Were they using black bar borders on the sides to get the 4:3 aspect ratio

EQClassic used the 2001 Trilogy client and Velious UI, which rather unexpectedly was found to be compatible with modern widescreen resolutions. If the user switches to the original UI (with its fixed resolution) you get the sidebar letterboxing as with most other old programs. That project can use those UIs while P99 does not because P99 uses the Titanium client--which does not have the original UI built in. Relics of the Titanium client are also why things like the stamina bar cannot be made to work right. If it sounds like EQClassic's "better" to you, weigh the above against the fact that P99's been available and playable for the past decade whilst EQClassic--which actually pre-dated P99--has still released nothing publicly. Sometimes perfectionism becomes its own worst enemy.
