Now That The Darkness Is Back...
 

Do you think that the whole "darkness" thing will make people stay away from creating a character amongst the blind trilogy? Or do you think it will pull more people towards it for a "challenge"?

DE-only server. What makes green kinda... blue :D

I see what you did there.

I think both answers are correct. There are groups of people that will lean one direction or another. Some people want to bask in the classicness, the more painful the better. Others want to exploit the easiest and quickest paths to whatever their goal is (domination of some sort usually).

I don't think it changes much, but people will at least create an alt of the sight impaired, either for nostalgia purposes or for the folks who didn't play in-era.

Oh, even on Blue/Red, there have been players that avoid playing Bar/Hum/Eru because of their poor night vision. There will definitely be people who avoid them on Green. I’ll bet even more than on Blue, actually.

I also think items with light sources or vision boosts will be of surprising value on Green. Examples: Glowing Stone Band (odd band name), Pearlescent Mask for monks, of course the T-crown.

Items with Serpent Sight (infravision)
Items with Deadeye (infravision + see invis)
Items with Ultravision
Items with Chill Sight (ultravision)
Items with Truesight (ultravision + see invis)

Anything else?

It will have a negative impact. The racial ability to see will be valued again.

Those races weren't too popular anyways so not going to change toooo much.

And their weaker vision was a factor even with titanium client where it wasn't such a hindrance.

poor erudites blind as hell and in the worst starting zone in MMO history for a new server. Level up in that shit hole to 12 cause you can't count on getting a bind in qeynos. Was even better in original vanilla when the boats could be bugged for hours to days on end, and when it finally arrives, dumping your ass in the water in the next zone.

It really honestly makes you wonder how long it took for that first Erudite to quit? How many just was like "To hell with this, I'm re-rolling"?
