Since no one has hit arrived to it yet, I'll try to share what the logic behind removing Luclin models would be.

The goal of the server is to recreate Classic EQ. Luclin models aren't classic.

It has nothing to do with anyone's enjoyment. From what I know of Nilbog, he would want people in the future to look at screenshots and videos of p99 and say "shit's classic".

Character models aren't the most important change to make, but it makes sense that Nilbog would want to do it.

too bad about all those not-classic UI's in the screenshots.

and watching a twitch stream the other day. the guy was using an updating map addon. now that is an advantage.

You think that Nilbog wouldn't have us staring at the classic UI too if he could do so easily?

shows up to another guy's free classic server

tells the guy what exceptions he should make so that he can enjoy girly luclin models

yells at the unpaid volunteer guides when he doesn't get his way

Just code it so that if you have luclin models on, you also get a sparkly tail of rainbow particle effects and a unicorn's horn, and your surname gets changed to "Mylittlepony"

Everybody wins.

'Better Looking' is a matter of opinion. Luclin models look retarded. Yes classic models are older but that doesnt make them not as good.

Oh is it matter of opinion now? And here I thought that its the old models that looked retarded.

Yes, it is an opinion. Look the word up.

The new models also move retarded. Classic eq models may be old but they are great for what they are. They did great with what they had. The new models...not so much. For being new they sure screwed them up. They could have been awesome.

Something else i wasnt crazy about with the new graphics was how every breastplate had etching all over it. What happened to regular Plate mail?

* Trolls & Ogres lost all of the interesting character to them. Original models were fun & the ass-scratching idle animation was a great feature. Luclin models look like retarded football players who're gonna die slowly and painfully from some horrible steroid-induced malady.
* Iksars went from cool looking lizardman warriors to really stupid-looking juiced bodybuilders with spray-on scales & rubber masks & tails.
* Gnomes... wtf? seriously?? put down the mirror and the coke and back away slowly from the mouse and keyboard, don't come back
* Dwarves went from ugly with character to just ugly
* Halflings... never cared enough to notice how they were changed
* Erudites... lost their unique character, much prefer the original big dome dudes & the most graceful female outline in the game
* Animations so so so bad on the new models
* Half-elf plate helm graphic on the new model is so incredibly horrible that my paladin refused to get a mount specifically to avoid having to look like that on my screen

I could've gotten past most of that, human and elf models in general do look better and I play mostly human & elf chars, but those funky animations and the ultimate horror of the half-elf plate helm were fatal flaws that cannot ever be forgiven.
