Tab targeting has been silently removed...

As I mentioned in the other thread... Permafrost Bear Pit days are over for Druids if we can't have tab target cycle. There is just too many things to do and have it work by trying to mouse click on everything...

Click them with the mouse.

I used the space bar to jump but had to take my hand off the mouse to cross over my direction hand.Original EQ came with movement bound to the numberpad iirc. I changed these to arrow keys because it made more sense at the time. Didn't know about WASD yet.

WASD feels inevitable today. Once mouselook became standard in 3D games, it made little sense (at least for right-handed players) to hold your left arm across your chest to reach the arrow keys. The WASD keys were more comfortable, and offered easy access to Shift and Space. But even though WASD seems like the obvious choice now, far fewer players used it 20 years ago.

Note: What does movement have to do with targeting monsters you ask? it is related to how you interacted with the game controls.

Guys it's not like you can't target things anymore [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Look, I summed up the other ways (and when I say "I", I really mean Danth and Daldaen did all the work, and I copied their efforts) on this wiki page: http://wiki.project1999.com/Targeting

I've done bear pits to 60 with my Druid, so while I haven't done it since the patch ... it's not like I'm talking without experience when I say: anyone who thinks it's impossible without cycle targeting really isn't trying very hard.

Tab still works, it just selects the closest. If you want to target a different mob, it simply means that you have to move a little between Tab presses (or you have to mouse click).

That's not hard to do when you have a bunch of bears rooted in place. It's seriously not:
