Unless they added some specific checks for skeleton models, you could still do this using the same method as the luclin model workaround, though. With a little extra work, it might be possible to force nameplate to show up on plain classic skeles, too.

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.

FWIW, I don't believe you are in a position to judge the complexity of fixing issues in this extremely complicated piece of software. Maybe it's easy, maybe it's hard. But don't just assume that it's easy to fix bugs. We are at the mercy of an unpaid software dev to decide what is worth his time.

^^^ You presented a logical, rational, emotionless thought, and gave sensible reasons. Prepare your flame suit.

It's a shame they force this upon us blue, when red seems to be the only place where there are "issues".

"Short end?" Eru femmes are the most gorgeous non-furry of all with Luclin.

Eh, it is what it is. Can see the community here for what it really is now. Someone asked about luclin models, and has now turned into people bitching about people bitching......

It was hard enough to get new people to settle with the somewhat more up to date luclin models. When they saw classic models instantly laughed and said no way in hell. We all grew up just like most of you with EQ, and was able to enjoy p99 alongside all of you "shits not classic" ppl with no problem at all.
Is there a mass exodus? nope. Do you care if anyone does leave over this? def not. Just sucks that what we thought was our home for about a year is now rekt for no reason whatsoever. Now our group is split and dieing =(
Just seemed like a pretty dumb thing to enforce, when effort could have been served much better elsewhere.
But hey my join date is after 2010 so that's none of my business.

Do (or "did") Luclin models affect NPC models? (MM, cities, etc?)
