I'm confused. Why remove useful UI utilities? I can understand not having a map, and I totally agree with that, but the compass? The pet window? I'm sorry, but classic or not, those were great additions to the game and should not have been removed.

If you're going to argue "they aren't classic", then um,

This seems so dumb. I'll live without a compass, and I'd manage with a pet if I was playing a pet class, but you're adding unnecessary complexity for no reason other than to say "that's how it was at classic".

Are you older players THAT obsessed with the classic experience that you'd go to such lengths? Shouldn't the server take what was great about classic, and then enhance it with the new of today? Was a compass that much of a gamebreaking concept? Did the pet window give levels of control that were previously unreachable? (HA!) Instead you guys are reverting more informative item tooltips and removing ui components--dumbing down the game for no real reason what so ever.

In all my days of MMO playing I've always loved reading patch notes. I get giddy awaiting all the cool new changes that would await. But today I load up the P99 forums and see this crap. I'm quite disappointed.

Get out

Arent we worried about server population? Is removing pet windows and compass (above and beyond maps already gone) really going to help server population?

I get it.... its classic, but why implement something now, 3 years later, like this that has the chance to drive people away vs invite them in?

I couldnt care less about the compass or pet window.... but new players will certainly struggle with this.

We are classic dawg. Prepare to have your internet connection throttled to simulate 56k. Now suffer.

That's not a bad idea...

Thanks for the patch!

Everyone's Twink gear for lowbies is gonna include a compass item.

Since we're on the Titanium UI you can more or less make a replacement pet window easily enough. Simply open a new hotbar and create the proper buttons for it. The buffs were already disabled from the pet window so you only lose the pet health bar.

Dialup isn't classic unless you were poor, a kid with parents who didn't care about the internet, or lived in the boonies. I had cable internet in 1999, thank you very much.

My wife is mad at you for disabling the compass, Kanras. Not having the maps was bad enough for her.
