A program that reads your log file and can make timers/alerts based on it and overlay them ontop of your game. People use it for buff timers/spawn timers/fizzle alerts/invis dropping alerts/etc.

Always verify your files. I know there is a fake gina site that's a virus.

I wonder if GINA had a normie interface, would the demands for its banning from sub-90 IQ types drop dramatically?

Oh wow, thats interesting. Why should it matter then to block it.. If you don't want it don't use it.

I would have to agree with Baler here. Green is here to be fun.. were not reliving 1999. With 56k(AoL Cds) and crappy Windows 95 computers. Be happy with what you can manage. Don't use this as I won't either bc meh I can't play 15 hours a day where this would help me. But I won;t be mad at the people who use it. What brings them fun should be the Key element that will keep people playing. Aka more people = generally more people to have Fun with.

Buff timers have been removed for a reason - to make things more classic-compatible. GINA brings buff timers back, and then some. I fail to see the need to argue here.

Now, of course, disabling logs altogether would be a very poor solution to the problem. Logs are good, logs are classic, and as someone mentionned, 20 years from now when people will attempt to make a p99 emulator, today's logs will be invaluable.

But GINA takes away a significant part of what makes EQ - EQ: timing spawns, buffs and closely watching for messages such as "you feel like you're about to appear". That's not coo !

This is not a quest you can win

Always found GINA to be a weird crutch.

Never used it on Live, even when raiding, because if you're observant, you don't need it.

Though I can see the utility here, with the lack of buff timers. That's such a crap thing.
