I explicitly agree with this (lol). It's not a quality of life issue, it should be a simple adjustment, it affects no one but the end user, and it contradicts the fact that most people are uprezzing character models, entire zones, and using a Velious UI when Velious hasn't been released yet.

Soooo... *bump* let's find a solution that makes common sense here folks. I vote for the ability to achieve HD sky and water. Anyone else?

I vote Yes

Yesh - it's no different than any other visual improvement that affects no one else.

Indeed, we enjoyed the game mechanics in 1999: it doesn't mean the graphics are easy on the eyes in 2020 or we wouldn't have texture packs, etc, with links to it pinned by staff. If we can and want to improve it for our own self-experience, much like the precedence of being able to swap out textures/spellfx, please allow us to do so [You must be logged in to view images.

While a /vote won't necessarily get a change if dominant, perhaps staff may grant the request if enough folks are interested.

Heck, there used to be a simple "new water" checkbox in options. If they could just bring that back, that'd fix the water fast. As for sky ... no checkbox for that, but allowing us to swap would do the trick.

Here's another screenshot of what the water can look like in the moonlight:

***BUMP***

It's 2023, folks.

Let us have our Classic experience but with the choice to upgrade the water and sky.

Please and thank you.
