I play 3rd-person in other games, but I don't know how anyone can do it in EQ. If you mouse scroll out you're too low (the camera doesn't hover above you like in other games) and if you use the other way of doing 3rd-person you're constantly having to cycle through F10 options.

First person for me.

you should be able to lower the camera when wheeling out, right click and right left turns you up down moves your camera

I've been gradually shifting to full-time 3rd person mode more and more. It has a lot to do with bard tactics, but it also has a lot to do with how awesome my little guy has gotten and how I just want to appreciate him all the time.

Played strictly in first person on live back in 99-2001, but I just can't do it anymore. Not sure why exactly, I guess I've just been corrupted by newer mmo's. Please forgive my petulance.

I think those of you who used to but don't anymore forget the classic ui that was forced on you, I played a dorf in 3rd person and remember everytime I tried to loot a mob I had to click as close to the corner as I could get and I would still inspect myself half the time.

it was so much easier to loot/merchant/trade etc etc in first person due to the ui, now that we don't have the restrictions its not so bad

Both. I, like others, originally played in first. Sometime during velious i started switching to third. Specifically in open spaces such as EW. Where I was prone to falling into large crevasses at the entrance of Kael. I also used third person to see how close a mob was on my tail. Its about 50/50 now. Anytime I'm in a dungeon I almost always end up first person. I cannot stand my point of view being outside of the graphic area. There are several looting and targeting reasons to use first person as well.

So.... 3rd person or 3rd person? lol
Scrolling out of first person would turn it into 3rd person.
