What about an exodus?

Let's see numbers are if Classic UI was implemented. Played Live with Classic UI - never again. Same reason I refuse to play Dragon Quest series [potrait view].

Dare I say it, perhaps I have been wrong about SoL after all these years ..

You know the classic ui (prekunark->velious), you could just press f10, for fullscreen?

The tears over character models are delicious. Seriously, you people are just bitching to bitch. Why do you care so much if your armor pokes off your character or is pasted on them? Did you enjoy the game before the space kitties invaded? If you answered yes, guess fucking what, they don't matter. If you answered no, maybe you shouldn't play a game you don't like? I mean, does it really matter?

yeah, and i dont think the resolution was capped that low either, was it?

to be truly classic bronze armor has to look blue on amd cpus also

Losing the option for Luclin models makes me a little sad, but it isn't a deal breaker by any means. Life goes on.

Perhaps I am subtly masochist, but I forgot about the night vision aspect in the earliest game and look forward to that change eventually. And I have some non infravision characters in stock too ready to go bump in the night.

Hokkay, found some time where I was bored: for you luclin model lovers out there, a quick and dirty workaround thingy https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ide%20Door.zip

On the one hand, it also works around the internal model dependencies (don't need human for erudite or wood elf for other elf). On the other hand, I hope you like baldness and, if a robe-wearer, pantslessness. External mesh pieces (like the baggy parts of robes) don't seem to get loaded correctly. Dunno if that would be fixable by cramming more data in there (where is hair even loaded from?). No idea if this applies to bulky plate armor or not!

Suitably flawed, but I wouldn't expect this to work for very long in any case.

I'm on the server, and everyones cool. People leveling up, getting on with things, someone gave my shammy a crested mistmoore shield for free. I forget your name friend but you know who you are, a 58 Druid. Gave me thorns, then another Druid was running around Oasis buffing everyone (numerous times he went OOM so he just medded up and started buffing again).

That sort of thing is infectious so I went to EC and started finding people I could help out. Sowed everyone I could, went to Freeport and bound an Iksar there, refused the donation even though I don't even have money for my spells. And thats the spirit of Everquest - people needing help and getting it.

Then I come to the forums and people aren't happy with the old models and threaten to quit unless the luclin models are reinstated. And the people that are happy with the old models are angry too, for some reason, and they're posting insulting images and telling people to leave. Everyone getting angry, throwing tantrums, fighting.

It feels like people are channeling that 15 year old kid they were back in 99, when they discovered flaming and newsgroups for the first time. And they're unable to separate that from the father/mother they are now, with the mortgage, career and responsibilites that comes with 2015. You don't need all this drama to relive EQ. It was a part of it back then, sure. But we're all older now and life should have chipped away those rough edges.

If you enjoy Project 1999 and want to give back to the devs, a great way to start is to be civil with one another. Make the forums a welcoming place, Rogean et al will appreciate it. If you disagree with the decisions of the devs, there's a way of getting your point across and having a calm debate. Offer a compromise, or suggestions. The devs will listen to that, if you just offer threats they're more likely to dig their heels in than cave to demands. And likewise, if someone says stuff you disagree with don't exacerbate the problem by attacking them. You can disagree with them in a civil manner, you don't need to lose your cool and tell people to leave the server.

These forums will be newcomers first point of contact with the game. Try to make it a good one.

So I am a "2015" player, and have no problem admitting that against the crowd census that we are all pieces of crap who don't know anything. These forums also are an exact antithesis of the players that I interact with everyday on the server, and is quite eye-opening to the antics and childishness that takes place. But lets get on with the topic at hand here...

I am a fan of the Luclin models by far because classic models clearly look like they're made of legos. If a player wants Luclin models they should be able to change it. If they want Classic, just don't change the GlobalLoad to reflect it. DEV's want to control personal preference in the name of reminiscent P99 world that they are creating, but when it's client side, some leeway should be given. I think it would be easier to fix the small Luclin model bugs rather than scrapping the client side preference of many, many players.

I understand that the DEVs goal is to bring it as classic as possible, but to be honest there are much bigger fish to fry than getting rid of Luclin models, especially when it's something that is purely for the players own aesthetic preferences. But as a F2P Emu, not much complaining should be done and we should take it for what it's worth rather than trying to fight it in the end.
