would if could, but pretty sure its tied to the titanium client. same reason we cant force casters to be blinded by their spell book.

Which sparks the question in my mind, why are we tied to the titanium client? Wouldn't using the Velious client fix these issues or is that impossible?

i think we're tied to titanium because eqemu uses it and that's what we use... "using velious client" isn't a thing and doesn't mean anything other than perhaps restarting over from scratch entirely, which no one ever would want.


I'd say that dial-up is already fairly well simulated because p99 servers are a bit laggier than the original sony ones were. although i do zone about 59029801 times faster now.

Wrong. We are using Titanium because the P99 Team chose to base their coding on it cause it was the only one supported officially by EQEmu when they started P99.

Today many EQEMU servers supports much better and more stable Clients as SoF, but that doesn't make the game more classic, but basically yes the item linking is coded into the client and the reason SOE doesn't mess with EQEMU servers is that the client is used unmodified

But apart from all the things in the ui that obviously can't be made 100% classic, we are propably very close to be as classic as possible is.
My only regret is that it has taken this long to get as far as we are now. Some would propably beat me down for this,
but why not start from scratch now that we are actually pretty close to classical functionality as posible can be...

Wipe the servers and lets all start again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You could make it so the item links aren't clickable.

Clients could still right click on the item to link it in a channel, but when you broadcast it out to the other clients you could strip out the item id's and make it not a link.

Really doubt that's worth the effort though.

worth it

[dali_lb]

So after using resources on setting up a server filter that have to monitor all the traffic, someone makes a program that spams link id's ...

they are not gonna do that

Since I cant do anything useful with my lunch break, might as well do this.
