this really depends on the situation... i usually play in 1st person, however when im running or moving through dangerous territory i will scroll the mouse wheel out to see if anything is following me...

all you posers using 1st person would never last on a PVP server lol

but seriously how the fuck do you ever do anything well in 1st person? i use 3rd person even in dungeons that a small as fuck and i have always played an iksar so im tall race to begin with.

fuck i even climb ladders in 3rd person, i know how to push my scroll up button...

swimming is a diff story.

Stupid question, but also one of the failings of EQ. That is, the ability to zoom from first person to third and pan/rotate the camera without moving your hand from the mouse. This F9 stuff is garbage, but it's classic so sigh...

90% of the time, first person, for the immersion mainly, but also because it is easier to loot and melee in first person - for me, anyway.

When I do go to third person, it is almost always to get 360 degree view of what is around me. I do this to be aware of potential adds in open zones primarily. However, for some reason, I always go third person while traveling on a boat, until it is time to debark. There is one more case in which I use 3rd person. Occasionally, in a dungeon, if you use the camera right, you can see around a corner.

only 1st person. Can't stand to play any other way (maybe because I played fps games before everquest). I never found that I needed any other view to be aware of my surroundings. -and as an enchanter you need to be very aware.

only times I would use third person would be if I was using bind sight to explore deep, or trying to solo/pacify my way deep into a dungeon full of unmezzabes (ie getting to the mephit tunnel in tower of sol ro).

It's not just me right? Unable to scroll mouse wheel back and pan/rotate the view. I find that a little annoying and the F9 presets are pretty terrible at making up for this.
