I remember when I made my first human. Logged in, couldn't see anything, logged out. Never went back.

My very first EQ character was a human warrior, back in the early beta before Freeport was even in game. I remember having to actually use the in game paths in the zones so I wouldn't get lost at night...that's immersion right there.

I still watch for possible light sources as a sign of someone is invisible...even with see invis on...habits. Or coming along blind corners.

First took was a wood wood ranger...scrambling to find the elusive 'orc hill' and later playing a human only to realize how much better the elf eyes were. Final took in true classic was DE purely because cranking up my brightness and moving close to the screen didn't work all that well.

Good old days...when no one knew how to spawn AC, so our guild just killed everything and crossed fingers.

I for one think the Discord server should be tuned to have casters med with spellbooks. Melee have a extreme disadvantage IMO. It would be nice if we could implement this classic feature to level the curb of this game to a classic approach...
im not a dev or a nilbog, but im pretty sure the titanium client is the only thing preventing this. and if it was possible it would absolutely be implemented on the discord server, as well as the P99 Blue and Red servers. nilbog would love to force books into the faces of casters [You must be logged in to view images.

Didn't books in front of caster faces go away with Velious?

Post Luclin:

Spell casters no longer need to see their spell book when meditating. Once a character has the meditation skill, it will function when the character is sitting down.

Luclin release date: December 4, 2001

Ok nice find, but with the Velious UI didnt that mean the spellbook just had to be open for casters to meditate, you could still see around it (the UI itself was transparent as well).

In contrast to the classic UI where you could see nothing.

Yeah, aside from anything Vex Thal related (makes camping pained soul look like a walk in the park) I enjoyed Luclin quite a bit, especially Ssra Temple.

As for the ability to move the window thats a great question - I believe the Velious UI was the first one to allow customization so it is entirely possible you are correct and you could drag the window or even make it smaller.

Unfortunately any ability to do something like that is gone with Titanium. A required sacrifice for a stable client to be shared among the emu community I'm afraid. No more human vision, character doll preview and blind medding among other things!

it's also almost 2016 and that window would be atrocious on our technology and monitor sizes, and I can only think of about 3 masochist that would actually want to play on such an early caveman ui

also yes i wish there was a p99 quality emu that planned to go higher than velious like luclin and pop because I never played those
