silly as it seems, I just miss the general feel of the game, the captions, the nicer colors for names, general thing you take for granted. Actually do fine w/o the macros, but the UI things take more getting used to :wink:
What do you mean read the fabulous manual? What do you mean search? Why does everyone always ask me that?

Knowing who on a raid is being a fucktard with Jobober, and almost causing a wipe.

I also miss my custom labels. Under every NPC I have the class and level in parenthesis. Have the same info for players along with their guild name. Also show true names for NPCs instead of displayed name (a_crystaline_golem14).

Miss Target info, class, level, etc for PC's. I cannot keep up with the lame Titles or class titles so a simple Druid, Necromancer, etc is easier.

Captions, twist, moveutils, advbot (for various groupmates that i'd rather botted than real people, ect), wait4rez (man raids suck when you have to loot your whole corpse 10 times :(

Aww... no more hunter.mac, mapfilter plugin, irc plugin, ROGUE HELPER!, food making macro, fishing macro, autoskills plugin, and a bot plugin I was making a ui box for... AWW! I'm gonna miss all those! Is there any chance that MQ2 comes back?

I sure hope it isn't the end of MQ2, I just started to get the hang of it and the fuctions that it provides. I loved it, Looking forward to seeing it Return.

:wink:

the major useful info you get when you right click on an item or spell gem, you know, like what it actually IS/DOES instead of just a brief 'basic' description that it weighs so much and that it can be used in tradeskills.

I don't even know what percentage my beastlord and chanter can slow at. I would always just right click to look up the percentage. That and the effects of many other raid buffs/AE effects from a raid boxx. So yep, for me too that is one of the things i really miss when MQ is broken.
