I would like to be able to get the name(s) of things that dropped on a mob corpse, or chest, or even the advloot window. For example: I loot an orc corpse or a wooden chest and I get back (on my clipboard perhaps, or in a designated text file) something like the following: a rusty dagger, an...

No. I actually use a square-ish shaped windowed resolution to emulate the games actual design. When you go wide screen you simply end up chopping off a good chunk of your y-axis viewing area and blowing up what you have left over.

I found that from the first month of EQ onward. By the time I was ~15th level I could buy a weapon that a level 25-30 mob dropped from selling whatever I had accumulated while exping. Then when I hit 27 level or so and I saw it drop it was always a drag. Not being a reseller or farmer...

Notekeep which is located at thenotekeep.com. The site is wonky looking, but I've used the app for years and really like it. It keeps all kinds of notes (but it's marketed primarily as a bible note keeping app).

Whenever someone asks what about class X, I ask my self what % of played characters are of class X. In the case of wizards I think the number is low - apparently the consumer has voted against them for the most part.

2 rogues. They each take opposite sides of the mob and one always gets to backstab! Really though, you likely need to pick one class you really like and work around that. If you can't pick one class you 99.9% like, eq probably isn't your game - it will get boring soon.

I suspect people play EQ for the following reasons in various measure: A like for medieval/fantasy genre A sense of accomplishment An ability to subtly or not so subtly showcase this accomplishment to others A sense of teamwork A sense of adventure The last reason is all but gone these days...

Yeah manipulation is no good, glad you figured it out.

Yes plat farmers would kill more, but they would make more in the same proportion, even likely more so than the casual player. If gear repair is cheap, as in say it takes 5% of your loot earnings per hour to fix then it will not prohibit 24/7 farmers. If gear repair is expensive, as in say 75%...

If it were cheap to repair, the 24/7 farmers would continue. If it were expensive, the casual player could not play.

Making everything including Krono and platinum only tradeable once (aside from consumption or vendor) would be interesting.

The game seems so easy these days I don't even keep any extras on my char any more.
