I believe the client we all use currently is the reason light levels are normalized. Meaning there was nothing the devs could do to make this more true to classic. Does this mean in Velious this could be more true to classic? That would be fantasic news!! I remember I played DE's for months and in EQ at launch. One day my buddy asks me for help with this Human Druid, so I log in and he is sitting in a dark zone. I couldn't see a single thing on the screen. Logged him out and rebooted, logged back in and still... totally dark.... I had to call him and ask WTF. After about 5 - 10 minutes of debating what is wrong, he said, you did cast Infravision on him right? Ahh no why would I have to do that.
Being able to make light spells and races that see in dark relivant would be fantastic and classic!!!
