Still no characters when I log in. Also says my spell list is outdated. What gives? Will do #49 again.

*** New Interface Available ***

The new EverQuest user interface is now available for use on Live
servers. Many of you will find that it runs faster than the old
interface. It is extremely customizable, and offers all sorts of
features including resizable windows, fading windows, a pet control
window, and flexibility through the XML files. We decided to offer it
for optional use as a sort of Beta II for folks on the Live servers
that haven't had the chance to try it out on the Test server.


Apparently /tt and /rt and corpse timers need to be disabled too...
------------------------------
January 8, 2002 3:00 am
------------------------------
- Added /ttell. This will send a tell to the player character that is
currently your target. The command will also allow corpses as a valid
target. /ttell'ing a player's corpse will auto-tell that player (this
was actually patched earlier along with an emergency patch)
------------------------------
February 13, 2002 3:00 am
------------------------------
- NPC and PC corpses can now be /considered to find out how long until
they decay, and PC corpses additionally tell you how long you have to
resurrect them
- The timer for corpses is now seven days for any corpse over level
five, whether the player is on-line or off-line or any combination of
the two
------------------------------
March 19, 2002
------------------------------
- Added /rtarget function (can be used as /rt). This function targets
the last character to send you a /tell. It follows all of the rules for
/target

** Food Changes **

- Food items now have a 'duration'. This means that some food items
will not sustain a character as long as others, and some items will
sustain your character longer than they did before.

Food still seems to last around thirty-three minutes no matter what you're eating.

Alt-O is the default keybind to open options

BUT

I rebound alt-O to something else.


Now that the Menu Button is gone, will I ever be able to open my options in-game again? Serious question.

SOLVED

1.Open the file in your main folder called eqclient.ini
2.Find the area containing KEYMAPPING line headers and identify this string:

KEYMAPPING_TOGGLE_OPTIONSWIN_1=268435480

3.Ensure '268435480'' follows the equal sign for 'Alt-O' to work ingame.

I hope this helps any other people who've also re-mapped their options toggle and long since forgot it =)

Good god, some of the suggestions for killing QoL feats I believe can't be serious. If you really want the classic experience to include all the things that made the game miserable, grab an AOL disk and bust out the 56k model with the 900x600 resolution. Code detection for anytime you use your cell phone, it'll d/c you.

Or can emulate the experience by hard-coding 900x600 only, force allow only 5% bandwidth to go through, and periodically have a 20% chance of d/c. And let bards break root with selos.

It was painful watching you get 800x600 wrong so many times in a row.

[Castle2.0]

- Anti-bottom feeding code has been removed from the Stonebrunt
Mountains and the Warrens.

Same patch as TGB (Dec 2001) - haven't seen this commented on in the most recent P99 patch.

Can anyone confirm or deny if this has been implemented?

[Pringles]

Thanks for all the work over the years. Congrats guys

Correct - they're now available on select vendors, I added to patch notes.

Unfortunately the ports are level 255 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Necs have pet heals.
They nerfed the pet window.
Can you explain to me now how we are even supposed to know when our pets will need healed?
How are we supposed to know what target they are on?
How are we supposed to even know if they have any ag?

This change seems dubious at best.
