Player made chat channels?

[Xer0]

I remember later into my time on EQ I discovered there were serverwide channels one could join, is this possible at all? I dont think it was classic era, but it sure was nice being able to say, chat with people in class specific channels, or see trade offerings from around the globe. Just a thought!

[Wudan]

"compass" is all I am gonna say

IIRC, chat channels were added in 2002, which is way beyond Velious.

Luclin or PoP right?

Anyone happen to know when Focus effects came to be? Thought that was late Velious but I can't recall.

Luclin.

Luclin's starting to no look so bad, huh?

Luclin not coming out, nor is your focus effects and serverwide chat channels. :)

I'm all for a periodically restarted "timeline" server (maybe let people xfer one character to current P99 server before wipe) that somehow forces us to use original shitty interfaces, spellbook meditating and all...

Once we get that going, this server could bring back GUI enhancements that only made the game less painful to operate. (guild and raid management windows were SO nice)

[Somekid123]

^Naw

There was FT and pet focus spells. Anything else is after Velious, I believe.

[Vandy]

Yea may get some of these things well after Velious is released if there is enough manpower to support it when a new timeline server is released. So I'm thinking 3-5 years and you could see some custom content with some of this added in.

Preaching to the choir. Luclin added tons of awesome shit. Tradeskills are actually useful beyond a single quest! Scripted raid events that involve more than just corner/tank! More itemization choices! Beastlords! Bazaar so you don't have to deal with haggling, can just set a price and if it doesn't sell it doesn't sell! Nexus for a nice gathering place, keep in mind... it takes longer to port you anywhere (0-15min) with more limited options than is currently available with the number of high level druids/wizards on this server. Since it seems like nobody starting here is afraid to / 29 60 druid and /tell for a port (non-classic).

Vah Shir were dumb, sure. Doesn't make the whole expansion suck balls though.
