I can't wait until the day comes when I get to see these patch notes and the subsequent tears. The gamma, while not perfected yet, is a great classic implementation that really reminds you what classic eq was like. Pras.

Sir, you are a moron. This current gamma is nothing even remotely like classic eq and the devs have realized this. Gamma in eq worked based on the race's vision bonuses or lack of them. It was character specific. If you had a spell that improved vision or an item that produced it's own light source in varying degrees this offset it.
This is completely different. The gamma is being set on the client itself completely ignoring race, items, illumination sources and whatnot. It is dimming the entire screen and everything on it to include inventory, icons, menus, chat.
I'm all for classic race bonuses/restrictions as that is what made the choices actually mean something, but this is a bug, an error, an attempt to simulate the lighting that didn't work out. The devs have posted they've realized it and are working on a fix.
