Preach.

There is a whole slew of things that are not classic, most of which you guys take for granted to this very day.

Patches from January 2002 - June 2002

- NPC and PC corpses can now be /considered to find out how long until
they decay, and PC corpses additionally tell you how long you have to
resurrect them
- /ttell and /shownames commands introduced (Jan. 8)

Patches from July 2002 - December 2002
- /makeleader command introduced & LD group member no longer bugs the group (July 24)(CotH chain anyone?)

That's just to name a few "non-classic" things we get to use, so justifying the removal of pet window just because it's "non-classic" is absurdity.

LOL Forced UI and custom raid encounters. I think it might be time to take this thing out back and end its misery.

Sounds like original live. Forced UI between original UI/Velious UI and if they caught players doing something messed up at raids they changed it. Wasn't custom though.

I don't remember custom UIs coming until much later. Here is what you should be using in 4:3

It's not. They just want us on green to they can close red and blue and be done. It's no where close to classic. Since 2000 we had a pet window.

I played a Necro main for 7 yes before monk being my end toon. Never since did I have to use socials or type /pet kill or /pet back off. I wouldn't have ever played one pet alone scored best of the best. The trolls saying we never had pet window for go or commands are simply lying to help facilitate this transition.

Loramane it's time to go bro

News flash, green isn't gonna have a pet window either. Green is also gonna only have 6 hotkeys per page instead of the 10 on blue!

Show proof or gtfo. I, for one, specifically remember having all those pet commands on my second or sometimes 3rd hotkey pages.

...And count your blessings they (seemingly) won't enforce the original periscope-window UI. Velious UI was a big step up from that.

I made a necro shortly before original launch of Kunark. There was no pet window. I had to make hotkeys. You had the original UI and Velious, can you link a pet window for those please to help us understand?

Modern MMOs have all you crybabies so coddled. EQ was fucking hard. That's why you're here right? Please continue crying as your tears do nothing but sustain the beautiful image of EQ.

Perhaps you knew this already, but there are more hotkey pages. Hit Shift 2 and put some pet command macros there. Or Shift 3, or Shift 4, all the way to 0 (aka 10). I hope this is helpful.
