to be classic" is not only flawed, but deeply entitled.

theyre not doing this shit for free. theyre fucking gods in norrath and were their slaves. im sure just like crooked cops they enjoy having a power play and control over 1000+ people whenever they log into this fucked up game.

That's a stretch. Why would you go to all the trouble to run an EMU when you could just kidnap a couple of girls and keep them in your basement for the same effect?

Make your own server the way you want and break the chains man. You only have yourself to blame for your continued servitude. Its a free server that you play because you enjoy it. Quit making ridiculous analogies.

But that's not the true classic UI. Only noobs played in that windowed mode. You could go full screen since day 1 (beta in fact):

This was it if you pressed F10:

I'm not sure why everyone thinks you could only use the windowed one during classic.

Alloria a noob, I think not!

But the full screen mode one is acceptable too. Still limits to 6 hot button slots, 1 hot bar, and spell book blocks your view.

I put some thought into this topic, here's why I think the change is actually good for the server long term:

First off, nothing happened that ruined the server. All it did was make the game harder to play. If you think about it, almost all classic mechanics just force the player to be more heavily invested in the game world and considering what to do or how to do it. Yes it is a simple thing, but it is another thing that prevents people from playing on auto pilot. Which I think is probably beneficial. If we had all "annoying" classic features removed I think people would faceroll through a lot of content without having to work as hard or put as much thought it. Eq is and was addictive because it is hard, so I think this is overall good because it is another obstacle for players to get through. If you want to go through the "time isn't skill" argument then soe has a nice server where you can buy an 85...

Second thing is I think change is beneficial for the server even if it's somewhat inconvenient or minor. Forcing people to play the game different kinda makes the game new... if they were to say "okay I guess it's good now" and not change anything else, it would get boring because you know nothing new is coming. I think that's why small changes like this and even keeping velious off for basically forever are good because people know the game is still gonna change at some point. That makes it more interesting overall.

Third is that anything that nerfs anything players are gonna complain about. People don't like to be made less powerful or to have something they had taken away. If this wasn't in the server from the start people wouldn't complain, they would accept it's how it is. Basically the devs did the right thing, and people are gonna cry and complain but it was still the right decision for the server. Ofc no one likes it, but we will adapt and the server will be better for it overall in the long run.
