I know Secrets was playing with trying to make the Trilogy client work (it's a lot closer to the classic one), but I haven't heard anything in awhile so I'm guessing it didn't work out.

I think the long and the short of it is P99 has some very smart fans (both former and current staff members) who know emulated EQ very well. These people very much want exactly what you're asking for, and if it was at all technically feasible ... well, we'd have it already.

If it's feasible to force velious ui, it's feasible to force classic ui.

The .dll already has the hook, just need a working classic ui, which I believe exists.

All this talk about the classic interface... one thing that most (probably everyone) now playing the game has a widescreen flat panel monitor. Back in '99 we were using square CRT monitors.

The classic interface worked on those smaller square monitors, but may be rough today's tech.

Not saying that's a reason not to have it, but I'm just thankful we have something we can set a better resolution on. lol

That's a perfect reason to not have it.

Yeah basically. I want a modern engine with modern functionality for classic gameplay.

I don't need no map, because we're all using wiki's and nParse anyways.
I don't need no compass, because we all know where to go anyways.
I don't need no buff timers, because every buff duration has painlessly been recorded and built into GINA or nParse triggers anyways.
I don't need no pet bar, because GINA will notify me of pet breaks anyways.

But I need my god damn hotbars so that I can press Shift+2 instead of pressing <ARBITRARY_PAGING_KEY> and then 2 instead.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Ive used a few remade classic UIs that worked pretty well on widescreen. If we were limited to these it wouldnt be that bad. Although If they make only 1 chat window available its going to be rough. Im fine without pet windows but the clunky old UI is a no from me dawg.
