Hmm, I wonder if I could convince Rogean to limit each connection to a max of 9600 baud? Talk about bandwidth savings!

Making me think could have horrible impacts =D.

I had 14.4k and later 19.2k..

Just saying.

Anyway. I like the classic Everquest, but there are still some parts i just dont like.

I doubt i would play with the classic ui, i still have some screenshots. Some things - imho - dont need to be introduced into p1999.

P1999 is almost perfect how it is. I like the old gameplay, that you are not allowed to bot, that people group and alot more. I dont really need the 100% classic experience, just because *i* would not play the original everquest again. Some things can stay away [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I had 1.5 mps dsl in 2000. 9600 too low.

I never EQ'd on Dial-up either. Cable internet showed up about the same time here. Co-inky-dink!

But 9600 evens the playing field, will bring back people lagging out and crashing on raids. And zones getting laggy when they hit 100 people. =D

The ultimate classic experience is shouting, "laaaaaggggg." Make it so.

The worst was when you weren't done loading but you were "physically" in the zone. Died to so many trains that way.

Can we randomly disconnect players? Having a stable connection is in no way classic.

True very true. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The only thing I remember about /corpse and /consent from classic was running 5 meters, doing a 180, then typing /corpse, then turning away, then running another 5, turning to face the corpse again, and typing /corpse. Usually by then I'd be in a safe enough place to loot.

Oh, and then the day I learned you could type /cor (/c and /co would be abbreviated forms of /con), and that you didn't have to face the corpse to drag it. That really sped things up.

But then, one day in Wakening Lands, I saw a corpse dragging itself past me really really fast! I actually stopped what I was doing because I was laughing hysterically at this obvious hacker and getting ready to petition them. I mean I knew they were invis, but how could they possibly type /cor that fast? HAX

Your memory of corpse dragging is a little different. I didn't discover all that newfangled fancypants autoconsent raid or auto corpse drag stuff until a week after PoP.

I remember having a 56k modem when I started everquest. That was about the same time I quit playing warcraft 2 on ipx (kali). hah.

The ISP I built in 1997 had 100% 28.8kbps modems so definitely at least 28.8 and as I recall we started putting in banks of 56k modems pretty quickly... I too had cable at home by the time I started playing in 2000 (and a T1 at work [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])
