soulace, You can also add
Code:
ics_maxcameradistance 20
to your eq2.ini, though I thought the max was 15 (up from the old max of 10). Maybe they bumped it up again.
Note: Last I checked SOE still hadn't fixed a bug with the distance slider in the Options window. Setting the slider to the far right would actually reduce your max distance from the default value down to the old max of 10. Once that's happened, the only way I found to get greater than 10 is by adding the ini command or issueing the slash command in game.
