Also are you forgetting about /gems?

Gems wasn't implemented at launch. Not classic!

Awesome

Note that fullscreen meditate was only fully removed in 2002. Hence this really ought to be on "blue" as well.

Players had to manually use the meditate skill prior to mid 2000. There was a slash command for it in addition to the UI button. The command was removed when meditating was made automatic (the UI button remained in-place as a sort of relic).

I can only assume people posting in support of this really want green to fail. This would truly ruin the server, and would be such a shame.

For the TRULY classic experience, green should throttle everyone's connections to dialup speeds. Otherwise it's just not classic!!! Also we should lock resolution at 800x600, no one played on a resolution bigger than that. HMM how can we make everyone use rollerball mice and giant CRTs to play? Is that possible? Oh and fullscreen mode only of course, tabbing out of the client is NOT classic.

yeah and where is my mom constantly interrupting me. It would not be the same. :-)

I sure hope, that staring at a blackscreen while medding is optional.

Can we at least get Gems? It was literally the only thing that made spellbook med tolerable.

Green will detect if you have two monitors plugged in while playing and will ban you if you do. Having two monitors is NOT classic, you have to play in 800x600 full screened on a single monitor

You know a change is right if it's making people mad

Yeah, but the last change which made people mad (removing pet window) made folks cry so hard they re-implemented it. Probably going to be the same with spell book.

I agree also. Can you imagine how mad everyone will be when they implement network connection throttling to get everyone playing at dial-up speeds? Everyone will be furious that the game is unplayable! That's how you know it's a good patch.

Spellbook med is classic AF and should definitely be in if the devs can get it working.

What seems like a pointless annoyance actually has major gameplay consequences. First of all, it helps to balance out the caster/melee power disparity in classic, which is hugely in favor of casters. Secondly, it greatly encourages grouping through the low levels. Casters are much more vulnerable when medding. They need at least one melee to look out for them or else risk having a mob sneak up on them.
