Default Suggestion: Post-Classic QoL Features on Blue

Please read, don't flame yet.

<assumption> As most of the hardcore Classic nostalgia population has migrated to Green </assumption> I suggest we take a more "post-Classic" approach to Blue. That doesn't mean we want Luclin or anything, but there's a lot of wonderful and convenient quality of life features the playerbase had throughout the decade of Blue's existence that we realized we could use, even in a pre-Luclin environment.

- DoT damage ticks displayed in the chat box
- Two hotbars
- Shadows
- Advanced Lighting
- Modern water and skybox
- Completing quests that were unfinished in Velious

I absolutely advocate the core content never moves past Velious, but a lot of the things that were removed across Blue's lifetime I wouldn't mind seeing again. We got pet windows back anyway and staff expressed a possible desire to add light Classic custom content, so Blue wouldn't just be a stagnant character graveyard stuck in a Luclin pre-patch limbo forever.

Just to be clear, some things from Luclin I would NEVER want:

- Luclin zones (except Jaggedpine Forest maybe)
- The absolutely hideous new models
- Bazaar in any form
- Beastlords
- AA points (they dilute class experience)

I would love Blue to be more modern and convenient without actually changing its content (or I'd be playing P2002). Blue could become the "lite" Classic experience and hardcore vanilla players looking for nostalgia value and an exact 100% recreation could play on Green.
