I'm just saying your reasoning for liking 1 zone and not the other, makes no sense. It's purely a lack of willingless to learn... 1 zone. It's not like some giant race where you have to run far to everything. Literally 1 minute to get anywhere in the zone lol. There is no... oh shit I gotta go 2 zones over for this vendor purchased item. How bad can a zone be when everything is right next to everything else?

I had a low spec machine at the time, and they had uncapped deltatimes on the turning math. What would happen is something new would come into view and the game would stall while loading it into vram, and if you were turning at the time, it would spin you as if you turned the whole time it was stalled.
End result you'd be facing a random direction just like the spinner traps in old bard's tale. I had to follow a friend to get out.

I played a shitter Druid back in the day. I remember my first TLP back after a long self imposed exile from eq- rage fire.
Was super fun and nostalgic. Built my shitter Druid up to 50 and then got a group of brave adventurers to go kill phinny. We socked phinny for hours and then when we spawned, an army of box mages materialized and ganked it in front of us. That was my first reintroduction to modern eq.
the rest is history

The only classic ogre warrior I remember on Tunare was Thogg. And if you ARE Thogg, then let me send my belated condolences. You were robbed in warrior BotB.

I will say that. In classic and Kunark back in 99-00, I rarely ever saw Ogre Warriors. Night and day difference now. ~150hp more than your smallest variety Warrior and frontal stun has a large calling card for some people over the the perks of being small and good alignment.

Yeah hit that up already thanks. I’ll just stick to windowed. I just hate how dark it is and turning the gamma up in game makes the desktop bright af.IIRC you're pretty technically sufficient so I'm not trying to come accross as the "Durr did you try turning it off" type of person, but one of the first things I'd check are whether or not the game folders are whitelisted with your antivirus and network security. Next I'd check the DX9 version that EQ uses. Then I'd check the eqclient.ini settings, like CPUAffinity (set to -1 for each), etc.
Here's a link that may be helpful from within the past year:
Anyway to make EQ stop crashing in Full Screen? :: EverQuest Free-to-Play General Discussions
Anyone know of any way to stop EQ from crashing every time something on the computer makes the game flip to desktop. If any notation pops in windows 10, then EQ crashes. Anyone know of this bug, and would like to share how you stop going out of Fullscreen mode. Thanks Edit: Thanks AcidT for the...steamcommunity.com

The alignment thing barely matters by Kunark and gets easier each expansion thereafter. By PoP, it doesn't matter at all. If a class can be an Ogre, there really isn't a reason not to be one from a min/max perspective. The only reason to be anything else is purely aesthetic. There might be some argument to be made for Iksar with Warriors and SKs, because of the AC/Regen and frontal immunity AAs later, but AC/Regen also have caps. So, frontal immunity stays relevant longer IMO, even for tank classes.

Every city in EQ classic is a complete mess. When you got the point where you could beeline right toward whatever you want it was a good feeling.

There's a bunch of lighting settings and windowed gamma and shit. Turn off advanced lighting and turn on gamma for windowed (I think) and it cancels out and looks pretty good iirc. Something like that.

Even in classic it is not that important because many of the quality of life changes benefit the evil characters so much more. Shared bank and easy faction quests due to being able to hand in stacks of 1k sure takes the sting out of fixing many of those factions.

. I went to Marus Seru in Luclin leveling when I played Aradune for a few weeks before Mischief and had all that shit on. Could barely see what the fk was going on. When I went to POK, any time I went up and down the towers the same thing would happen. Someone finally told me the same thing Xevy just said and when I turned off Dynamic Lightning etc. - The game was a 1000x's more enjoyable to look at in Windowed Mode.- 2

hah! Thogg is an old RL and gaming buddy of mine, going back years before EQ when I think we met while playing Warcraft 2 Battle.net clan matches.
we came into beta together with our gaming clan, Dark Covenant, and were guilded together for beta and Classic, maybe a bit of Kunark too, but he moved on to DAOC.
DC ended up being more of a family guild, and I went on to raid with Crimson Twilight and Cats in Hats on Drinal.
he was a troll tho, eventually if not always
good ol Thogg D'Logg.

I realize it’s a bit of an exaggeration but I like the thought that you’ve followed this game for decades after only playing a class that had one button the entire time.

heh, you're not wrong. EQ was an amazing gaming and online social experience at a pivotal time in my life. Lots of great memories, and I still love PC gaming and miss my MMO poopsock days fondly. classic and the first few live expansions of the game are a blink in these TLPs, but they felt like a lifetime!
it's still real to me, man!

I really like that despite needing to likely use a dial-up 56k modem to login into the game, you didn't realize it was online or what that meant.
My friend and I were the only people we knew in my town playing it. We were super nerds though and spent our time before this learning HTML by looking at site info and reverse engineering it into shit. Because it was cool. I learned a lot of scripting that I used in IRC to troll channels from another friend's older brother. During HS and the prevalence of half-life at the time, we half-finished a counterstrike kinda mod (we borrowed a ton of shit from CS, as much as we could figure out) and made a ton of maps for multiplayer in general. Alas our ability to self-learn and steal the right software to build stuff was limited. And we eventually lost interest lol.

You have to delete 2 files 'UI_yourname_servername.ini' and 'yourname_servername.ini'. They are corrupt.

Yeah, I never had any of those problems, but my buddy had to point his cleric box at the floor.

They were not designed to have everything in one place. Druid spells are a perfect example. Having to zone a bazillion times to do a tradeskill IS classic.
