Saw this, so I figured I'd bring it up here. Looking at the forums,
there's quite a bit of masochism going on, but I figure there are some
here who'd like to see this happen.

They're working on an emulated EQ server that will be "EQ Classic",
just original, Kunark and Velious. None of the new stuff. No hot
zones, no kitties. The return on hell levels and staring at the
spellbook (/cry).

Interesting concept. It's also interesting to see how strongly
nostalgic some folks are. Obviously, it's my own assumption, but the
phrase "You can't go home again" keeps popping in my head.

"We also realize that in keeping a game fresh and exciting, further
development and progression in the game is a must."

And even when you get home, it won't stay like that for ever.

Boats that are broken? Old UI that can't be rearrainged or customized

I'll keep an eye on that one

This sort of thing isnt new.
Back in '04 we had an influx of koreans to our server because Sony had shut
down their private server.

I started my enchanter just after they got rid of the spell book. This is
going to be a very painful clas to play without being able to see whats
happening.
While I'm rather ond of the old eq, I'd be hapier without the spellbook.

Good luck to them, but given sony's track record of closing down private
servers, they are gonna need it.

that's why we get sentinel...(/cry indeed)

i seem to remember them getting rid of the spellbook as a patch, not
as part of an expansion - could be wrong ... it feels related to the
fact that the velious interface (which was awesome!) was hindered by
the spellbook view forcing your resolution to change, something like
that... it's kind of fuzzy in the ol' memory
