It was probably different for everyone depending on your GPU and monitor back then just as it is today. In 1999, I absolutely had EQ looking exactly as it does when I play today, the only difference was that I had to crank gamma up much further than what I crank it up to now.
Literally the only thing a "classic" gamma change on P99 would do to me is degrade my already deteriorating eyesight, because I'd simply crank gamma up a whole bunch more, which would make everything else that I alt-tab to ten times brighter than it already is when I launch EQ.
Again - a pointless, stupid detriment to quality of life that would make me want to stop playing on the server.
