It would be so easy to pump the gamma back up if they locked the slider that it would just amount to a waste of dev time.

That's fine, as I've shown in my post above you can have your stupid dark screen. I never want to have to group with you since you'll likely be useless because you can't see for anything.
I play on red bro its hardcore you wouldnt know anything about that. I bet you keep a nightlight to scare away the boogyman like ur 12. You should quit ingame and irl

Don't need 3rd party software. Just adjust your video card settings to compensate the gamma like we had to back in '99. Nowadays you can probably even set a custom profile for EQ to only change the gamma while it's running.

Like they did when they took out the target rings, the map, the compass or put the guildname on the same line, right?

None of those is even close to impacting the game like the brightness of the screen. I am not going to put up with not being able to see. Like I said I'll quit or find a way around it.

For what it's worth, if you want the stupid darkness from original EQ here is how you can get it.

1. Fire up 2 separate EQ clients. Have one logged into blue server and another logged into red or beta.
2. Log both into the world completely.
3. Now log out of the server that you do not want to be in an close that client totally. The remaining client will have its gamma adjustment removed and you'll experience the shitty darkness that I guess you wanted?

Think you are overdramatizing it all a bit; 3rd party software isn't required.

Not to mention all the illusion spells like iksar, high elf and dark elf have built in ultravision.

Yep, if you lower the gamma in the option settings to 21% or 26%, you will have a display that is FAR closer to classic brightness than the default gamma settings. Will it be perfect? No, but a torch will still come in handy under these settings.

In addition, EQ never used OpenGL. It was originally released under Glide for 3dfx cards and DX5, soon upgraded to DX6 with the release of Kunark.

Who the hell ever used torches? Just get a fire beetle eye or lightstone, they are free.
If you want classic, just put slide your gamma down and keep calling us that like to see whinny babies. I am secure enough in my man hood to know the differences between wanting to play the way I want to play and or letting a bunch of people that want to force everyone to play the way they want to play.
It all comes down to choice, why take choice away?
