Props to my boy Winston Churchill

Once upon a time...
I logged in to Project 1999, cast Ultravision on myself to see in the Karana night time, turned in a full circle and POP! everyone's favourite pegasus spawned 50 feet in front of me.

First, I checked to see if Asgard peeps were working the spawn. I wanted to let them have him as we had a lil bit of friction last night re: camping vs fte on Quillmane. They had one person on each of the three spawn points, but no one clearing placeholders. I went to clear placeholders and found Quillmane just cruising on by. I killed the Quillmane I had found and they expressed unhappiness with my "KS" when I knew very well they were camping it. I spent the next two hours doing all I could to keep PHs down in hopes of helping spawn more Quillmane. I hope they got at least one cloak, but they weren't speaking to me by then.

I logged in to Project 1999, cast Ultravision on myself to see in the Karana night time

How I wish we didnt just have to turn the brightness up on the titanium client. Not seeing in the dark was one of the biggest reasons I enjoyed EQ back in the day.

^^

We had a wizard/mage belt rotting off Ixiblat the other night. It was just going to get left, so I put out a PSA to a wizard that there was 20 minutes left on the corpse, he just had to get there etc.

Same deal, he looted and it turned out he'd lost a roll on it 3-4 times before :p

Let nothing go to waste ;)

Good post, OP :D

You could always adjust your gamma. Game settings can't override hardware settings.

The difference between then and now is the Titanium client automatically adds an effect similar to ultravision in outdoor zones at night, complete with the slightly blue-ish tint. This is most noticeable if you log on at night because it'll often take a few game ticks for the effect to switch on, prior to which things will be distinctly dark. This effect does not function in dark indoor dungeons such as Befallen; as such those places remain properly dark without a light source.

Good thing it went to an unguilded TMO alt.

Is it really so fucking benevolent to let people collect... rots? Talk about an ego.

"Let nothing go to waste" should be SOP. Not something to flaunt.

Well, you could go the TMO route and let it rot if nobody wants to pay for it.
