...or 100 million of them. I'm not going to gripe about how pricey things are getting in-game. Norrath has been good to me over the years but I still take a deep breath whenever I click the buy button on the Broker and watch all those zillions of plat disappear.

No matter which size UI you're using, almost all of the odd bits and pieces like conversation bubbles, examine windows and signage, are scaled appropriately. But one important part of the UI that you can resize without help from DarqUI is complex tooltips. Those are the ones for spells, recipes, etc., that co...

Recently, Darq Side member Meisa was wondering aloud in Discord about where she could find Norrath time in numerical form.

With the release of Visions of Vetrovia this month, the game developers decided to remove the in-game browser, at least for now. You could argue that it's not much of a loss, since the browser client was so outdated and miserable that it was next to useless anyway.
But the game and DarqUI had both relie...
