In general, the brightness of EQ has increased quite a bit throughout the years. Some has to do with client changes, some with graphics changes, and some with the technology we currently use. Current LCD monitors putting out 300+ nits of brightness certainly doesn't help any.

The best thing you can do is to turn the ingame gamma option down. On my CRT display, its turned down to 31% to get it close to "classic" brightness. On my friends LCD display, I have to turn it down to around 15% to get it to look right. It'll never be "pitch black darkness in qeynos hills" dark, but it might be close if you are a human.

I may also release my updated graphics files which will help with the night time sky getting closer to the original look. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Depending on your monitor gamma and brightness, you might not see a thing!
