I noticed in some older screenshots of players that the font for players and NPC's was smaller or not as bold as the font in P99 or later versions of the game. I'm assuming this was a change that happened on live when newer graphics were introduced but maybe I'm mistaken. Just curious about when this changed actually occurred and if there is a way to set it in game, not game breaking I know but just wondering.

Yep, the name plate drop shadow is a titanium client thing.

For the love of Christ can we stop bringing this shit up? Like we need a more "classic" experience than what we have now?

Maybe we should start requiring that everyone plays on a 56k modem and Pentium II processor with a CRT that looks like it came from the Fallout Universe?

Oh I almost forgot, "because classic yo" derp derp.

No one said anything when I suggested ways to simulate classic internet and processor speeds :(

Sorry for rustling jimmies..

This is my first EQ server so my question is valid. I wasn't even saying that this should be added I was merely asking when the change occured.

Don't mind the forum trolls, a lot of pent up agression over the length of the dragon pixel queue in class R raiding...they need an outlet.

Notice he hasn't replied since? It's because he knows everyone disagrees with him.













And he's bitch made.

I too would rather have the devs working on bugs and Velious than trying to change the font of mobs in game

Call it whatever you want, but I would rather have Velious than the devs go around tweaking the titanium client to best fit the 'classic UI' feel.

If you are a proponent of a change like this and run anything other than the first UI with book up while medding, you're a hypocrite.

Well, why are you telling us? The Petition / Exploit section is there for a reason, telling the devs what they should be working on.

They go hand in hand brah. Can't have Velious without a forced Velious UI.

Oh please Jesus let this be true.

I'm tired of people playing non-classic UIs. I don't even like the fact that I can move items in banked bags! It's nonsense. People getting in and out of the bank in 2 minutes is heresy.

Every should spend 15 minutes juggling bags and swapping items, like classic intended.

Talked with HP Haynar and messing with that code right now could result in duping issues. :( Will be a while before it is addressed, if ever.

With all due respect Daldaen, how does someone using a Duxa UI (or Leewong etc) impact your own immersion? :p
