Game Mechanics: Helm shows when "show my helm" is disabled

I don't think this change was intentional, but if it is working that way.. it is classic.

Players now have an option in the options window to determine whether or not they want other players to see them with their helm. "Show My Helm"

There was a way to turn helm graphics off in velious. I remember it. I dont know if it were a glitch or a command but I do remember turning off bad helm graphics.

Wasn't this specifically for choosing to see classic or velious armor? In eqclient.ini you could choose loadveliousarmor = true/false, or a range of numbers, therefore enabling/disabling custom helm.

I do not recall a setting that would force helms off altogether though.

In Velious when the first class specific helms were becoming available (ToV, Thurg, Kael) they were either showing the incorrect helm graphic or no graphic at all (Paladin, SK, Warrior, Shaman, Cleric, Monk (Cowl of Mortality), Rogue, Ranger). At some point Verant fixed them and decided to give people a choice between showing no graphic (default turn in I think) and the correct graphic. There was a special NPC in Kael, Thurgadin, and Skyshrine to who you would turn in your helm to make it custom (graphic enabled).

None of the Caster class helms (Druid also but not positive) showed a graphic.
