I wouldn't ever use hidecorpse anyway, rich boi like me got tinks to fill with that fine steel you don't loot.

You don't get 200k net worth RMT-free by lvl 56 in 10 days played without playing right.

You missed one: classic UI with single chat box.

Lazy aggro is a huge one, old world aggro mechanics in Kunark / Velious is game breaking - theres a reason it was implemented

Do we have any kind of ETA on a future clean brand new P99 server?

As far as I know, Secrets and Zaela are the only ones not on the dev team to actually submit code to P99.

I haven't? It's hard to submit small changes to a black box. The p99 server code probably resembles the open EQEmu code in a lot of places, but there have also definitely been major changes, plus the EQEmu code itself has continued to change since p99 forked off of it, and who knows whether the p99 devs pull in any upstream changes. Hard to say what any particular bit of the server code might look like. Best that could be done to "submit" something is to say "if you were a stock EQEmu server, what you would need to change is ...", which is basically just giving hints for some other coder to hopefully care enough about to interpret and apply to the actual code. Not a whole lot better than just making a post describing the bug in the first place.

As a developer, every minute you spend explaining why something can or cannot be fixed to people is a minute you could spend doing something a hundred times more important

The act of explaining something is a great way to examine your own assumptions about it, and occasionally realize ways of solving a problem that you hadn't thought of before. Essential impulse for a developer to have! Although at the end of the day, just thinking about how to explain something is as good as actually doing it...

Forum enforcement is pretty much nonexistant too for the last 6-8 months. Very out of character for this place.

It's well past time for a changing of the guard, for the guards' own sanity I think. I'm at the point where EQ has no mystique left and I'm more nostalgic for Luclin personally, and I have probably 10 days played on p99 ever.

Hope they open the database up but there is probably still profit being derived from it, so enjoy the slow decline and look to that other project for the dream.

Profit? Wtf are you talking about...do you seriously think they are making a profit running this?

And I'm sorry that your overstimulated entitled little brain is now feeling many sads about EQ, but don't tell me what I'm supposed to do. Enjoy the slow decline...'that other project'....hmm.

That's an anonymous troll that you're responding to. The moment you hit reply, you lost. He does have a point, though. If there was any reasonable amount of forum policing, accounts like his would never make it to thousands of posts without getting banned for trolling. [You must be logged in to view images.

Daldaeni agree with a lot of your opinions about views and corpses.
Is it even possible to not use the titanium client for an emu server?

A few servers do it. The main example would be the TAK server. I suggest you look into the downloading it and playing around just for a half hour or something, to see just how different the game plays when you don't have all the "quality of life" features that you have on P99.

You will very quickly discover those features aren't just quality of life, they impact gameplay immensely, making certain aspects and tasks far easier/faster. The game is much easier as a result.

That being said, I don't know if it's even remotely feasible for P99 to swap client with all of the modifications they've done to the stock EMU code to get P99 to the point it is today.
