Classic EQ and Luclin Models

I never understood this sentiment. I ran into it for the first time about 4 years ago when I figured out that with some work, you could use the SoD client on p99 which would give you access to luclin models. The thread rapidly sank into a degenerate nerd-trash slapping match. It was funny for a while. Then I started getting tells in game.

Listen, I get it. We play, FOR FREE, on someone else's server. We play at their whim. Fine. What I don't get is all the nerd rage over this. The stuff about exploits is all semantic. Some of those exploits have been around for a decade and aren't any better or worse than the stuff you can exploit with the classic models.

Why do people get so worked up over something that has a miniscule to zero effect on anyone else's gameplay? No one reading this forum has any idea what models I am currently using. How I appear to you in game depends entirely on what you have loaded. So why the butt hurt?

In before "because it's not classic*!"


* what they really mean is "because it's not what the devs want." Everyone's idea of classic is different.

It's human instinct - we see the same thing happen in politics.

People believe that they are always right and rejoice when laws are created in their favor - even if it is at the expense of another's freedom.

However the time comes when a law affects their own freedom (and it most certainly will), they will complain that their rights are being infringed upon.

Yes it's their server.... yes it's classic... but classic does not always mean it's the fun or right thing to do (see spellbook medding, classic UI, etc.)

Luclin skeleton is the worst three dimensional creation I have ever seen.

Then they came for target rings...

..and I didn't give a fuck because it wasn't classic.

Then they came for con displaying in target window

..and I didn't give a fuck because it wasn't classic.

Next they will come for sneak mem blur on stand

..and I won't give a fuck because that isn't classic.
