Snow-type zones appear slightly over-done. Here's a picture on a Barbarian, no vision buffs, but with a Greater Lightstone in inventory, in the open in Great Divide (I'm using this on 'Blue' since it's apporpriate for the era, and it'll need to work for all 'green' zones anyway). Other similar snow-type zones often look similar to this, including Everfrost.

I love the darkness, but I don't believe the Freeport sewers were supposed to be THAT dark at night time! I remember running thru these things constantly with my SK back in 1999 and it was hard to see, but presently, it is literally impossible to navigate the sewers at night as a human.

If you guys can find classic screenshots of those areas that demonstrate what it should look like, it would be very helpful. We have limited information to go off of when trying to reconstruct the lighting, aside from our own imperfect memories. We have a bunch of screenshots of outdoor and indoor zones and many of them are absolutely oh-my-god-I'm-blind levels of pitch black, so we started from that as a baseline.

We are definitely willing to make adjustments to zones if the current darkness levels aren't classic, but for the most part they seem to be pretty accurate.

Personally, I remember Everfrost on a new barbarian being effectively impossible to navigate in the dark.

Unfortunately I will not have any screenshots from back then. I lost all of them on a rig that died on me. Anyway, I keep wishing it would stop raining in East Freeport so I can see if the reason that I can navigate the sewers there is due to the rain, or because there is something different than the West Freeport sewers, but there is a 100% difference.

When I cast Deadeye in the East Freeport Sewers, it changes how I see things. In West Freeport, however, no change when I cast it.

BlankDiploma,

Please see videos below. These are recorded today from an EQ Trilogy client.

Let me know if these help you in any way, or if you need me to record/screenshot something else.

The quality won't get any better than what you see.

I can't give out access but I can provide mostly anything they need.

Quality is unimportant, it's plain to see that Everfrost has a dark blue tint at night rather than being literally (0,0,0). Thanks!
