A friend, who stuck with live a lot longer than I did, brought it to my attention that SoF expansion let you go back in time and face a lot of the old dragons. He mentioned that this included visiting a field of bones zone which was occupied by Trakanon. This Trak was the live version, and you had to help him rather than kill him. Some of the lore to it is actually interesting so I decided to look it up.
That's when I saw this:

Are you kidding me? That could barely pass for an update to Lady Nev, at best. Apparently they didn't have any dev staff at the time or something, but what a joke. Compare that model to the real Trak:

Which still looks awesome to this day. Their latest "Trakanon" is almost as sad as the Luclin player models. Even Everquest 2 model creators had a clue what Trakanon even looked like. Too bad their animations for him look like something they could have done with 10 pixels on Atari.
