2. Use a 14.4 modem, maybe a 28.8 to connect to the internet. Use software like this to add some packet loss, random lag spikes and generally make the connection unreliable.

you can also tether to your cell phone, not wifi, just use your cellular service.. this way when a call comes in or you try and make one you'll DC from the game.

6. Send me $15 every month per account (PM for Paypal). This is critical for immersion.

EQ subscriptions were $9.89/month back in Velious. The premium didn't go up to $14.99 until later expansions.

To add classicness to the feel, you can do the following things on your own:



2b. For full immersion, put your modem on a programmable AC plug and make it disconnect at random times to simulate your sister or mom calling a friend in the middle of your quad kite making you die horribly.

4. Only use the full screen mode

5. Drink 4 large glasses of hard liquor such as whiskey or rhum every time before playing to simulate general cluelessness about the game and Norrath.

6. Send me $15 every month per account (PM for Paypal). This is critical for immersion.

7. Enjoy!

Wasnt the sub like $9.99 in this era before MMO subs started bumping up to $13-15 / mo?

Holy cow... never realized that.

What's missing? I didn't expect such a low grade.

I recall it taking 5-7 minutes to zone from WC to EC. It would also usually take 5-7 minutes to let me know I had officially disconnected.

Gotta say, the classic UI was the best and I used that until they forced a patch on me that removed it.

bard stacking, bolt effects, clicky to refresh spell gems still a bit off, dark night times, UI
