Dark nights, infravision and so forth.

[Sillyturtle]

So I never played Original EQ. I was on the DAoC hype train and missed out. As such, my EQ experience comes exclusively from P99.

I've seen some older screenshots that display just how dark things were and read comments from people about how the lighting was a really important factor.

Does anyone know just why it's not like that here on P99? Was there a reason in particular?

I don't know if it's just because our computer technology is that much stronger now, but from the screenshots I saw it doesn't look like that's the case.
