I would also like to add these videos approximate what I see in game. Rupert is using an ATI card and I am using an Nvidia. I know everyone has said your personal settings effect what you see in SS/Videos but to me it looks like what I am seeing in game.

Yeah, i think i will not be able to play anymore if this continue like this, hurts my eyes to Much and i still cant see anything, i just see the name of the ppl.

Completely unplayable with 100% gamma and Tranix Crown.

It happens as soon as you hit play from server select, even char select is super dark. Before this when I would hit play it would get brighter.

These look a little brighter than in game but hopefully you can get the jist of it. You can see the UI is way too dark as well.

Screenshots dont show Gamma, because its entirely based on the gamma of the person viewing the screenshot, which makes them look perfectly fine. Have to bust out your cell phone.

Just imagine everything in that first picture is 100% black except the geonid in the background. Cannot see floor or walls at all, or differentiate between them.

The real question is why is EQ effecting all of the windows OS now. It's almost like theres a screen capture overlay running and the gamma is being controlled there.
Like how you can set the gamma in different video recording programs and it effects every program.
I dunno but im going to start going through these patches and if I find screen capture, mouse trackers and or key loggers im gonna be pretty pissed.
For you guys to come out and just say "ya this was intentional for classic immersion" seems odd because everyone knows it wasn't classic.
