Whoa - could you elaborate on what this is? Classic Client with a eqemu server? EQC?

I think it would be a sweet idea... but why do I have the feeling it would just turn into a Rants & Flames board and not something that really would add that "EQ Feel" to the game? Or maybe that's what people want on the boards - hah I dunno!

Well, why couldn't the admins make a rule about not using the message boards for spam or rants? Just punish those players that do it and keep the crap on the forums. Leave the MBs for recruitments, trading and groups.

this is classic as far as I can remember.

YES i was gonna make a thread about the message boards but i forgot.

They add some flavor to the taverns however i dont think people will be forming groups up there lol.

I just want them so i can write "Spud wuz here"

I remember useing them in classic, just another thing that made classic eq cool. I have not seen them functioning on any emu, and I remember not being able to use them at a certain point post classic. I just assumed that if it had not been fixed yet, then it probably couldn't be fixed?

Right they really had a limited use, but would be fun to have them.

Would appreciate any responses about this.

Does anyone know of any screenshots of the in-game bulletin board system? I don't remember, but it was probably very simple because I don't recall editing or deletion functionality. I don't remember how many bulletins were stored (could you see posts from 2 years ago?).

If it were possible to bring them back I would love it. I was disappointed when they took them out in the first place.
However, it may not be possible, when the message boards were first removed it's likely they made changes to the eq client and removed or commented out functions necessary for it to work.
On the server side anything is possible, but there may be client side code that's just not there anymore

if they are put back in....kaladim is going to get hit hard with some dwarf love messages...


i will bring glory back to kaladim!

but I also know they were nearly never used and doubt they'd be used here on p1999 even if they did work.

I clicked on one just 2 days ago when I happened by one, I mad a sadface and moved along, but it would be an awesome tool for those who do use them.
