Classic UI changes would be great for the server. Getting people to get an even more authentic grouping and gameplay experience.

And I will still never want to group and will forever prefer boxing. Grouping is for raids. To me, that is what classic EQ was.

Got to love Cucumber keeping it classic. What do you mean unclassic CoTH chains? You can't /invite people that you don't have targeted here last I checked. Could still Levant/Abscond as leader and invite people.

Aye, I was more eluding to the idea you can use makeleader to make life a bit easier in some situations. Example: group of 5 including a necromancer and a mage in a dungeon, new guy at entrance wants a coth down and necro isn't leader. /makeleader and done.

Classically, everyone disbands and the necro invites and goes to fetch the guy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ahh good call.

Damn we need to keep it classic up in this B.

Also worth noting, in the classic UIs the group leader's name was displayed in yellow text in the group window, and if you were the leader it would display in your character info window. Classic UI did have some great features!

Bump, added pet window to this mix! I forgot that was a Luclin addition!

I'd be happy with a transparent classic UI that can work with HD resolutions.

As far as UI display settings:

You should not be able to adjust spell particle settings beyond on/off.
You should not be able to adjust environment or weapon particles at all.
Shadow option should be forced off.

I agree totally, I dont remember shadows in classic EQ :P

STOP TRYING TO FORCE NEW THINGS ON THE SERVER FOR ME TO LEARN. NERDS.


If they patched any of that stuff in I would prolly die irl. My comp is shit and cant handle all those shiny particles!

[Daldaen]

But forcing these things would make playing so much more classic. People having multi-chat windows and multi-Hotbutton windows gives them an advantage that classic players never had. Which is bad and gives them inflated egos about how much better at EQ they are as compared to themselves 14 years ago.

Classicizes UIs and see how people adapt to true classic play.

So as everyone knows. We should be rolling with classic UIs:

F10 was an amazing aspect to that UI. Why do people forget about the F10?!

[Pudge]

make sure you put in the limit of 1 chat box. should also force ppl to play with 200 ping and 800x600 resolution. cap their fps to 40. and have their mom make them to go to bed at 11:00 on weeknights.

don't forget to remove item linking, mortgage payments, a job, or wife and kids (granted, those last two might already be done)
