Having to play in first person mode made the game much harder and immersive, the only 3rd person views were wacky camera angles.

EQ's 1st person view was even wackier, imo. No one's view is that restricted! That's why, as soon as I could, I went 3rd person. I've never had a problem with immersion. But hey, I'm old school-- I got plenty immersed with Pac-Man, Frogger, etc.

P99 will never be classic eq without a character mirror. oh how i miss classic.

There is no way that every single thing that made classic EQ what it was is a direct result of design and planning. There were tons of instances where things were not though of by the developers/designers at the time and were later fixed or removed completely.

That said, whether or not changing them for this server or keeping them classic despite their consequences in the modern era is an entirely different debate and one that devs/staff seem to mostly handle on a per issue basis.

Personally, if it were technically feasible I would love to have everything 100% classic, but know that will never be the case.

Wait wait wait... Item linking is a time sink that affected classic progression?!?!? Is that really what I'm reading here?

I'm all for the purist classic EQ... But don't be so stupid to think that the to sit takes to type out stats somehow affected my leveling in 1999.

I mean, it's not much, but you did just admit that it does take time. So it obviously affects something.

People be going crazy. Even if they implemented the classic UI its likely over 50% of players would just press F10 and switch out.

Nobody wants hardcore "classic" really. It might be fun to try for an hour, but people are lazy. Laziness = 80k cleric MQs, and MQ sales are rife. Keep the status quo.

No way, I want hardcore classic, and I'm sure there are others. One of the things I think would be great is if the devs eventually found ways to FORCE things like this so that people who want to be lazy have to go do it elsewhere. Classic or bust bros. Break out them spellbooks, it's time to meditate.

You'll be pleased to note you can still open your spellbook while meditating. I assume you'll always do this from now on.
