The game is doing something to your desktop gamma settings. I don't know how.

Pretty sure they are forcing it on the system settings using their nifty DLL they have running to track down multiple IP address infractions, botting, hacking, etc.
Not classic, but for what it was being used for (curbing hacking) and not what it could be used for (gathering system information, keyboard logging, etc), most people weren't complaining.

I'm a bit confused about a lot of the comments where people are questioning why EQ suddenly controls your OS gamma settings - wasn't this always the case? I get that it was likely dependent on your system, but as long as I can remember window mode always made the rest of my desktop washed out.

Never happened to me using WinEQ2 and either ATI or Nvidia cards (I had both at different times) once windowed mode was made available. It's possible WinEQ2 had some sort of fix that it ran to prevent the washed out desktop.
Also, even if what you say happened did - that's the complete opposite of what's happening on P99. I could deal with my desktop being washed out, but P99 is making the desktop gamma lower which makes doing anything else on my computer a huge fucking chore. The worst part is when closing EQ it doesn't restore the gamma correctly.
