Tab targeting has been silently removed...

Now this is some shit I can get behind. I never used voice comms until way after I quit EQ during post-Planes of Power. We raided Vindi thru PoTime with typing. I'd love to not have to get on a discord when I go raid halls of testing in P99.

I would support that on Green server. Blue is too ingrained in its ways.

I despise voice chats and I only sit in discord to slake my lust while I can't play.

It kills my immersion. One thing I like to do is just read the text in my chat window and picture it coming from the player's pixeled graphic, not a real life person.

I know.....it's corny, but it works for me and I am normally cracking up when I am in the zone!

As I said previously, Tabbing through npcs was at the very least Velious, if not classic; cycling through PCs was added during PoP (possibly as late as LDoN, but in NOWAY as late as your 2004 blurb). How do I know this? Because I played then and have distinct memories of trying it for the first time during the Gods phase of PoTime. That's why I say possibly as late as LDoN - because it was the last expansion a top tier guild would still be farming PoTime. This was PCs however; NPCs had long since been in game.

Your supposed evidence to the contrary does nothing but quote the ability to (re)assign hotkeys and queries by random people asking for help at <insert a random point in time>.

Despite my defense of the devs in making such changes, I really really remember it this way as well. The wording of the patch seems to be more focused on "you can now make ____ hotkey" more than "you can now cycle target NPC's".

I know my memory isn't perfect and its been a long time but this is a pretty common command to have been missing for basically the entire time I was playing. I have a hard time believing it stuck in my mind so much based only on the brief amount I still played in 2004 during which I only logged in to raid our weekly time clear and then left again.

See Secrets quote from the EQMac client which was the base game client from PoP. There was no Cycle NPC hotkey back then. You are mistaken.

It’s natural for memories that are nearly 18 years old to be faulty especially when you currently play P99 and mix in your current experiences with the memories from the past. This is why player memories aren’t used as evidence to change things in classicquest.

Wasn't the EQMac client a totally separate client actually? I mean maybe it had the same basic functions I understand, but technically it wasn't the same client right?

Tab targeting was a thing from when I started pre-kunark. You couldn't change the keys, but you had tab targeting

Yeah same way I remember, are we sure that patch didn't simply allow you to rebind the "hotkey" from tab to whatever you want?

I'm 100% certain that there was a system for targeting NPCs that did not require a mouse. I didn't target anything with my mouse from 1999-2004
