Yay! I can't wait to be afraid of the dark again!

Inspiring.

Someone should do some research. What was the typical DSL bitrate in 2000? How many people were still using 56k modems? Can probably find a way to put in a cap and delay packets from the serverside. None of this unclassic modern internet crap.

Also, what about typical processor speeds? More work obviously but it would likely be possible to force a function into the main loop that estimates effective clockspeed and sleeps off any excess beyond what was typical for the time. Let's turn back the clock on Moore's Law.

Will this fix be possible without affecting the UI's brightness?

Nope, it's an (unfortunate) limit of the Titanium client.

*EDIT:* Well, except you can always turn your alpha down.

Interesting.
I'm game for classic sight.
I'm also not a baby that thinks the game is TOO hard if it's darker... Are YOU on the RIGHT server? Jeez.

Or they'll get 3rd party software to increase the lighting.

Don't need 3rd party software. Just adjust your video card settings to compensate the gamma like we had to back in '99. Nowadays you can probably even set a custom profile for EQ to only change the gamma while it's running.

I use a gamma setting of 26. Getting lost in dark areas or zones at night is part of the classic experience. If it wasn't for online maps and sense heading I'd have to find a safe place to hide and camp out for a few minutes. Classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thats the max equivalent gamma setting I used, 26.

I also had to make some other adjustments, because some stuff had this white fog at times that did not look right.
