Was the "gnomes seeing through walls" thing always classic?

I was straight up scared to leave Seyda Neen cuz I thought a cliffracer was a dragon in the distance

I feel that I remember accidentally exploring the woods around kelthin before realizing I was lost for the first time.

Way back in the day my druid spotted the AC in South Ro. Engaged it, brought it down to about 40%...and then the dreaded BSOD. Came back, found I was dead, and someone else had taken the AC.

How's that for olden days? lmao

Wouldn't work imo without some changes.

-Class balancing, should be able to play what I want without fear.
-Gear equalizing, so folks who don't get to raid don't just get eaten alive by those who do.
-Some kind of safeguard in place to make the server playable in 10 years by a newbie.

My very first character was an Ogre Shadowknight.

I walked straight out into Feerott and was like "Aw fuck this, can't see shit"

Darkness was such a pivotal part of the EQ experience. Think about it, nearly everyone in the game starts with a lack of visibility:

*Humans, Barbarians, Erudites --> nightblind
*Ogres, Trolls, Halflings, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, High Elves --> permanently cloudy newbie zones with a lack of viewing distance
*Dwarves and Gnomes --> start in maze-like underground cities

Half-Elves that start outside Faydark are the only ones who didn't face extra visibility challenges, and even then there's still RAIN that happens.
