Forcing a client-side change like this is unethical, even if these are the classic sounds. It would be like forcing people who prefer Luclin graphics to use Classic graphics, because "(bull)shit's classic." Fuck that, let people make their own decisions about their client when it doesn't affect game mechanics.

Even google search tends to agree:

Mute the shit, or better yet, quit. So many tears every time there is a patch. Get a life.

"Relive the classic Everquest MMORPG Gaming Experience as it was in 1999 and onward. Project 1999 is a free to play Emulated Everquest Server giving Players the opportunity to experience Classic EQ Once again, currently in the Kunark expansion and a max level of 60, with the look and feel of the old interface and several modifications making game mechanics similar to how the game used to be."

Front page, just sayin.

Figured out how to remove this bullshit forced spell particle "update" if anyone's interested:

Copy the original Spellsnew.eff, Spellsnew.edd, and Actoremittersnew.edd from your original install (main Everquest directory) and overwrite the new versions of those files from the recent "patch" (if you want to call it that). If you do not have backups of those files, you may need to make an isolated install on a separate drive so you can manually copy just those files over to your Everquest directory.

Sounds and particles the way they were.

These are all classic changes as far as I can tell.

As far as the effects and sounds being mandatory/forced upon you.. you're saying they are CRCed? I don't think so.

In the future, when creating a bug report, or replying to one, leave that bad attitude at the doorway.

From someone who played in 1999 the same class I'm playing now, some of the sounds are straight up wrong.

Either the spell database Telin is using is wrong or he skipped a row when importing stuff.

Cannibalize did not have the same spell sound as Cancel Magic in 1999-2001, for example.

You'll hear Cannibalize @ 2:50. The beginning sound was different, and what was being played at the beginning here was the ending sound in classic. There wasn't a bursting sound effect at the end. This video is from the Trilogy Client.

Not entirely related to OP and I'm not sure if it's just on my end but whenever fire elemental pets cast their dmg spell I'm seeing the violet undead dd spell effect.
