Question about a few missing features on P99

[Nirgon]

Well, /consent to fully loot corpse isn't here. So he's close.

Which is sad.

But probably isn't for a glaring CSR reason.

Not like people can be accountable for what's in trade windows let alone typing a command that lets another player FULLY LOOT THEM.

When i first started here people would say consent me. I was like lol yea right buddy

do not really effect gameplay.......why can't we implement /corpsedrag?...this is something else I really don't feel would detract from classic gameplay.......I really don't see why these would not be implemented. These are again just a convenience so that you don't have to type /consent whomever and I really don't see where they detract from classic gameplay.

The goal of this project isn't to cater to the individual and make life easier for you, it's to create a classic EverQuest. The abilities you listed are not classic, therefor will not exist, unless it existed between Vanilla and Velious.

If you think any of the abilities you listed were functioning between 1999 and 2001, create a bug report with evidence supporting your claims.

Well, I must say most people responded as I expected. Very little constructive feedback.

Perhaps the use of the Luclin UI, or any custom UI, should be banned then? They were not around between 1999 and 2001, why are we allowed to use them?

This is just one example, I'm sure can find more, of things that differ. I can understand not doing things like giving clerics lower level rez spells that were added later in the game and completely alter the difficulty of play, but I've yet to see a constructive reason on why not to add things that were mere conveniences other than "they weren't there in classic".

Anyone who remembers button mashing /corpse while doing CR as iconic must've been focusing to much on the button mashing lol. I much more fondly remember the difficulty of flopping through dungeons and trying not to die to casters, praying FD didn't fail at the wrong time, than I do the /corpse. In fact most of the time, post kunark at least, I had /corpse bound to movement keys and my fd key, when doing a cr and would rarely have to even press the /corpse button.

Is typing /consent xxxx really so much of an EQ memory for you that you would that adamantly oppose auto consents? I mean of course /consent was a big deal back when it gave full loot rights, but that isn't the case anymore.

I just don't see why we can't preserve the classic style experience but make enhancements that do not detract from the experience but provide conveniences, like the customizable UI.

Because there is no way to enforce or impose classic UI on Eqemu. I apologize if you feel like my post was not constructive, I am just stating what Devs have stated previously.

Why do you think we had a compass on here for years, and it was removed not long ago?

Most people don't understand the 'its classic' thing. The purpose of this server is not to be a fun server for most people who want a kind of classic experience. The purpose of this server is to be EXACTLY classic for the current timeline period, including annoying and stupid parts. An exact replica, as far as possible. Nobody cares ( in terms of changing the server ) if a certain classic feature is stupid or annoying, or even broken, or not. At least, this is my understanding of it.

There's some things that are really hard to get exactly classic, like hidden calcs about AC and various other things that were never obvious. Other things, such as how or if a particular slash command works, are easier to do.

Obviously, the server is not 100% classic in features or mechanics.

The frustrating part is that not all the features are benign (like item links in chat). There are some crucial aspects that are NOT classic, just look at the raid scene issues we've had for years...


Failing technical limitations, there's absolutely no reason that most of what he listed, could not be used.

They stopped the loot on consent very early in EQ, so it really would not be classic.

the pits was in classic when your friend asked you to drag their corpse and you would accidentally click it in the process.

This helped you build a reputation though. Being a cleric, I hauled corpses all over during the loot phase. Would even 'sneak peaks' and give newbies gear and $$, "I accidentally looted the money on your corpse, here is 10p and a SBS".

Fourth, mouse button binds. This one may be a titanium client limitation, I'm not sure. But for as long as I can remember I've had autorun bound to my mouse button 4. I cannot however make bindings to my mouse buttons on P99.

I got everything bound to my mouse. Just gotta set up your mouse software to bind your buttons to numbers.
