My thoughts about what the new server should be

Once you eliminate human night blindness and casters staring at spellbooks as they med, all attempts to something in the name of accuracy go out the window.

that's a client issue that they don't have control over. it doesn't take away from their efforts to make everything they can control as it was in classic

Yup OP is trying to use his last brain cell forum questing.

You can't just say "not true" and make it so, friend. The facts won't let you and the facts are that EQ, at the time period we are playing, had night blind humans and low level casters that couldn't 'see' the game they were playing for a good deal of the time. Those things are not here in p99. That is definitely not classic EQ. The argument of "we're going to do/not do this thing because it is/isn't classic" loses a lot of weight when two of the biggest 'features' of classic EQ have already been removed from the game.

Don't mistake me, I don't miss those things, they were bad game design to begin with. That said, it's not debatable that they were part of the original game and you can't dispute that.

With my settings Im completely in the dark at night on my human/erudite characters. I med with the book up.
I like it and dont see the "night blindness" as a bad game design but rather a good one.

Makes itemisation interesting. Fun running around with a torch looking like a real adventurer!

Nobody cares

After some chatting with a couple of people I know what this new server is going to be about but I have been sworn to silence and will actually be killed if I spill the beans.
