The flexible and animated UI would be nice to have for any future Windows game. I have a long standing disagreement with multiplatforming as they must be controller compatible. A regression from a desktop computer. EQ is a desktop computer game.

What if the UI for eq reflected your race, class and diety choice. Gnomes would be all gears and tinkering stuff.

That last new piece of hardware for computers (related to games) was the Ageia PhysX card around 07. Nvidia bought them and incorporated the technology (Geralts hair hah)

EQ doesn't have physics like that, its completely better for it. Flowing capes are gross (DAoC).

I favor the older design before they went hog wild for consoles that lead into mobile. There was little hope for the Rebels during the PC vs. Consoles wars, the leaders were secret members of the console empire. They lasted long as they could. Today you can only find remnants of them if you know where to look, mostly in those old cantinas on planets people have long forgot.

Default Windows to Console To Mobile.

Coming soon to Windows 11 for all you men of brains.



Hey guys, I have a great idea. Lets use mobile influences combined
with console dumbing down for your Desktop games.

“[..]Although personally, I think cyberspace means the end of our species."
Yes? Why is that?"
Because it means the end of innovation," Malcolm said. "This idea that the whole world is wired together is mass death. Every biologist knows that small groups in isolation evolve fastest. You put a thousand birds on an ocean island and they'll evolve very fast. You put ten thousand on a big continent, and their evolution slows down. Now, for our own species, evolution occurs mostly through our behaviour. We innovate new behaviour to adapt. And everybody on earth knows that innovation only occurs in small groups. Put three people on a committee and they may get something done. Ten people, and it gets harder. Thirty people, and nothing happens. Thirty million, it becomes impossible. That's the effect of mass media - it keeps anything from happening. Mass media swamps diversity. It makes every place the same. Bangkok or Tokyo or London: there's a McDonald's on one corner, a Benetton on another, a Gap across the street. Regional differences vanish. All differences vanish. In a mass-media world, there's less of everything except the top ten books, records, movies, ideas. People worry about losing species diversity in the rain forest. But what about intellectual diversity - our most necessary resource? That's disappearing faster than trees. But we haven't figured that out, so now we're planning to put five billion people together in cyberspace. And it'll freeze the entire species. Everything will stop dead in its tracks. Everyone will think the same thing at the same time. Global uniformity. [..]”

No. I would not even work , everquest like most rpgs of his time come to be from the 80s generation wich grow with ADD and other rpgs of the age.

the players shaped these games , u just had to look at the names of players back then wich would try to blend into the game with roleplaying names .
