I implore the p99 staff to allow Cycle Through Nearest NPC on BLUE

I'll begin by saying I understand it's not in the classic timeline and I will most certainly get flak by the shit's classic community here. But I beseech the staff to please allow the hotkey Cycle Through Nearest NPC on the BLUE/RED servers. On green I understand it will be and needs to be disabled.

There are other non classic elements on blue and red. The latest of these is the Pet Window which after much player backlash was decided to be allowed on blue/red. I understand that this decision was based on how era close it was implemented. But that never changed the fact that it wasn't classic.

I feel Cycle Through Nearest NPC on BLUE/RED falls in a very similar category. The Pet window functions can be done through other means. Mostly many hotkey macros for each command. Similarly the target hotkey can done through many hotkey macros however in a way that is similarly detrimental to the player.

I sincerely hope the staff can see a way to allow this hotkey on blue/red. Thank you for your time and everything you do to make project 1999 great.

This is not a rants and flames thread.

Mouse click targeting is so bad in this game. Forcing someone to use a poorly designed feature for the sake of classic is silly.

Not as silly as a bunch of players complaining about a feature that is not classic on a server that's main focus and goal has been to bring the game as close to classic as possible.

Previous pet window reversal was stated that it was allowed to stay on blue since it was same patch as custom UI and very close to velious, but hot bars were disabled due to being too far out of classic timeline.

Following this logic, I wouldn't hold your breath for it to stay on blue, too far out of timeline.

Sure took long enough to implement. To me, that time passed was enough for me to believe staff wasn't as concerned about some of the smaller details. Time has proven me wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion. I personally don't want to see people leave the server.

I don't believe anyone wants that, I know I don't. But if you're not happy with the server's intention that they made clear a decade ago, then it may be for the best.

If the only way they’ll play is if classic changes are rolled back: I do.

Agreed. These changes are new. We'll see how they settle in.
