Old school names/format, no item links, and have to type out all stats etc. Just genuine 99 experience [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

At first I thought maybe Titanium client is too new? But then I see they were able to remove pet windows, maps etc. I don't know what client EQClassic uses but this looks very nice. Truely reminds me of the days of old.

EQClassic uses the 2001-produced (there's also a 2002 version) Trilogy disks. That means it has the interface which the P1999 "Velious Interface" seeks to replicate as well as the older fullscreen "periscope mode" interface. The Titanium client used by P1999 does have its limitations but they're not necessarily as severe as might be thought. Features such as item links, 8 spells per spellbook page, and multiple chat windows can all be removed from the present interface P1999-Green uses, if desired. These features were left in by deliberate choice of the P1999 admins for various reasons. Links, for example, are regarded as a tool to reduce GM workload (always in short supply here) by reducing scamming.

A few other features like the stamina bar not working cannot be fixed within current knowledge. Attempts have been made and it'll be fixed if a breakthrough is ever made.

I always thought that Everquest was an example of a game made by programmers and not game developers, and that screenshot of the old UI is a clear example of why

It was a product of its time. Look at Baldur's Gate released the year before, same idea.

god damn eqClassic is a work of art.

From what I understand that project has been worked on religiously longer than P99.. and its still private!

afaik p99 actually started after eqclassic because that server was offlimits to the public, as a temporary classic solution, where it would work backwards and fix what they could, and eventually everyone would go onto the eq classic server. But for all kinds of reasons I dont really want to speculate about that didnt happen.

P99 is something special though all in of itself. Almost as special as everquest at this point I think. It's almost been around half as long and has really become the lexicon for classic information, that's pretty impressive.

Edit: God dammit now I'm loramin.

It would be. Is there even anyone still working on it actively? Its been very slow development...

Disabling item links on Green would be nice.

Probably 15 minutes of Secrets's time needed (if he could disable the forced /dyn lightings while he's at it, he'd be my hero).

It's actually extremely easy to remove than that.

Hint: inspecting items should not have an icon in the UI window during classic.

Removing item linking would be terrible. I pray they don't do that lol. It's classic enough as is.

hehe see my edit fastboy!

There is 1 guy still working on it too I think, and there is a discord and (semi?) active form. It has him the as the only non slayed developer on the credits page.

I followed the development/forums a long time ago. I even participated in some of the early early testing (maybe almost 10 years ago now?).

I don't recall the details, but from what I remember the guy leading the development essentially abandoned the project and Harakari eventually picked it up...but I don't think I've heard much in the last few years to the point that I figured it was dead.

I hit up the forums this morning b/c of this thread and the last dev update, which was from Harakari still, is over 1 year old. Either progress is VERY slow or non existent.

Hopefully someone is creeping it along slowly. Honestly though, at this point, I'm pretty happy with p99 and titanium. I'm not sure I have enough of the truly classic itch in me to go much farther back than the current setup on green...I'd def try it out, I think it is essentially a niche project of a project that was already a very niche product.
