Anyone thing this is possible ?

Just to clarify, I personally don't find any issue with what sort of models anybody sees on their end. It doesn't effect me one bit and there are some Luclin models I enjoyed as well.

It's just a sore subject on the forums that causes heated debate for what ever reason. Long story short, while it's true that nobody else would see what models you have turned on (I use the new models for elementals for example, I like to know what direction they are facing), it's also not a simple fix as it requires Luclin to be enabled. And since Luclin is not enabled they can't simply add the models. At least that's how the story goes.

Also the term oh boy is just a phrase, I wasn't specifically referring to you as a boy: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Etymology...n-phrase-4.htm [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm actually of the opinion that Planes of Power was one of the best EQ Expansions. But regardless, this is a "Classic" server, with the intention of stopping at Velious. If you want to play Planes of Power, you can play PEQ.

This has been the server's intention since day 1. Why are people trying to change this? If you don't want to play Classic - Velious only, why did you make a character here?

I agree, I could spend years on this expansion and still be content. I think even with a few years raiding PoTime (with a full 72) not everyone would have every item they wanted.

I know most will disagree on this point...
I actually liked Gates of Discord. Most people saw it as a let down, but the transition from the lootzone of PoTime to the kick in the groin of GoD raids was very fun. The fact that it wasn't free loot, the events seemed more complex, and progression took a lot of time. (Most guilds didn't beat uqua until level 70 was released, and then it was still hard). GoD didn't have any easy ports, it didn't have any graveyards. By far it resembled a lot of the hardships from classic.

IMO what truly killed EQ is the Guild hall and Guild lobby. Why talk to anyone if you can go in your Guild Hall and port to the raid location you needed to get to. Why ask for buffs when you can AFK in the Guild Lobby and soak up MGBs. Why ask a necro to come summon/EE rez you when you can summon your corpse. That took the game to an all time low.

I just found this server, and I will enjoy the few hours a week I can spend on here a week. It would be sad if this server stops at Velious due to fears of what SOE did. This is a privately run server, it can be altered and progress... Keep the classic mechanics, leave the easy-mode stuff out of the game, but continue with adding content (but not at the rate that Live did) 2 years per expansion would be nice. It would allow everyone to get to a good place. Additionally it would allow time to analyze the next expansion and make any modifications that need to be done to fit it into the classic feeling. If that content can't be adapted to the classic feel it should be skipped.

I agree that the server should remain classic. But, what in your guys' opinion constitutes as classic? There are many reasons. In my opinion it wasnt just the content alone that made classic, classic. It was the community. I have nothing wrong with progression. But, I do when it starts to interfere with the economy/community within the game.
