I vividly remember "calling" the dragoons at the Neriak gates to help the guards at the bridge in Nektulos because they were being slaughtered by "light siders." Of course the GM's frowned on that, but it was still fun nonetheless.
What the heck, man, I just got perma-banned for that. Well, replace Nektulos with "Freeport" and "light siders" with "a troll" and there ya have it.

What's great about EQ isn't that its a "traditional" roleplay game where people fake voices, never break character, etc...

EQ is a real rpg because over time you start to care about a fake world with real world emotions. These emotions in EQ are real, and they have a wide spectrum...hate, love, jealousy, pride, embarrassment, etc...

You start to think of your avatar AS yourself. You get used to people calling YOU another name, and respond to that name as though it were your real one.

You forget in the depths of playing your real world problems, and assume the challenges of your avatar in their place.

THESE are what makes EQ a REAL rpg...the voice faking stuff is just superficial.

I can answer the question as to why.

I like the mechanics of the game.

I have come back and played for a while now and for the most part enjoy the graphics and models retro feel. But the trolls for example are not to my liking. Maybe its cause i made a SK troll in luclin era graphics, but its just too wide and clunky compared to the other races. I would upgrade just so i could make a troll and ejoy how i look.


But the mechanics of the game would be the same.


I guess my feelings are, that since this isnt a server issue, its a client issue, no one will be forced to see anything they dont want. This solidly falls in the same camp as loading a custom UI. Changes the game in no way, only makes it more enjoyable for the person doing it.

Im real tempted, i am just worried about the bugs.

If you mean the view point of others regarding what's running on my client that they can't see and doesn't effect them at all yes you're right on the money.

I say we institute a don't ask don't tell policy since some people against Luclin graphics obviously can't respect others who want to try them.

This way nobody will ever know who sees/thinks what and we can all be happy, just like in the U.S. military. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is no policy against using the Luclin models that I am aware of. From my perusal of the forums, it's my understanding that while the devs do not like the Luclin models, they have not taken any effort to either enable to disable them.

As this method is entirely client side, doesn't use memory, packet, or client hacks, doesn't make use of any third party programs short of MS Word, and involved no effort from the devs themselves, I am not aware of any rules I have broken in posting this.

Devs, feel free to shut me up on this one, but I went to a lot of trouble to make sure I wasn't breaking any server rules before I posted this.

It's like gay marriage! If you don't believe in gay marriage, then don't get married to someone of your same sex!

What's funny is I was thinking basically the same thing earlier, and it reminded me I had brought up that same point about something in the past here, and it led to someone going off about how not banning gay marriage violates his freedom of religion, lolol
