Custom keyboard configuration is in eqclient.ini [KeyMaps] section. Note that on a fresh install, [KeyMaps] won't be there. I tend to unbind keys for infrequently used features that are accessible through the in-game menu.
### Minimal User Interface
A good UI stays out of your way. My minimal UI is available in this repo as a patch set. Maintaining my custom UI changes as a patch set makes integrating official updates very simple. I like to set the fade transparency level for most windows to 0%. The exceptions are the hotbars, spellbars and chat windows. I tweak the xml files to get those to behave minimally. The goal of my minimal interface is improved immersion.

Chat colors are stored as separate RGB values in eqclient.ini [TextColors] section. The default color scheme is a relatively dark palette. I've implemented the ir_black theme and included it seperately so you can just copy and replace it in eqclient.ini. This is an ideal light text on dark background scheme, so it'll only make sense if you have dark chat windows like I do.
I have experimented with [gradient backgrounds for chat windows](http://i.imgur.com/LwK7kyO.jpg), but the result wasn't great because I could only get 10 levels of transparency from a tga texture ingame.
### Reorganize config files (optional)
There's over 4.3 thousand files sitting in the root game directory. If that triggers your OCD (or you hate having to look for the same file over and over again), you can reorganize a bit with [symlinks](//www.eqinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21379). This made a little more sense back when I wasn't using bash or raid 0 ssd.

### Fixing Allakhazam
Ala is an ad-supported website with useful free content. I think they have a subscription membership that goes with Wowhead, which seems like a great idea if you use it frequently. Their advertisements even seem to get through uBlock Origin. Here are some UBO filters that you should totally never use.

### Lore
There is plenty of lore in Norrath created by the developers. But the real story is about the players within the game, and the communities they created.
