Spell particles are as close to classic as possible after many hours of work. Same thing for the sky. The water and shadows came years after classic so they’re forced off. This project is all about making the experience classic, and that includes client graphics.

First of all, Telin, thanks for all the countless hours you and your humble team pour into the love project that literally is like therapy to us kids that are now adults who get to come home to the world of Norath we all know and love. You guys don't get enough appreciation and I looked at your other posts and you're clearly focused on make updates, staying on track, and updating the community with changes and updates. Some elven wine is due!

I believe this community is very excited about the green project and the numbers speak for themselves. I've relived and created some amazing memories since rolling my character on Green. I enjoy the attention to detail and personally enjoy the original sky and the water that you guys have worked on. Hell, you even nailed the OoT boat ride even though the route had to be slightly adjusted and levitation had to be implemented.

Since many of the players currently here (id say about 70%) are knowledgeable at least in some form of file alteration or basic drag and drop file management, our point is simply it would be nice to manually, behind the scenes, make minor adjustments to things like water or sky. Simply for the immersion and enjoyment that you have already created but applified to our personal tastes. No one is asking for overhauls or Luclin skins or anything to crazy. It's just for those times you want to soak in the sunset while listening to some LOTR music or Enya (don't judge me) and chatting with you're guildies about your train that delvled you.

Afterall, my classic experience didn't involve a 24" monitor with 1080p resolution and flawless 60 FPS. I'm not asking for any in game modification, and UI changes, or any upgrades. All I ask is for the freedom to make 1 or 2 backdoor changes that only people who know what they're doing will even want to chase after.

The current state of Green/Teal is phenomenal and I would never want to take away from all your hard work. I hope that's it's clear how grateful we are that you all have devoted so much love to this project and if I'm wrong in my thinking, I completed understand.

Thank you again and may Tunare bless you!! lol
