It wasn't totally clear in the video, but in addition to the screen-consuming spellbook, can you enforce players of level <35 to have to have the spellbook open in order to meditate?

Last I talked to Rogean that was the plan, until the patch that removed that functionality.

35 will actually feel like a huge reward and that will make it all worth it.

This is the one classic feature that I truly dreaded, far more than any other.

Oh my! Yessss!!

The problem with this is it isn't something that will just go away. If memory serves the spellbook to level 35 thing was in EQ until just before the release of Luclin. If this is implemented, it will be the case for then entire life of the server. Every mana based character, forever will have to do this.

I get that it's classic, but it's boring, and shitty, and an irritating roadblock to the enjoyment of the game. It's also purposeless, there is no benefit, no added enjoyment, and no good reason why it was ever included in the first place.

You might think it's cool, for the novelty, but two and a half years from now when you are still staring at your spellbook on your new cleric alt, a class which does nothing but med, at all times, you are going to be pretty damn tired of it.

If the devs decide to put this in, there is nothing we can do about it, but for the love of god dont encourage this. I go camping to get the feeling of roughing it back in the old days, but I don't give myself dysentery just for added realism.

There gets a point where you are just making things shitty.

I don't want to have to stare at a book just to regen mana. I already have to sit down forever to regen, why are you making me not want to play at all? I was so pumped and every new thing that gets added just makes me not want to play.

Every fanboy that's going OMG YES to this change is going to fucking hate it after the first day.

is that a social macro with /viewport and /book?
