The motherboard in my rig came with a Creative soundcard built in, it's ok but really have nothing to compare it with. Point is, it's hard for me to say if sound is correct on P99. I would need to hear it on period correct hardware with an OS of the time that didn't require workarounds. Is the clarity, depth, detail better on a system that didn't? is what I have now and Windows 10 better? IDK. 3D positional audio still works though but to what extent I can't say.

Back in EQs heyday...

The technology was originally developed by Crystal River Engineering for NASA's Virtual Environment Workstation Project (VIEW). Crystal River later commercialized the technology with a series of products including the Convolvotron and the Acoustetron. Aureal acquired Crystal River in May 1996 and rebranded the technology A3D. Many modern sound cards and PC games incorporated A3D via license from Aureal. Due to Aureal's acquisition the technology is now part of the intellectual property of Creative Labs.

This isn't what you originally posted. The original post showed no vision at all, like launch was. This isn't the same thing AT ALL... kinda like a bait and switch. That image is nothing compared to what we endured in early EQ. Most of us that actually did it hated it. That's why we reacted as we did.

And as far as I read, not one person suggested that it was the end of the world. Most people just complained that it would make the game no fun to not be able to see anything while meditating. But I gotta ask, why exaggerate and insult people for their opinions?

Did you miss this post?

We're not going to be forcing the black screen on green, so everyone put down the pitchforks.

We will still be requiring the book and meditate button for < 35 though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Considering there are 36 pages of responses, do you think it's obvious? I don't have time to read 36 pages of just one thread. That's why I said it would be good if you edited the OP so that people wouldn't spiral.

Because your OP is clear - it says that you won't be able to see when meditating. Saying "we were just kidding" pages later doesn't help much IMO.

This is what it's going to look like for people running 1920x1080: https://i.imgur.com/WXj5uOf.png

Just pointing this out for people who are still saying a book on the screen is the end of the world. That's how it's going to look on Green.
