Remove Item Linking and New Era Meditate - Page 9

One day, this server will be a pristine form of EQ classic, complete with all of the primitive features it launched with.

I wonder how many people are truly interested in playing on a server like that. Perhaps a lot, but I wouldn't be one of them. The old UI would make me want to quit. No, you can't have my stuff.

Personally I liked the classic UI but I played as a wizard and only for a very short time where that UI was the only option, not in a raid setting or even for very long in big groups.

As far as the meditation thing, I really wish that were to be fixed because Meditation was sort of like spell effects... after reaching a certain level you just got that special something as an accomplishment. Level 35 was the tits back in the day.

I too am hopeful this happens. Rogean once stated maps were a client side issue but they were able to resolve that. I forget what Nilborg mentioned was client side, maybe item linking, but hopefully its gone soon as well. At this point I'm a believer that anything is possible.

We may as well bring back the SOE devs, the SOE GMs and guides and support since that is really what classic is about. RIght? Right?

Screw "classic" cumbersome UI features and other crap. If it were possible, I would choose a modern WoWesque-UI to play on P99 every day of the week over even the titanium client. EQ classic was a great game because of its content, gameplay, community and novelty (and now nostalgia). It definitely had nothing to do (for me) with its cumbersome, terrible UI. I play in spite of the UI, it enhances nothing.

I thought you could give items to npcs and they would be lootable in classic. Although I don't really want to see this since its super abusable with charm and say steel hilted flint daggers and a full set of gear

Would love if this was fixed.

Great for charmers -can give weapons, haste items and neg mr items to enhance their pet. (and get it back when they finally kill it)

Great for helping newbies without directly giving. Put that extra bit of armour from Seb on the Orc and next person who kills it gets it. Can even create player run events this way...

That was pretty nice
know what else was nice about it? putting no-drop gear on skeletons to twink out your lowers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
