LOL i play EQ to get away from the aspects of real life. my MMO friends dont care what i wear, its all about skillz.

Fair enough, but everyone has their own reasons for enjoying classic.

I'm afraid that most of the people who say absolutely not to making Luclin models an option sound like crazed zealots. I like playing with the old models that I "grew up" with, but it doesn't make my experience one whit less classic if other people see the models differently than I do. The very nature of this argument shows just how people see the world around them differently anyway, so why get angry about it?

Live and let live plz

P.S. Those of you arguing that you won't look "cool" if your character is not seen using the model you have it set up with....sorry, you're playing EQ, you already don't look cool! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"Let people play how they want to play! Live and let live! Respect everyone's choices! Just enjoy the game!

P.S. except you people who think style matters. screw you guys!"

Yeah, the irony is thick. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

None of you felt sorry for Erudites after Luclin came out? An entire race of players went from looking awesome to looking like Mr. T on a bad hair day.

Adding non-classic aspects to a game regardless of its aesthetic nature is taking steps (baby steps in this case) towards creating a gaming experience that is neither classlic nor Live EQ. I believe this defeats the whole purpose of dedicating a server to recreating the classic feel and progression of everquest circa 1999.

An example of how adding minor features here and there can drive a game away from its classic feel can be seen in emulated servers such as UO Hybrid (http://www.uogamers.com/) It is a community so hardcore in their beliefs of a classic Pre-Trammel UO experience yet somehow justify a pay for gold service / buying mounts and a PVP EVERYWHERE (except this area) type of mentality. A down with stupid UO live flamboyant cloth colors except for this one rare that I happened to come across. I'm sure they went out of the gate as a dedicated classic experience but every now and then an idea was presented and pushed by the community that could make things nicer/easier/prettier... Am i the only one who sees character models as a degradation to the classic experience?

I understand the counter argument, If I don't like it then I don't have to use them. Agreed, however I do feel that giving in to the demands of changing the game to suit peoples desires for a more Live experience will only hurt the server and the experience of the players in the end. After all, why not add armor dyes into the game? If you don't like it don't dye your armor. Why not put titles back in the game? They don't hurt anyone right?

If it really isn't a big deal then just deal with NOT having the models.

I will say this, even back then you could turn on and off specific race models at will. In PoP many used to turn off new models on those big 72 person raids to help with framerates a little.

I can't believe you guys are still whining about this.

I'm starting to change the reason why I like having the old models. It used to be nostalgic; now I just hope it pisses you whiners off.
