A while back, I mentioned I thought that people used to drink faster in the desert zones of Oasis. The suggestion was researched and found that yes, people drink twice as fast than "cooler" zones. It has not been implemented since in part, it may tie into different foods offering different duration of past time before another item is consumed; which has not been implemented either.

Talking of this, food types are implemented already? I leveled my gnome rogue from 1 to 20 in 2 weeks on a couple of muffins ... is that normal?

Someone told me gnomes being smaller eat less ... so this piqued my curiosity

It would be a racial thing, not size. Pretty sure halflings eat faster than the other races.

While we are on the subject of weather (at night) lightning doesn't seem to roll as I remembered it.

I have a really distinct memory of visiting my friend's house to watch him play eq (we didn't have twitch back then) and i remember the lightning would keep flashing for a substantial amount of time several times only over a period of perhaps a couple of seconds.

On p1999 we seem to have an instant of illumination and then it's back to pitch black.

I guess this hunch needs further research.

So, I really have only ever played in windowed mode. In green, in EC at night for example, it's fairly dark, even with a fire beetle eye. However, it's playable.

I just got a new monitor. If anything, it's slightly brighter settings wise. In EQ in windowed mode at night, with a fire beetle eye, it's literally unplayable. I can barely see movement. In full screen though, it's perfectly fine- maybe even brighter than windowed on my old monitor.

Any thoughts on this? I hate playing full screen [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm not sure what happened, but I was fine until about a week ago. My dwarf can't see anything at night in greater faydark. Gamma's at 100 and it's the same on my laptop and an external monitor.

I looked at my wife's laptop and hers is fine at the same location. (wood elf) I'll try on another laptop today.

Not sure if it's an issue specific to me, but after making a human character minor lightsources like Lightstones, Fire Beetle eyes, and torches seem to make absolutely no difference in darkness.

I know it's classic to be dark, but there should be items available to low level players to help them see, and currently those items don't seem to do anything.

just made a human, and without that little candel they give you, you cant see ANYTHING.

I might be late to the party, but I've recently returned to P99 to check out Green and I'm looking for a fix for these light source issues.

• The blinding gamma/light source issues in EC tunnel.
• Rubitice looks pink-ish and Bronze appears yellow next to a light source. Was this a recent change/bug?
• My first trip to High Keep and all the white walls are blinding.
