I just think... well theres gonna be "custom content" in P1999 which impacts EVERYONE and is obviously NOT classic. and i dont hear any of the opposition complaining about that.

Because the server is basically dead at the point any possible classic content comes out. Plus there will be alternative P99 classic progression servers before the custom content happens in all likelihood.

3 Pages and not one answer to the OP's question. - This thread is classic.

I was told that in Velious, the Devs will be blocking any use of the Luclin player models - during the livestream announcement it was stated. Is this true?

Before you bombard this thread with the usual not-classic replies, please just reflect that this doesnt effect anyone else but the user themselves; its for my own personal enjoyment and it has zero gameplay advantages or impact on other players like in-game maps and the other 3rd party apps that players use frequently. It seems like such a small insignificant thing and sucks because I've been enjoying a mix of both classic and luclin models and actually created characters partially based on using luclin models.

So could we just get confirmation on this? I guess i feel like i know the answer already. in any case thanks very very much for this server. i enjoyed it alot.

On the stream it was said that Nilbog would force Classic models if he could . This is from the same man that wishes he could make us use the classic UI.

As has been said over and over, the goal of the project is the classic feel, not literally emulating what was Live EQ. I don't have a dissertation on why he would like to make the changes, but if the same man that brought so many amazing elements to the server wanted to make that change, I would let him.

well actually i just watched the stream and to be accurate he says: "rest assured we will get them disabled".

so i guess i got my answer ;(

thanks for the reply though.

Again, with Velious coming next month what is the point of working on the classic UI, unless there's going to be another properly timelined Blue(ish) server?!

From what I know, it is actually pretty near impossible, if it was easy he would have finished it already. I personally doubt much work is going into it, but he could work on it if he wanted to because it's what he does for fun.

Per Ele's post, the quotes from Nilbog makes it pretty clear.

The "kids" that complain about Luclin models are no more important to development than the "kids" that berate them. The Devs do all this work for themselves, it's what they enjoy. They owe service to no one.

This isn't a business, they aren't trying to sell their product. Everyone can feel free to complain about the server, but it'll accomplish about as much as trying to teach a snail trigonometry.

Because the differences between Classic UI and Velious UI is about 4 hot buttons and resizable windows?

Because we hope to have a new Classic Progression timeline server eventually and it would be nice to progress with UI changes during that timeline?

Because we shouldn't be using the Titanium or customizable UIs, like DuxaUI?

Luclin model hate is brought on by ignorant, basement dwelling, plebians.

Removing player choices are never good for a gaming community. I don't care if it's private or not. You can't get all hyped about having
1,xxx people playing your server and at the same time tell them they all they have to wear yellow jackets. you'll lose players.

The goal of the server is to create a replica of classic EQ not gain the most number of players.
