2. The proper "classic" darkness vision for Humans, Erudites, Barbarians cannot be recreated here because "darkness vision" was edited out of the Titanium client.

...

1. Started July '99
2. Had Voodoo card instead of the budget crap others played with

I had the same. It was all relative. You could turn gamma up, but then everything was blown out.

Still not the same.

Yes, that's true (referring to using gamma slider in "classic" days.) To allow a human/barb/erudite to see in some of the darker places you had to turn gamma up so far that you would be blinded by saturation in places like daylit desert zones. Had to be ready to adjust when you zoned.

Great post! It's funny, I didn't even realize how different Titanium is from the original EQ. I'm glad the UI is newer, that one was downright painful! >.<

back when i was 12, it was dark as fuck in qhills and too scary, so i did what every other fearful 12 year old did...went to oasis.

Yeah, read about that thing with EQClassic, but from the replies in that thread I got the impression that Yeahlight would still finish the project and there was the glimmer of possibility he'd give it to someone else to host. One can dream.

Greater Faydark was always pitch black too, even with elf vision I remember getting lost in the dark. When I first got my Mask of Deception it got me killed more than once because I was always using it for Ultravision.

I think my guild forgot my rogue really was a barbarian, as I lived in Illusion: Dark Elf always, just to see. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am no programming genius but I still think if one were to take a copy of the original box game (or perhaps the trilogy version) it would surely be easier to recreate an even closer doppelgaenger of classic than with Titanium. I will ship my copy to any enterprising programmer who is willing to try!

By accepting said copy of EverQuest Trilogy, programmer (hereafter known as the "acceptee") agrees to split any and all RMT (real-money trading) profits with provider of said copy of EverQuest Trilogy by an equal fifty percent. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hell I don't have the trilogy client but I have all my original install discs from Kunark to PoP and would be willing to donate if it helps make the game look and feel more classic, just let me know!

As a dwarf, I had some vision ability, but I didn't know how to configure my video properly early on. I remember my first trip to Kelethin. I spotted someone with a lantern headed that way and I asked if I could follow him. Hehe. I remember being scared shitless.

This is why EQClassic is so good. If only it weren't essentially vaporware! The Alpha was really fun, playing on that client again and running around the available zones.
