I was going to award classic points, but this goes beyond that.
Secrets will henceforth be known as a classic points generator. | ||

Secrets' screenshot shows the candle that human (and I presume barbarian and Erudite) characters started with. Thing was pretty dim and didn't help a whole lot.

In August 2000, they removed the necessity of clicking the 'meditate' button while spellbook was open, and also removed the /meditate command. Meditating still required the spellbook to be open, prior to level 35.

You had to meditate with the book open (ie, you couldn't see anything) until level 35. This remained the case throughout the classic period.
The button was a separate thing. At first you had to press it to turn on meditate but that was patched and made automatic at an earlier date. I don't remember exactly when but it was gone by early Velious. EDIT: August 2000 for button removal, per Nilbog. The only thing that was really wrong with the periscope window UI (aside from the annoying single chat window) was that buff icons were rather large and took up excessive amounts of screen space on the right side of the view area. You could click a button to hide them but then you wouldn't notice when short duration buffs faded. Although the view area itself was relatively small, when not blocked by buffs the actual view was greater than on a modern widescreen. Widescreen resolutions letterbox the view and effectively cut off the top and bottom of the screen, while the overlaid UI elements cover up that much more of it. Danth | ||

I don't think Ctrl Alt Del would cause the same behaviour as I described unless that action invokes the consent.exe, but with UAC off or disabled then it may be a non issue. | |||
