great work, but be careful not to stray too far from the origional feel, like this shield for example doesnt make me think of origional art, it looks like a new version of old art. which is basically luclin graphics so, careful!

Ok, I LOVE this entire project, I didn't hate Luclin, and I'm pre-disposed to disagree with mickmoranis ([You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) ... but that shield scares me too. Here's why: this server is full of class-holes. With them onboard practically everyone on the server will want these textures. Who knows, maybe someday Nilbog will even build them in to the patch (one can dream).

But if you include stuff like this shield, which doesn't look like the original (the wood is much darker and the HUGE stud in the middle/large studs on the edges all became tiny studs) then you really are leaving the "classic" goal of this server and making your own thing (albeit a much cooler and better-looking thing than what Verant made).

I realize it's a fine line to walk, and honestly I'll use these textures no matter what, but for the sake of adoption I do hope you'll reconsider making that shield more classic.
