So... How classic do you want it?

[Fammaden]

Its widely considered the best starting area due to the repeatable quests for xp/money. Gnoll fangs, bandit sashes, rabid animals....I forget what else. I'm not a big fan of that side of the world myself, and I started as an erudite back in the classic days. But on green blackburrow might be cooler with people actually leveling there, other than it being packed full for a while at first.

We're not going to be forcing the black screen on green, so everyone put down the pitchforks.

We will still be requiring the book and meditate button for < 35 though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Found this fitting write up on how classic it can be in a 99 google group, it has been edited for brevity.

Everquest - Early Comments

My background: have tried most CRPGs, a couple
of online RPGs, and a few MUDs (played one for quite some time)

Finally set up my account, got on and started a High Elf Wizard.
Unfortunately, I found myself lost immediately the first day, and no one
seemed to be willing to help, including all the NPCs I hailed.

That's disappointing, that black screen magic would be so immersive when memorizing new spells each spell level and meditating after dangerous fights.

I hope this can be reconsidered. The whining from people not wanting classic UI and mechanics shouldn't win out here.

Are you even gonna be playing on G99 or are you just trying to sabotage the project?
