I'd be happy with a transparent classic UI that can work with HD resolutions.

As far as UI display settings:

You should not be able to adjust spell particle settings beyond on/off.
You should not be able to adjust environment or weapon particles at all.
Shadow option should be forced off.

I agree totally, I dont remember shadows in classic EQ :P

I think we need to explore disabling the directx lighting.

/Approved.

Would love to have some Nilbog posts regarding at the very least disabling multi-hotbars and multi-chat windows. Those are two of the bigger ones that I was guessing may be disabled similar to compass/map/songs.

Classic UI changes would be great for the server. Getting people to get an even more authentic grouping and gameplay experience.

And I will still never want to group and will forever prefer boxing. Grouping is for raids. To me, that is what classic EQ was.

Ahh good call.

Damn we need to keep it classic up in this B.

Also worth noting, in the classic UIs the group leader's name was displayed in yellow text in the group window, and if you were the leader it would display in your character info window. Classic UI did have some great features!

Bump, added pet window to this mix! I forgot that was a Luclin addition!

STOP TRYING TO FORCE NEW THINGS ON THE SERVER FOR ME TO LEARN. NERDS.

If they patched any of that stuff in I would prolly die irl. My comp is shit and cant handle all those shiny particles!

But forcing these things would make playing so much more classic. People having multi-chat windows and multi-Hotbutton windows gives them an advantage that classic players never had. Which is bad and gives them inflated egos about how much better at EQ they are as compared to themselves 14 years ago.

Classicizes UIs and see how people adapt to true classic play.

I'm pretty sure you are the only one who cares there.

GUI features make the game, you know, fun. Because I can actually chat with my friends while watching battle spam scroll by. If we were limited to one chatbox I think I would quit on the spot.

/makeleader should go though, I bet that's really easy to do.
