Why not change the zone in times to 2-4 minutes the way it used to be with the old PCs and 19200 modems?

I'm pretty sure I was playing QTest (the beta version of DOS Quake) in 1996 with like a 28.8 modem. By the year 2000 I think they were up to around 200kbps, still not exactly speedy but lighting fast compared to 1996 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How about forcing the 3D world to a tiny window in the middle of your screen and 1st person only view? Not allowing custom UIs? That was the "Classic" that was fun

God damnit this shit needs to die already. There weren't custom UIs but you could play full screen and use third person, you did not have to use the windowed UI. This is full screen EQ in 1999:

Hell full screened EQ during BETA:

And this is what the UI looked like in late Kunark and Velious:

eq in general is not challenging so where are you doing with that logic?

wow raiding is takes alot more skill than eq, what are you talking about. in eq you can bring 400 players to naggy if you want. there is no cap. raid bosses go down in 10 seconds or less most of the time. leveling here is pretty damn easy as this game is 15 years old and everyone knows the places to go. i dont play everquest because of the "challenge", i play it because i love the game world, norrath.

So you do things that take away from the challenge of eq? We did not have 400people on naggy raids in classic. We were lucky to get 50. Go solo a warrior in wow to lvl cap and then come do it here and tell me its not a challenge. Due to the make up of this server some things are not challenging but that does not take away from the challenge that eq provides that other games do not. Arguing that we should go to broken or absurd mechanics out of some devotion though is just absurd.

pretty stand before you cast is absurd? you can already play eq with 10apm. you really are complaining about nothing.

what i dont get is this server doesnt hide that is it trying to emulate classic the best it can. this means if they could force classic UI and spellbook med, they would. YOU KNOW THIS SIGNING UP so to sit here and complain about classic mechanics is just stupid.
