As a barbarian without a light source you literally couldn't see anything when walking through the cave to blackburrow. You pretty much just had to walk in that direction and eventually you found the zone if you didn't get turned around.

thats how i remember it too buddy. these wow nerds dont get it.

Haynar - EQ will now require full screen. Any attempt to alt tab or circumvent will crash client.
Haynar - Classic UI now enabled.
Haynar - Item linking removed.
nilbog - Casters must now view spell book to med until 30.


I can't wait until the day comes when I get to see these patch notes and the subsequent tears. The gamma, while not perfected yet, is a great classic implementation that really reminds you what classic eq was like. Pras.

shit son, I saw that and almost died of classhole-itis.

Very true and the devs said that it was a mistake to do that. They still say that. A couple years ago at SoE live they were talking about it.

Go play wow and then come back and tell me eq is not challenging.

wow raiding is takes alot more skill than eq, what are you talking about. in eq you can bring 400 players to naggy if you want. there is no cap. raid bosses go down in 10 seconds or less most of the time. leveling here is pretty damn easy as this game is 15 years old and everyone knows the places to go. i dont play everquest because of the "challenge", i play it because i love the game world, norrath.

So you do things that take away from the challenge of eq? We did not have 400people on naggy raids in classic. We were lucky to get 50. Go solo a warrior in wow to lvl cap and then come do it here and tell me its not a challenge. Due to the make up of this server some things are not challenging but that does not take away from the challenge that eq provides that other games do not. Arguing that we should go to broken or absurd mechanics out of some devotion though is just absurd.

pretty stand before you cast is absurd? you can already play eq with 10apm. you really are complaining about nothing.

what i dont get is this server doesnt hide that is it trying to emulate classic the best it can. this means if they could force classic UI and spellbook med, they would. YOU KNOW THIS SIGNING UP so to sit here and complain about classic mechanics is just stupid.

The gamma issue is very bad, but it's easy to fix if you use WinEQ, just turn on 'lock gamma' in the options for Everquest.

Thank you I will try it.

That's my point though the change does nothing but add something to bitch about so why do it?
