Everything should be old models, there's not a single redeeming element of the luclin models.

Old models!

They may be boxier and lower res, but they're more polished. Their animations are smoother, they have better posture, and have an art style that is more in line with Norrath.

Luclin models were disappointing. They kinda lean to one side, run funny, cast spells boringly, and their armor is just clunky to me.

Agreed, I tried to go back and play EQLive but couldn't because of the models basically :/

The one exception I find is the elemental/pet models. Not because I like them more artistically, but because I can more easily tell which direction they're facing (I main a rogue).

Personally, I came into classic never really being too familiar with the classic models as I started during PoP to LoY era with the Luclin models which I liked and was used to, but the more I played the more I loved the classic models. Honestly I didn't really like them when I first started. They do seem more polished and have better animations, but I think the big thing here is that when they came out with Luclin models they kind of lost the charm of the original, gnomes weren't cute anymore, trolls and ogres turned very awkward and different, some just look straight weird such as the dwarf and human faces, and the elementals just went from cute to creepy. I do think the Iksars and Elves looked decent, but I just prefer to use the classic ones now.

Honestly I sometimes switch on Luclin models here and there for a day, but I always go back. Luclin models are so lanky and have awkward faces. I use the edited classic models which were made to look higher res without changing anything.

Why would anyone want Luclin models? Disgusting.

Man the Ogre Troll Models just SUCK in Luclin models. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But I must admit the Armour does look better.

No one is going to see your luclin models and tbh they dont match the game at all and look retarded. You should match the era and use classic models. Velious textures are going to look really exciting on the classic models and don't look like anything on the luclin models.

Classic models or die in a fire.
