As I read this I was like, YEA! Then i remembered I was meditating and clicked back over to my screen and was like, oh yeah if this was black I wouldn't have even noticed.

That said, it may make the game LESS immersive, if we're always watching youtube while we meditate.

JUST SAYING :cool: sometimes its nice to look at your halfling partymembers faces........ :o

I'm fine with it existing and can live with it personally, but I think we just have to accept that its probably going to kill off the P99-curious newcomers and cull a lot of the population. The question is, is that a good thing, a bad one, or an acceptable sacrifice on the altar of classic?

Im literally a fan of every argument in this discussion. :(

For me, this is where I think it's a good compromise for UI. If one could use any resolution, and keep all these windows up in open world play, have inventory up and the social window. I dont think the inventory is classic though, or the social window for that matter :( and I think without it I'd be sad. But Oh well.

You should /viewport to 4x3 so that your not getting the top and bottom chopped off your world view. (I prefer this even if not trying to be classic. Much easier to see what is going on. Most people playing widescreen don't understand the server hard limits the view width so that widescreen is disadvantagous).

Then you can move UI elements to the side bar(s) more similar to the feel of the stone ui vs the transparent elements

Its a valid opinion and suggestion, but they've already shown its not their vision. Otherwise they would simply not include guise/manastone at all and hybrid penalties would not exist. If you are going to go in the hardcore direction, go as far as you can. We should all be glad that so far they aren't planning to enforce full screen and making tabbing out windowed mode programs a bannable offense.

While you're at it, eliminate the wiki and reseed all mob abilities/drops. Classic ain't classic.

Weed the men out from the boys.

There are going waaaaaaayy too many people playing at launch anyway, if some people are turned off by the Classic server being too classic that’s great.

Hell yeah, there's NOTHING more masculine than staring at a blank screen for 300 hours. Get on our level, children.
