Wish I had a cellphone back in the day that could run multiple timers like i do now. Used to have to use my stupid clock on my computer. There are multiple work arounds and people act like its the end of the world.

That's not classic. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I personally think spell timer could have stayed. But it isn't my server, I am a guest, so it is what it is. Not going to QQ about it.

GINA is not against the rules/EULA.

It is no longer explicitly allowed by the EULA, but it is still only reading from the log files, and until they are stating that it is against the rules, either by an official statement, or by changing the EULA and rules to show this. I see no reason to not use it, if you are inclined to use such tools.

This is the 2nd time I've seen you make the claim that "It is no longer explicitly allowed by the EULA" and I'm not sure which EULA you're reading.

When you start P99 and the EULA comes up it *STILL* clearly states:

No one uses an egg timer?

No. Because it's 2015.

As much as I enjoy classic content and 99% of the gameplay. I'm not neckbeardy and/or rose colored glasses-y enough to enjoy the worst parts of classic for no reason.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

There's always PEQ server if you want your compass, target box con color, Luclin models etc etc back.

I have use this in the past to keep track of haste on pet or for root on a SK mob for Theft of Thought in Charasis.

There is also a countdown timer which is nice for putting on 6 seconds to know when to sit for med ticks.

Classic Hipsters circa 2015.

I read somewhere long ago that the reason Sony implemented a lot of UI features in game was because people were using third party software to do it anyway and they didn't want newer players to be at a huge disadvantage.

Personally, I'm glad p99 devs don't cater to casuals to boost subscriptions. Losing the buff timers hurts. But like most classic changes, it separates those who can adapt from those who can't.
