While I know classic was known for being dark, I do recall being able to crank my gamma up to see. Tradeoff was that everything was washed out and looked milky, but you could see in the dark. With this change, cranking the gamma brings it up to a "normal" level. I realize it's trying to emulate classic but I think this "fix" is kind of crude and not really representative of how classic gamma actually behaved, at least by my memory.

Exactly. I logged in today, had my entire picture darkened to a sharp degree and noticed my text and my UI was darkened as well. It was a 'WTF?' moment because I had never played EQ with that kind of picture.
Dug out my old dell Optiplex GX620 from storage (Win XP SP3), updated the driver of the GT 620 Nivida card in it to current, and plugged in an old Samtron 96B CRT monitor to get my memory going of playing games a decade ago.
Same effect. UI + Text are incredibly dim, along with the whole picture. If this was an attempt at adjusting racial vision in darkness, some more work needs to be done on it.
I'd like to politely ask that the change be reverted so I can actually see the game without jamming up the gamma to wash it out, UI and text included.
