Hardcore vs. Casual vs. Entitled, in a nutshell

[vulzol]

Some quick differences between Classic and P1999

- Classic interface had one chat window
- Cell phones were not widely used for batphone during Classic era
- Limited use of teamspeak due to 56k connections and shitty computers
- Play nice policy was actually enforced
- Classic didn't have Kunark out for 2 years
- Server resets with spawns on Classic

1) would be fixed if they could fix it.
2) is not a server problem
3) is not a server problem
4) is not a server problem (that is a GM problem and from some classic recollections it's as classic here on P99 as some of the live servers)
5) kunark is classic, classic is classic.
6) is a server problem.

Actually it is a server problem because the experience of classic EverQuest involved lack of cell phones and playing with 56k connections. The mechanics worked back then because it was much harder for people to organize, mobilize, and hell, zone fast enough to take all the raid spawns.

Implement simulated long ass zoning time to be more classic?

Flag all messages as same type so even if a player has multiple chat windows they still all get flooded into all windows.

Don't remember people having fraps hotkeyed back in 1999 either ...

Tecmos troll thread fails bc its in RNF instead of server chat. If it was in SC then casuals would see it n add thier opinions ab how dumb/wrong your "definitions" are.

Here mostly hardcores or desperate at work people dont really care bc we alrdy kno where we fit in. Movin along.....

artificially inflate latency to 56k levels.
