That would acually be kinda neat, if there was a permanent blindbook option at start, and you get a special title to denote your character is blindbook tied.

This guy gets it. The point of playing EQ on hard mode isn't to impose arbitrary restrictions on yourself and then try to play the harder game by yourself. If you want to do that, go speed run through Final Fantasy or something.

The point of playing in a classic multi-player world is that everyone is facing the same constraints, and when you overcome them (whether those constraints are night blindness, book blindness, or just the fact that you have to kill a whole hell of a lot more mobs to get a level than you do in WoW), you feel a greater sense of accomplishment.

I'm not in love with the idea of Green being split in to "real classic" players and "wannabe" ones, but at least that's better than telling everyone to turn their monitor down if they want night blindness (or any other "just do it on your own computer if you want it classic" response).
