Potential new player with questions
First off, I want to say this whole thing is amazing. You people are doing God's work. I used to play EQ back in '99-'00 with a few friends (LAN party style!) and our parents would bark at us to go outside and play. Being a 14 year old kid, I never really made it past level 20 on a dwarf cleric (who I thought could melee his way through life, I was an idiot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) but I still got so much out of that playtime. No modern MMO has ever been able to recreate that feeling with me. I actually stopped playing Guild Wars 2 to pursue EQ again (my co-worker thinks I'm crazy but he doesn't understand!) Enough with the background...
I currently play on the Live servers, for about a week now. And while it's been nice to relive SOME of the classic moments (I had a nerd-gasm hearing the loot sound and seeing the classic character models still in some of the shops in Kaladim) The experience just is not the same. I realized it when I no longer had an intense fear for the South Ro zone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] One of my biggest complaints is the new character models (luclin?) and I would even prefer the original grey UI as well (as crazy as that sounds) Sorry, I'm rambling. I'm looking to make the switch from EQLive over to P99. I know I'll have to get Titanium, sign up for EQEmulator and launcher stuff and I know the "boxing" rules but is there anything else I should know before taking the plunge? I hope I will be asking for a bind soon! I'm dreading my first actual corpse run! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

You will have a difficult time getting the grey UI back, but the Velious UI has been emulated fairly well. The Velious UI can be found here:
http://www.project1999.org/files/veliousuiv3.zip A reproduction of the classic UI was in the works, but it appears it went down with MegaUpload: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3680 As for titanium, you could utilize those burned ISOs you kept of your EQ:Titanium disks and then you wouldn't need to pay anyone for freeware (the EQ client).
