Convenience Features on Blue?

My point was they already changed some of the classic stuff already, for whatever reason, so the "purity" is already gone

I have no interest in the rest of your argument: make your case for keyrings or whatever ... I might even agree with you. But don't try and say (more or less) "what's one more unclassic thing among many?", when there's a clear difference between stuff that has to be and stuff that doesn't.

There's no hypocrisy on the part of the Project 1999 staff: they want all "QoL features" gone. For various reasons they have to keep some, and you're completely right that it's not 100% pure ... but it is 100% as pure as they can make it.

(Finish the damned MoB pop up feature!!)

Do you mean the loc map feature? We have almost all cities and half the zones, but if you want to help see: http://wiki.project1999.com/Adding_a_Loc_Map

I am just saying I think there are things YOU don't know, or haven't considered. Once again, my bad, I should have been more clear on my expression of view. Please forgive.

No harm, no foul, and there are many things I don't know and haven't considered.

But like I said, I have written about half the non-classic compendium (and reformatted the rest). I've also been on this forum for half a decade, and this has been discussed many, many times, so it's not like what I'm saying is out of nowhere.

"temptation to others who don't want them."

I guess this confuses me. I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying others will be upset because they will use something they don't want to use? If that is indeed the case, then they have a much deeper issue that extends beyond annoyance a a video game.

We already went down this road before. The devs are doing all this work to reverse those changes, why bother putting all that work. As for our resident troll, Snortles, his comment is an exaggeration but its where this road leads. Some people don't understand that once you open the gate you can't close it.

It's as classic as it's going to be and the changes that are in are so for a legitimate reason. I don't understand the point of keeping the blue server around honestly. I want the green experience and if that means every 4 or so years my characters end up on some twink server with all of these QoL changes than they might as well get deleted. Without new expansions the difficulty is going to plummet anyway.

The sad reality is that the extremely vocal minority of people who play on blue, and even smaller even more vocal minority of those players who actually frequent and post on this forum will always shout louder "CLASSIC! FU!" because most players don't post here and they don't feel as strongly as the extremely vocal minority.

That vocal contingent won't be satisfied until the powers that be are able to replicate random disconnects that are "classic" because of how awful internet was back then. They think that anything that makes the game even the slightest bit more enjoyable for the vast majority of players is a bad thing if it's not "classic". They value the pain and difficulty of the game during the "classic" era as the most important thing about the game and the era when in reality if they were actually honest with themselves they would admit that people didn't play everquest back then because of these things but in spite of them.

The game wasn't subsequently ruined by small QoL changes that the incredibly large majority of players on this server would cry tears of joy for, but because of the actual content of the game. These are things that the "CLASSIC! FU!" crowd will absolutely never admit to, and they will continue to take joy and excitement at our pleas and frustration. Either because they derive actual enjoyment or because they are unhappy in their lives and resort to trolling to fill a void.

Keep up the fight though OP. Maybe one day.
