Gamma is miserable, light sources / guise / vision line have no effect really. It forces players to use alternative programs or display changes to cope. Just rip out that change until it can be done properly.

Reroll iksar and get a greater lightstone

Light sources don't seem to be working properly though. Atleast my epic didn't and all epics should be maximum light source.

Nilbog - Trakanon no longer wastes time with Necromancer spells.

Please see here: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=54

This classic raid video from 2001 clearly shows him stopping to cast Necromancer spells at the two points in the video. It's classic for him to do so. Perhaps just make him less inclined to cast those spells, but they should be cast none the less.

Excellent point on vision and light. I remember that BB tunnel with my erudite and seeing so little distance with a torch. Made ultravision and infravision spells useful. Seems everyone has great sight now.

PS: Honestly have no clue how much running the servers cost so don't really know how much to donate.

Nice work there!

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!!!

revert gamma changes please, it affects 2nd monitor when playing eq in windowed mode...

Keep the EQ shit within the EQ window. There is NO reason that it should be affecting the gamma of the system. None whatsoever.

This. That is some intrusive bullshit.

Gotta agree. I'm all for classic darkness, and giving some purpose to infravision, ultravision, and all those light-source objects. Before I ran EQ this morning, I was on the dark side.

BUT, now that I've run it - my email is dark, my browser is dark, my background screen is dark. Everything is dark. This would be considered a heinous bug with any other program, and I think it's a bug here too.
