Kunark-Velious UI in action

iirc to med during this time it would switch back over to the classic UI with the spellbook. Perhaps someone who knows for certain will comment.

I remember when that video was made by Kibanu on EQC.......

Wow: I found your posts ignorant and annoying up until this point, but that one was completely rude and uncalled for ... and in an official staff thread no less!

The people behind this server spent ten years doing something really, really hard: a tiny team of volunteer programmers re-created roughly half (the server-side) of a massive game .... a game that was originally built by a professional computer gaming company, with a paid team easily 10x P99's size. They didn't do it for their own benefit (they don't even play here!), but to give everyone else a chance to experience classic EverQuest, a game that couldn't be played anymore until they made it possible.

But nevermind all that ... because they didn't get it 100% finished by year ten (in large part because of technical issues: they didn't re-write the client, so they have to deal with limitations from it), therefore everything they've done up until that point doesn't matter, and they're incompetent?

I know this isn't RnF, but:

TBF this is a joke thread Rogean made to troll the community, and it was extremely successful.

Maybe I could have been more specific with my choice of words; I meant "thread started by an official staff member", not "an official staff news announcement thread".

Maybe it is, Wurl. Maybe its not. Maybe its to get a feel for how this current playerbase would react considering classic changes freak them out so much. It could have been a Troll, Rogean is talking more lately which is a plus.

We already have the ability to disable/enable buttons as needed at character select, so if we do this we will disable Erudite Shadowknights until the appropriate era.

You have broken my heart.

Here is your explanation.

One of these guys, I think it was Loramin, linked to the wiki page that details the shortcomings of the Titanium client. This is the client the dev team had to work with and have been trying to restore the original game for 10 years. Small team doing what they can and something, not even Daybreak, has bothered to do. Sony erased the original information iirc, pretty sure they did, remember reading that somewhere. Or they didn't keep backups for it.

Edit note: One reason to suspect this a troll thread is due to the sept 2019 posters in here reverse trolling. Yes, I responded to him. I am a bit bored today, passes some time. It would be a kick if that guy was really Nilbog.
