This. I get it, staring at the spell book is classic, but it also blows. The main concern I have with it though is not just how brutally shitty it will be. In truth, I will reach level 35 behind some, but ahead of most, and have to endure this terrible idea for less time than the average player.

Staring at your spell book is hella classic, in fact it might be single most recognizable aspect of classic not currently in game. But what worries me is the effect it will have on the least recognizable, but most important aspect of P99 that is classic.

A constant influx of new players.

Classic Everquest had new players, all the time. Fresh blood replacing those that have taken a break, and keeping alive all of those aspects of the game that veterans blow past without thinking. Somehow, against all odds, P99 has managed to replicate this. Every time I level a new toon I am amazed by how many people I meet that either just found P99, or literally just found Everquest at all.

Staring at your spell book does add balance, and it is classic, but it makes the experience unbelievably boring and tedious. I, and probably you, have the game knowledge necessary to both anticipate the enjoyment to be had once this mechanic disappears, and minimize the time we are subjected to it.

Classic EQ could survive this objectively bad decision because it was the only game in town, a groundbreaking pioneer, and a profoundly new kind of experience. Green will not have that benefit.

Make a low level toon on blue some time and ask yourself if the people you are leveling with would be there if they had to stare at a spellbook for literally 90% of their ingame time. The answer is almost certainly no for most of them. The hard truth is that without this constant influx of new blood, however, P99 would have died long ago.

Making unnecessary, ill conceived, and deeply un-fun barriers to entry for new players is one "Classic" mechanic that P99 cannot afford.

Not Classic.

You should only be able to have 2 bags open simultaneously:

That's cool, gives you stuff to sift through while medding then.

Are you able to open inventory at all in the transparent UI?

I have found no screenshots with an inventory with velious UI up, only the marble classic one
