Yeahlight will never release a server. That dude is the biggest joke of any emulated game.

"No, no. This mechanic is 99% done. I mean, that 1% is a catastrophic error that prevents the entire core mechanic from functioning like it should. But it's 99% done!!!"

"I have no interest in hosting a server without legitimate data."

aka - I have no interest in doing anything, I just like the attention, please give me more.

Oh man, I wish we had these shitty features. Wait, nevermind.

I never got why people come here then bitch about things that are classic. Do you go to bars then complain because they serve alcohol too?

There's a shitload of other emus that aren't trying to recreate classic EQ. The name of the server is Project 1999, and the mission is recreating everything about Everquest in 1999. If that's not what you're for, you should be playing something else.

There's a different between classic gameplay and classic features. I'm all for classic gameplay, however, there are certain updated client features which make things work more smoothly without compromising the integrity ofclassic gameplay. For instance, no one needs to type out 30 characters in chat in order to give someone the stats on the item they just looted. That's just silly.

Yes, that's true (referring to using gamma slider in "classic" days.) To allow a human/barb/erudite to see in some of the darker places you had to turn gamma up so far that you would be blinded by saturation in places like daylit desert zones. Had to be ready to adjust when you zoned.

EQ classic scene seems to attract a lot of these kinds of people.

Given the UI has a transparent option I don't really see having it as the default to be a problem. But going out of the way to prevent users from using a UI they're comfortable with is ridiculous. I can just see the shit-stuffed socks in your mancaves.

Having to play in first person mode made the game much harder and immersive, the only 3rd person views were wacky camera angles.

EQ's 1st person view was even wackier, imo. No one's view is that restricted! That's why, as soon as I could, I went 3rd person. I've never had a problem with immersion. But hey, I'm old school-- I got plenty immersed with Pac-Man, Frogger, etc.

P99 will never be classic eq without a character mirror. oh how i miss classic.
