Loading messages

[tsuchang]

Often I squint and try to speed read all those loading messages.
There has to be a list of them somewhere, they are right up there with the Laws of Acquisition in importance.

We could even add a few.

I turned the loading messages off because it gives me a placebo effect that it helps with reducing zone crashing. I had forgotten that there were actual messages in there.

This ZAM link seems to have a ton of them in the comments. I'm sure a lot of them are after classic, but the loading screens in P99 may be specific to the Titanium client and already "not classic". I dunno.

Only in era loading messages for me. Full immersion is listening to Mambo #5, Sugar Ray, and Limp Bizkit while staring at this loading screen gif on my 60 lb. CRT monitor:

It looks like the messages are embedded in eqgame.exe itself (so it's probably not easy to add your own). Here are all the ones in the Titanium Client:

We all listened to bad music in 1999. But we are talking about loading messages here, so lets just ask:

If Fred Durst wrote a loading message fpr EQ, what would it say?
