I just dont understand why people want to play with "updated" graphics. If you want updated graphics go play live. This is a classic server built on nostalgia. Play it like you played it in 1999 or gtfo. If you didnt play in 1999 and claim to not have started till post luclin and new models are all you know then im sorry, you missed the best part of the game and need to re-live it like how it was ment to be.

Some of us want to play for the mechanics and the people, not the graphics. I started playing pre-Kunark and played for 5 and a half years. There has never been another MMO that was as challenging as EQ1, period (except maybe EVE). The fact you can faceroll PvE most of these newer MMOs, talk smack and get away with is (remember EQ blacklists?) and die with almost 0 penalty gets on my nerves
Back in 1999 the graphics were great. These days, they're terrible. In fact, if what I'm reading is correct, SoE is writing EQ Next with the original mechanics, updated graphics and some of the extras present in newer MMOs.
You may like the original bad graphics, and are entitled to play with them. Some of us are not playing specifically because of those graphics. If a way to update the models is available then it's in everyone's benefit to allow it. The ability to choose will yield more players.
Unless, of course, you're one of the elitist players I try to hard to avoid and feel the need to dictate how others should play, sub or not
