Character models are a part of the game's original design. Trying to compare classic model enforcement to technical advances is apples to oranges.

These were all also in the games original design, yet are kept. This is classic? Luclin graphic overrides were being used since the project began, much how UI overrides were being used. Neither affected how others enjoyed the classic game play P99 offers.

And that is really the point of those using Luclin models. They want a classic "game play" experience, they do not necessarily want "classic" aesthetics. And if I might be so bold, aesthetics and game play are apples and oranges as well. Aesthetics does not implement game play; and while the developers of P99 may feel that they don't have to listen to their community, it's their community that ultimately makes their project worth while. What's the point of the project if no one plays on it?

I see no harm in updated graphics so long as the game play is the same. So rather than turning Luclin models off, make a toggle for those who prefer to keep them on, kinda how EQ2 did with the SOGA models, which looked 100x better than the original models.
