Yeah, without some form of UI scale option there really isnt much that can be done. Its a shame because this UI does look much nicer on lower resolutions. Scaling it down to 1366x768 does make it look like it did back then, but the game being 1/4 of my screen is a bit of a bummer. It was very interesting to see the differences of how it looked and felt with the different resolutions. I personally like the more compressed borderline cluttered feel , while i know others like the massive open minimal ui.

This what a few resolutions look like on 2560x1440 screen.
Yeah unfortunately we need to support a wide range of resolutions, and by making the low resolutions completely unusable, we eliminate those people from being able to properly play at all. While the people at higher resolutions end up with really small UI elements.

Someone at some point mentioned using WinEQ or something to play at a lower resolution, in a larger window or something. I have personally never used WinEQ, so I can't really comment if this is possible or how to do it.

Also. Those screenshots you posted in Imgur actually showcase a little bit of the 4:3 vs 16:19 debate for EverQuest. I am assuming you didn't move for any of the screenshots, but you can see more of the Priest of Discord in the 4:3 screenshot (800x600).
