I use w for forward, a and d strafe and use the right click of the mouse to turn.

Are you saying I would have to key turn?

No, you can move with those keys. You can't adjust the camera with the right mouse or the mouse wheel. Well, you can move it a bit, but no where near as efficiently.

I could handle the mouse wheel. From what I understand, you can still get to the same view. You just have to hit f9.

If I have to turn my character with the keyboard instead of mouse, I would feel sluggish.

I keep trying it. I really do.

But the client is just such a bummer... The graphics era blows. Even if I changed character models to classic, the zones look like absolute crap. I doubt I totally give up. I want to like this server as a "switch to this screen while medding" on p99 option. But that client though.

You can update zone textures with the update that's available here on the forum, same thing goes for updated character models (unfortunately there exist some transparency issues with the character texture update)

The client is fine and i prefer it to the p99 client. You get used to not mouse-wheeling quickly. If you are continually playing P99 while playing this client of course you are going to keep getting frustrated.

Just for the record, takproject are the only people who released a high quality classic server open source for everyone to use. Haynar, secrets, robregen, speeds, etc. are saviors of classic everquest and now anyone can run their own classic server up until PoP if they want. For this reason alone I prefer takproject over p2002 any day.

It's not even just the mouse wheel. It's the zone textures. I can't stand them. They drive me nuts.

They're classic, after a few weeks playing you'll get used to them plus you'll grow a few extra chest hairs in the process

Those textures aren't classic.

Classic are the textures on p99. The square pixeled stuff.

The ones on p2002 are NOT classic textures. Classic to that era? Probably. But not classic to the original game.

Always remember that the person promoting the server may not represent how the server is run. That kept me from being involved from takp, based on who was the most vocal advertiser. Even though Deathwalking/Forumshifter is advertising the loudest, he does not represent how the server is run.

Takp is a great server. P2002 might be too. P2002 just has a more hands-off approach by GMs which will be more appealing to some. More paricularly when it comes to managing raid rotations, etc..
