Well, certain spells like 'Mask of the Hunter' for druids can increase FoV, so it is technically possible. However, I do not think there is a setting you can alter the value for in the video settings in game. If I had to guess, the setting is buried in some innocuous looking file in your directory. Goodluck, and let us know if you find it.

Well, you can F9 from first person view to third person. From there, you can change camera positions.

I can't play eq not in first person. That's how I did it for years. Would playing in a non fullscreen lower res window help?

get out of full screen and widen that resolution

http://wiki.project1999.org/Assiduous_Vision does it. One of my favorite spells, I cast it on myself.

For me scrolling down with the mouse wheel and into 3rd person can help with motion sickness.

Play in whatever point of view u are comfortable with, personally I dont get the advantage of first-person. First-person effectively cuts off half of your FoV (whats behind you) which limits your reactions to situations. Thats just my $0.02.

There are no advantages to 1st person, and you can always tell if a person is playing in it....and I don't mean that in a good way.

Do most people play in the 3rd person view made by scrolling the mouse out from 1st person point of view? Every other view just feels odd with movement for me if I don't scroll out of first person; perhaps that's because I'm used to a lot of first person shooter games.

Yep, that's what I do. I also haven't ever found any other camera angle I actually like. I certainly use some of the other angles when necessary, but I never like it.

on live I would F9 twice to get third person and pan out until my chars feet are at the top of my text box, but here i just scroll out gives you the ability to pan around with mouse, you cant do that in traditional 3rd person

I hit F9 4 times, I can't play in any other view except hitting f9 3 times which i use in dungeons sometimes. easy to see in every direction at all times
