Kill the night-vision!

This is my personal dream "classicification"

I miss the compass, but any sacrifice is worth having night-blindness back.

just wanted to chime in and say that the recent changes have no impact on the "Freeport vision" being used on red. Since they are only monitoring changes on globalload.txt whereas my "Freeport vision" changes are in global_chr.s3d . so no, this change had nothing to do with red.

Isnt that admitting to changing the game client?

Lol swish. I love your gifs.

Good decision by the staff, screenshots showing luclin models poorly reflected the server, the luclin models look like trash.

I would love to have classic everquest made By everquest next engine

Look... I play P99 for two reasons.

1). It's free unless I choose to donate to help support it's *NOT FOR PROFIT* status.
2). I actually missed playing the old school way. Corpse runs, spell book in your face, no in game maps, limited or (better yet) no UI mods, etc.

I didn't fall in love with WOW... I fell in love with EverCrack! Sure... I do like some of the "features" that the Luclin (and later) expansion brought, but they fundamentally changed the game. If I wanted to play with those "features" enabled, I'd play on one of the live servers... or one of the other EMUs. But I don't want everything handed to me on a silver platter... I don't want to be standing in the POK getting my 6 box uber buffed, then go out to kill raid mobs. I say make P99 as close to 100% content original as you can and keep boxers off the server... and fuck anyone who whines about it. They can go play WOW.

I think players like myself who would have greatly enjoyed a graphic upgrade that doesn't effect the play experience of others, should be able to speak our mind and let the devs know our feelings, without having to face such sharp hostility. There's no reason for it and makes the community feel unwelcoming and hostile. Is that what we want? Shouldn't we be able to say what we like and dislike about the project so far? Sure the devs can make the game any way they want but what joy is there to be had in making a community project where opinions are attacked and membership suffers?

I for one enjoy the luclin models. Never had an issue with using them in classic EQ, pulls it together for me so i can immerse myself better.

I've never heard of the bug/exploit with the troll/ogre models. but i always play DE anyway. I just enjoy being able to make my character look a little more unique, instead of just the 6-9 face options available on the classic bodies.

I have no problem playing while forced into the classic models, however my GF of 3 years, and best friend of 16 wouldn't play unless i modded their character models to Luclin. I can imagine it'll be a chore to get them to play with me still with the forced classic models.

At least i still have my hi-res world textures [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm going to have the same issues with my SO who wanted to play with me so she can recapture the "look" of her old druid that she was so proud of.

But thanks for the mention of the high-res textures, I did a search and installed them with advanced lighting and at least that looks a little better, which now knowing the context, isn't that weird? I mean it's not "classic" if you can still replace the textures with the luclin era supported high res textures huh. I feel this issue isn't so much about preservation of the classic play experience as it is nobody wants to try to fix the issue of inaccessible areas being accessed with new character models. I have no idea how much work it would be or how much it really effects the game but I'm really disappointed that we can't allow the game to look the way we want on our own screens.
