Suggested fix for re-enabling staring at spellbook sub-35
As you can see by the timelines here:
http://www.geek.com/games/everquest-...celift-549422/ staring at a spellbook under level 35 was necessary until 2002 (well after Velious release in 2000). Since the client will not support blocking the screen with the book, what if the blind effect were applied to players under level 35 with meditate active? Would it be possible to swap the UI elements so the spell book/spell gems were layered on top of the screen after blind (instead of blind covering them all)? Alternatively, could all NPC/PC characters be made invisible (sent as invisible by the server etc.) if the blind fix would not work?

It isn't a ridiculous request, it is a suggestion to attempt to bring back something that was classic (hate it or love it).
There are many things that could be added to make it more current/fun, such as global chat channels, maps, compass etc. however those are not p99 specific nerfs having them removed, it is the point of the entire project (a true classic experience).

When you were meditating you were still able to see chat. Melee characters were important to have as they watched your back while medding. Dunno if the blind option would work.

Yeah. This is actually important. Kinda strange all the bad make-your-life-suck-more nerfs that have been implemented and this one (the most crippling) still hasn't
I'm a big fan of the HUD compass, i hate wasting hot key on sense heading.

I believe a few UI elements paint on top of blind currently (I think maybe just the latency bar) - this would obviously require they be shuffled around so chat/book/spell gems were also on top.
It would sort of make sense that chat be displayed when blind anyways, since you are blind (not deaf).

This seems pointless when people with high resolutions can just push the book to the corner and ignore it blocking the game ui. I don't think it will work with Titan client.

The blind effect takes up 100% of the screen, which is why I suggested applying it as a fix [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't see this happening. The compass fix was easy to fix up and this is totally unnecessary. I'm still not sure it's possible to have a blind effect with chat overlays without it being easily circumvented. I love the nostalgia of eq but don't waste the time of nil/rogeans time better spent on future projects.
