People that play on this server play it for their classic experience, not yours.

I played from 1999-2003; I played from before Kunark expansion all the way to Gates of Discord. I leveled, I died, I dinged, I donged, I soloed, I grouped, I dragged corpses, I lost corpses, I paid for SoW, I paid for Jboots, I used to launch the game just to hear the loading music.

We all have our own experiences with EverQuest, our own memories, of guilds, guild members, friends we made and lost, friends we made and never heard from after that 3:00am corpse run.

The point is it doesn't matter whether you like classic models or velious models, because whether I have classic or velious models turned on, the game looks the same on your screen, and its what I want mine to look like on mine. I do not believe it is fair for the devs to force us to the classic scheme when the game works perfectly well with either.

Except we're talking about Luclin graphics, which aren't classic.

It should not matter. It is a personal choice that only the player can see.

Doesn't matter.

For the Keep Kontent Klassic Taliban, they want to control what you see too.

Personal choice is playing here or not playing here.

What the Devs elect to do is their prerogative. Fortunately for all true Classholes, Nilbog and Rogean will happily nuke anything unclassic, even graphics, if they have the capability to do so.

Classic EQ, as defined by this project, stops at Velious. The goal is to recreate that era as closely as possible. This doesn't only mean server side. Luclin models did not exist then and shouldn't be an expected option when choosing to play on this server.

Gamma wasn't as good either in classic days, why don't you change that back to dark like it was in the classic days too? I saw P99 tried it for like a day and everyone hated it lol....hmm...strange...when those classic experiences come back people bitch...

The brightness issue is specifically a Titanium client issue and if it could be fixed it would be. You guys really don't grasp the whole "Classic Restoration Project" thing going on here do you? Your personal thoughts on how the game should be is not what's up for debate, it's how the game was at a certain point in its history and that's ultimately the objective and destination in the end.

Unfortunately, that gamma experiment didn't result in a "classic experience." They reverted that change for a reason.
