How does it work to release mouse control to windows? or does it do that automatically now in the SOE version when you alt-tab....

Alt-Enter releases the mouse.


It's buggy as hell right now. For the moment, you can't run more than one account fromt he same IP. Considering how many people play from behind a router, I have to think that will change before it hits the live servers.

Alt-Tab in EQW is easier to use than Alt-Enter anyhow.

Mouse in the right hand, left hand on A W D...it's an easy rollover to the Alt-Tab.

Kinda off-topic, but at first I thought that "Unbelievable" was referring to that Kergin guy having the same avatar as kyoukan.

But maybe that's a popular avatar :)

Same IP or same file set?

The 3 PC's i play on are all behind a NAT device so they already should show as the same IP address.

Yeah, got two going at the same time.


ANyway, conflicting reports now, some are able to get two sessions going using the same IP, some are not.

EQW is history once this goes live, however. Devs claim it won't work at all with the new windowed EQ.

Hmm. Could this be Sony's way of giving the EQW maker a big Fuck You for that rant he went on a few weeks ago?

As long as I can run in a window I don't care who get's the "Fuck You!". As it is now I can 't use EQW since I lag out and go LD about 2 minutes into the session.

hmmm, I don't have a lag issue with EQW but even with a ATI9700 and speedy computer, the other apps lag on my second monitor. If I cut the textures back to medium and only use the new models that actually look good (like 4 of them) then I can run EQW in 1280X1024 and other apps on the second screen fairly well.

I've a fairly fast computer and decent video, I'm wondering if two sessions will run decent together on it or not.

<num lock><num lock> to switch computers isn't all that bad, <alt-tab> would be nicer though :)

Do i look like a fucking Sony Developer? here's the entire post on the developers corner..

Old UI, We Hardly Knew Ye
After much faithful service, it's time for us to bid a fond farewell to EverQuest's Classic and Velious user interfaces. In yesterday's Test Server patch, the old interfaces were disabled.

While adding many features to the new interface over the past six months, including the built-in MP3 player, item links, compass, and enhanced /bug reporting tool, we've done the best that we could to keep all three interfaces, at the very least, usable.

However, some of the features that we've been quietly working on over the past weeks have unfortunately forced our hand.

We don't want to spoil all of the upcoming changes at once, however, in yesterday's Test Server update, we released the first run of the new EverQuest windowed mode that's been in the works for quite some time now. (In a game that was originally written for a much earlier version of DirectX, it's a lot more work than many would think.) Soon, it will behave in a manner similar to other applications that support both full-screen and windowed mode and can be toggled back and forth. As a part of this change, the account bans related to the use of third-party EverQuest windowing applications have already been reversed.

In addition, the long-rumored "Bard Box" has also been revealed on the Test Server. For those who are not aware, we've been wanting to add a second Effects window that would hold selected short-duration beneficial effects, most notably many bard songs. Initially, for tuning, the new effects area will allow six additional songs to be placed upon your character.

These updates will remain on the Test Server only until after the new year, as we expect that much additional testing will be required.

We hope you'll be as pleased with these latest changes as we are, and we look forward to bringing you many new features in the coming months.

- The EverQuest Development Team

Hopefully one of the things they didn't want to spoil is a revamp of the guild system. It would be really nice to be able to remove people when they're offline.

My guess is they'll place spells like torpor in this box as well eventually...or should.
