You know people could barely see at night...

Was semi-hard even as a dark elf with a fire beetle eye as a newbie.

Your human or whatever should be nearly blind without a vision spell.

Hoping whatever change does finally go in ensures that on all makes and models!

It wasn't hard to see the Character select screen. Did we have to become a nightelf just to select what toon we were going to play?

Thanks for another post of this is how it was in classic, but only partially true since I never played classic.

So you just posted a video showing char creation of showing each race's light ambiance changes. Notice how it changes for each race? Good thing I said character select ability on choosing who you want to play. Not the back ground lighting of the toon twisting around.

It's reverted for the time being. There is a big difference between classic seeing, and not being able to even see your UI or toon name you want to enter the world with. This is the difference of what people were saying.

Both char creation and char select looked the exact same on my screen. Why don't you try posting some pictures of it.

What kind of self-respecting EQ classic player uses "night elf" instead of "dark elf"???

I remember dark elves' night vision being like tinted blue; similar to the way the buff Ultravision kind of gave your night vision a blueish tint I guess.


While it is true that it WAS way darker in classic EQ, you could atleast still see your UI boxes/chat lines without having to change your text colors. I literally had to change all of my text to either white or yellow just to be able to read it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also, I noticed that light sources help but UV/Infravision/Serpent sight type buffs do absolutely nothing. That isn't really classic, I remember having to save plat for ages on live to buy that serpent sight ring for my barbarian because it was such a gamechanger. Your vision would have like a reddish hue with serpentsight/infravision instead of the blueish tint that darkelves had/ultravision gave.


Am I making this up in my head in regards to the effect of infravision/ultravision or do others remember it as well?

Nope, you are correct Tass.
