So can we enable Luclin models or no, I won't play on the server if you can't. I know me not playing would not be a "great" loss, but can we enable them or no?

I was worried to some extent about not having the Luclin models when I started. However, remember there was a graphics update before Luclin so the game does look much better than it did at release. After the first week you won't even notice that there are no Luclin models.

I'm more than slightly amused by someone joining an emulator server that boasts the 'experience of 1999 EQ' and then leaves when it doesn't look like the game circa 2001.

I think everyone is here for the old game mechanics. Not everyone likes the old shitty graphics. I started in Kunark and I HATED Luclin, but I still prefer the Luclin models (aside from the troll and maybe ogre models). It's not game breaking to not have them, but I would certainly like to enjoy more eye candy if it was possible. Hell if I knew how I'd hack my own models into the client and make the whole game look sexy.

tl;dr version: Old game mechanics are awesome and shitty graphics are shitty.

In live, I only had the luclin model turned on for my race/gender so that I could ride my horse... once I got an AoN... I turned that luclin model off as well.

While the luclin models may have been graphically superior technically, I always thought the animations of the original models were better. At least for the basic motions... Running, fighting and such were smooth and organic with the original models. The luclin models looked like a meth addict when in motion. Choppy, jerky... nervous.

Meh. To each his own.

I agree with this. While the artistic approach is subjective according to taste....those animations are just god awful and would ruin even the best character models.

I also hated with the luclin model (enabled for my holy steed) looked like it was stabbing with my clawhammer (2hb).

Now how effective can stabbing with a blunt weapon be?

In the new models females get super boobs. Even the gnomes.

I recall SW Galaxies had a boob slider to select optimal boob size. The guys who played girls always had it turned up all the way. I demand our throwback server have a boob slider. Sounds like a mixed drink or a kinky sushi dish.

So we demand on our throwback server the power to have super boobs. Its for the children. Think of the children.

Even children require boobs to live.




Also: don't think of boobs and then think of children.

If you stab hard enough, it will cause permanent damage [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
