So there I was

[fadetree]

So there he was all broken hearted

Just logged in and barely started

No light, no spell, and gamma down

Still he found his way around

He boiled, seethed and raged out loud

"Not classic this and not allowed!1!

Mine eyes have glimpsed forbidden sights

Of Nektulous in deepest night"

Our sympathies must lie with him

Whose eyes perceived despite light dim

Those sights not meant for men to see

Which he carries now eternally

good stuff, and you paid attention to meter, unlike SOME people.

The fix, btw is to put sun glasses on during night hours.

Back then everyone had CRT monitors, today everyone has LCD's. Maybe this plays a role as well.

The issue is that everybody plays with their brightness option in game turned up. If you drop it down to 0 then you cant see shit at night like your supposed to.

I agree. I just started and was disappointed in some of the things that are different than classic. Are there any other notable changes?

[Nirgon]

Naw that ain't true I tried that back in the day to no avail.

It might have actually helped a very little bit but even with ultravision it was ridiculously dark to the point you could get completely lost.

It was most immersive.

They have the night spawn cycles mostly nailed here as far as I've been able to tell and it is greatly appreciated. There's more to the magic of EQ than how many epics you have in your stable.

For instance, the divine work of our pal Telin on the particle effects. Luv dat guy. If anyone can #makeNightTimesDarkAagain, its him.

i knew something was off. i just started this server and was able to navigate through the tunnel to black burrow in everfrost as a barbarian without a light source.

i remember getting STUCK in that tunnel on live.

Right!!! Man I had to walk through that thing backwards to keep the torches behind me in sight just so I knew I was moving away from it.

Does anyone know what the technical hurdle was? I think it was client related in regard to video cards but I can't be sure.
