/outputfile: Check what's in your bank when you're not near a city

I don't see why this is a problem? There is a lot of times when I don't remember what some of my characters are holding or have in the bank. This way I can just open a text file and see who has what and makes my game-life easier then logging in each character one at a time to find a certain weapon or item...

Same reason you can't have spell timers... They weren't there in 1999 - 2001. Want to know what MMORPGs were like originally before they were filled with modern day conveniences? Welcome to P99.

You are at the mercy of the nilbog.

So having a text file of your characters equipment in their inventory and bank is not classic? I better call Bill Gates and tell him to remove Notepad from Windows so we can't make text files anymore... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I still don't see how this has any effect on the game itself?

To answer your question it is most definitely NOT classic to have that ability at the tip of your fingers. You know full well this has nothing to do with programs outside EQ, but gameplay and convenience features.

/outputfile inventory saves you time of course, but so do a bunch of other non-combat related mechanics. Where do you stop? I mentioned buff timers, that is convenience and helps you manage spell castng better. /autoinventory helps you forage easier and complete quests like bone chips in very rapid succession. Pet window gives you more buttons available for spell casting and pet commands.

Oh, and in classic you couldn't have more than 2 bags open at once. Imagine searching through your bags / bank / alt for an item that way. Bye bye guild Sky bank alt with a ton of items.

Best to keep it classic if you want to experience this game like it was in all its glory. I like these little nuances, it's nostalgic.

Classic sucks.

If you're gonna get rid out spellsets then this has to go too.

I don't even know what those are (probably because not classic)

You don't know what they are because they are a feature in a video game you don't play.

No, i just prefer to hit auto attack and flying kick. Takes much concentration to keep it off refresh constantly. Caster classes are far above me.

Even if it had been in the classic game it wouldn't have mattered. You couldn't alt-tab to check the file anyway. I'd love to hear about someone not alt-tabbing because it's not classic. I'd bet even ALS folk aren't above alt-tabbing to check the wiki or watch netflix while sitting at a boring camp.
