You know i tried running things at 2k. I tweaked with the client to increase the size of the icons etc to compensate for the decreased size of important things.

Some reason though, the game would crash randomly. ended up giving up on it. Didn't seem to really make much difference anyways.

Ya I think I'll end up returning it, ugh thought it was a good one too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I play on a 2k monitor, I'd guess that most PC gamers are on 1440p at this point, or at least close to half.

1440p monitors work fine for EQ. I don't take many screen shots, so I don't have many examples I can show you, but here's 1 for reference:

This is a 2k UI made for 1440p, if you just use the default EverQuest UI that will work fine too, the icons and everything else is still plenty large enough to see. Just do the tip that others mentioned and use /chatfontsize 5 or 6.

I though 5 was the max?
The listed options are 1-5, but doing 6 makes it bigger than 5. I guess they never got around to updating it for 1-6.

You can also use DPI scaling to increase the size of the interface. Many people play on large 4k displays without issues.
