Default You know what would be fricken awesome m

A high rez antialiased photo album of all the cool architecture, camps, and memorable spots.

Like a picture of the rune thing in neriak third gate. Or the evil eye neon sign. Or the evil eye shrine in xorbb. Or the ghoul lord camp. Or Blackburrows tents and loan gnoll. Etc.. but done without the UI. Just like onserver mode. And the book could be laid out in order of travels from the different cities or across Antonica and the planes. Would be cool if it went through all of the expansions showings off the cool spots and landscapes. Could all be digital.

The desire exists in the minds eye. The body is dead. The desire is given to the universe to be let go...

Maybe the UAPs will pick up the desire and do it from the ruins of human civilization. It'll be like some religious archive the clonelings are trained on.

Yeah, ive always wanted a high quality art coffee table book or something, one exists for the game box artist but i don't think we ever got a good one of in game assets, maybe one exists

i ran around taking screenshots of everything i could when i got ingame with the Trilogy client for the first time with the EQC project and that Zone viewer program prior to that during actual classic but high rez versions would be awesome.

You would be surprised how a good high end antialias is too. I don't play with it on. But when I finally had the hardware to do it through the video card control panel I was rly impressed. Still looked exactly like EQ butt my brain went Woah!

Hey can't you find some cool AI software, that can take an EQ screenshot, and like make it uprezzed to modern graphics, but still look like it's representational of the original screenshot?

Digital propofol. Would be so freaking gud to just have this as a dream. Then that's it. You don't notice yourself anymore. It's just pure EQ.

yeah, they started cracking down on that stuff now that Disney is suing Midjourney. the software is out there but i don't wanna pay for the hardware to do it, waiting on the ai tech crash to scoop up some GPUs and Herman Miller chairs lol

yeah someone can totally take the character and use photoshop or w/e to insert it into an actual EQ scene if it won't recreate it 1:1

i never had luck with prompt variations of "in the style of Keith Parkinson" for example it always spit out generic stuff that didn't quite look like the box art
