Patch Notes: Tuesday September 18th, 2012

[Raynz]

Well I can tell you my launcher isn't working either. Tried manually updating patch files and I can get to server select, but will not actually let me log into server. Gives me unknown error which I'm pretty sure is due to files being out of date with server because of patch.

It keeps telling me that the it can't connect to EQemulator.com I'm assuming there is some Server issue.

[Bartleby191]

Just let me log on, you should check it out.

spells file list is outdated still

[rcw1990]

Fungi's regen effect defnitely isn't working. Not sure why everyone is so anal about things as simple as item descriptions, as my grandpa always said don't fix it if it ain't broken.

[RaiyneReborn]

All i'm saying if your gonna go Full Classic then go Fully Classic. Don't pick and choose what you want to be classic and take away stuff that is already in game that wasnt classic after its been there for 2 years.

[deneauth]

Disc window never existed in classic either, I remember having to type out my own macros for that and add them to the hotkey bar.

[greppy]

I know that I am a newer player to this server, so if I decide to leave it's not going to feel like I wasted HUGE amounts of time. I have had fun over the last couple of weeks playing here, the nostalgia has been awesome.

However, removing the Compass and Pet UI are a bit of a downer. I understand the desire to be as close to classic as possible, but there are reasons that these things were added into the game. A blind goal of trying to make this server JUST like Kunark and then Velious is going in the wrong direction, in my opinion.

For now, I have moved "Sense Heading" to slot one of Hotbar 4, and bound "E" to it.

I haven't logged in my necro to mess with pet commands yet... I'll probably do something similar for those.

Any word on the regen items being fixed sir!

This is being looked into.

Screw classic. It is vastly underrated.

I'm going to do some research on this and bug report because I vaguely remember this working in kunark. I think there was even a patch that read "/pet report will now return a list of the current buffs on your pet"

There was no way to determine what buffs were on your pet. /pet report would return only a % of pet's hp. This was changed in Luclin or later.

I said this long ago, but I will reiterate the following:

I hope it is known that the server will become more classic as time progresses. As live servers would patch in new content or features, we patch out newer content or features.

We will restore prekunark, Kunark, and Velious to the best of our abilities. We will put polish on them, and they are free for you to roam. Some content and features may be patched out before others, but do not be of the mindset that present non-classic elements are here to stay. It is only a matter of if they can be fixed, how they can be fixed, and when we can fix them. If there was a switch to immediately and completely revert this to classic, I'd flip it. Until there is, we will occasionally ask you for your feedback.

Some helpful shorthand pet hotkey making:
/ho attack /pet attack --- will create a hotkey for /pet attack
/ho health /pet report health --- creates a hotkey for pet's health
/ho backoff /pet back off --- creates a hotkey for pet back off.

etc

Last but certainly not least:

there is an actual compass that can be purchased from the gypsy camps.

Shot in the dark here guys, but some of you do know that EQLive still exists and will hold your hand and bleach your butthole if that's what you're looking for?
