Yeah but you had the option to disable it for a few weeks.
I was able to play with the old ui for at least 5 more patches and then they forced everyone to use the new UI.

Holy bump of death... well far be it for me to not chime in on this one. I started playing around March/April 2001, right after Velious. I definitely had no new UI - started with the clunky old marble looking one until someone showed me the way, to this UI

- which I used until <whenever> the newer UIs came to being. As you can see by the image number, this is actually the 3rd screenshot I ever took in game. Oh, the old days... never be the same.

Hmm?...I was using S3dspy the other night and it looks like NOTHING was ever deleted in the game!
If you look at bmpwad.s3d and all the other bmpwads you will notice all the bitmaps from the very beginning seem to be there! Even the loadscreens!
And then using eq model viewer it looks like all the old character models are still there too!
So maybe some day just for fun I will try to make a nostolgic looking client..
