Progression, or Original EQ servers?

[Angelox]

Current EQ client has things like ships broken, and The GUI will always have the AA's and all the other windows. extra things that were added will always be there and an eyesore even if disabled.
The Ideal way to go would be to use an older client, like the original pre-Kunark client. but this can't be done because very few players have one. The client we have can't be altered as it belongs to SOE.
A lot of quests and things that exist now - didn't exist in the original Everquest. The original Evequest was *much*, much harder than what we have now. not to mention, there is little or no interest in this "old style" game. I started on something like a classic server and,in reality, no one was interested. A few people played, but quit. They told me because the game was "too hard". I was constantly asked for things like the #zone command, got many "exp was too slow" complaints (should be at least 3x), items don't drop enough and so forth. Now this is not because there is no one to play this type of game, but because we have cultured a different kind of player in EqEmu. It doesn't make sense to go play on a server where you have to play like it's supposed to be played, when all the other servers play under anarchistic policies, which include privileges that are unheard of in a true game of Everquest. I'm not against this, upset over it, and don't want to start a fight either . In fact I too enjoy running around #zoning everywhere, #summoning anything I want, and #killing for sport.
But, you can't expect to get far with a server of this sort (classic server), when you're up against what we have now.
I still look foward to Windcatcher finishing up his client one day, which would give us all a client we can play around with and customize to fit our needs.
