By the time they force the ui and graphics changes, Live will have its shit together and people will just move over to there.

Not going to complain. It's his server and he can run it however he wants. When it stops being enjoyable to play here I'll move on. Simple as that.

If the annoyance of adjusting to a different UI robs the game of enjoyment for you, sure that makes sense. I'm pretty sure I'll get over it myself, tho I may rant a little (or a lot) first.

While UI is being dumbed down, please also force everyone onto 33k modem connection, 400 Mgh Celeron CPU and 32MB of ram and 4Mb Video (NON 3D). Oh yeah - random timeouts every 5 min and disconnects every half hour. Now THAT will truly crank up the difficulty and nostalgic value.

EQ UI was BAD to start with - early reviewers clearly called it "unintuitive and cumbersome" even by the 99s standards and expectations.

And while the original UI supposedly will make game harder, we have everyone favorite classical exploit (MQing) that makes the game hellova lot easier than it should have been. So I see that the notion is: lets dumb down the UI to introduce artificial burden, but lets keep an obvious exploit in the game.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.

Not classic.

Everquest required a 3D accelerator to run.

What I meant no fancy shit with dedicated sub-cpu like NVDIA.
Simple 3D accelerator was built it into my $16 8Mb ATI card - the game worked. But like total crap, and I could not load Kunark zones at all until I got cheap upgrade to Radeon 32MB.

See, now that's one of the bits that'll get me ranting. When a change has the primary effect of separating those who go the extra mile with out of game appliances (hello programmable "eggtimer" on the desk) from those who do not, I'm 100% willing to voice my opinion that it's a bad choice. That's actually my main issue with the single chat window also, its greatest effect is to place a much larger value on out of game chat resources.

Character models are a part of the game's original design. Trying to compare classic model enforcement to technical advances is apples to oranges.
