Oh, and get rid of Alt+Tab while we're at it.

This.

It's the essence of the "it's classic" whine. People want to pick and choose what classic "features" are there. And if it were possible to disable task switching, I guarantee the population would go from 1200 to 200 almost immediately. If that.

I really can't imagine a new, and I mean new player to EQ, lasting one f'ing day starting a caster looking at a stupid spell book in this day and age. Ain't happening. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

and?

I guess no one ever used the bind sight spell to keep an eye out while medding?

As it is, there's almost no point to those spells.

[Lisset]

Just like there's almost no point to Identify or Extinguish Fatigue. What's your point?

[fastboy21]

if you've ever done a quest with multiple bits all with the same name in your bank then you'd know why you need identify.

enc and mage get sentinel, necro gets sight graft. the only thing with bind sight is there isnt always a good target.

there are ways around it. time your mana ticks, post tick stand up look around sit down to get a tick or to get up and take a quick look.

VP key quest was my first need for identify, ended up doing star of wheel quest for instant id clicky for my rogue. every spell has a use, though magnify vision is pretty useless maybe if it went farther

This isn't classic, this is stupid. Getting rid of windowed mode would be classic. People were still able to Alt+Tab to a different window, despite many people's shitty PC builds.

Nope. You weren't, I was there.

There was absolutely always even in brand new classic being able to hit Alt+R (at very very very first release) and then later changed to alt+enter to enter windowed mode.
