Luclin models...a poll

[Kyronix]

Back in high school I had an EQ wife... there were times. But she was also in her 40's so the High Elf was super hot in comparison

Luclin models make me want to die. Immediately.

Dark elf luclin graphic was probably the best of them all. But luclin graphics reminds me of luclin. And that is a no-no. Classic blocky graphics for characters reminds me of classic, and that's why i'm here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

what another player sees doesn't affect me one damned bit. I don't care if they use Luclin models or Classic. Heck, we have to manually turn off the newer pet models, so what's the big deal? There's an awful lot of vitriol in this thread over something that's not a huge issue.

She's hotter than reality by far. :-P

I am sorry, people can say it doesn't affect gameplay all they want, but it does! This is CLASSIC EVERQUEST! How can anyone justify using the graphic models from the era that most of feel is where our beloved game was ruined, is a good idea?

And if you ask me, anyone who can't get over it, it's their own problem and not anyone else's. You don't have to ever even know the models are there if you don't want to use them.

If you like Luclin's models. You should not be playing on this server.
Yes it is that simple. You are a hypocrite.
"I want the ugly new models that changed classic eq into modern eq".
"I also want item restrictions, global auctions, and pok books"
Yet I still want to play on a classic server?

This is the only Classic Everquest server. Why change it to be like ALL the other Everquest servers?
If you want luclin models go play on ANY other server. The people that like the luclin models are the same people that ruined the game. They cried to SoE for new graphics and more raids. Changing the game into something completely different.

This is just my opinion , but I am always right :P

It's hilarious how many people are getting bent out of shape over something they can't even see.

I fully disagree.

A) Luclin didn't ruin EQ... Yes, cats on the moon is a ridiculous premise, and the Bazaar and Nexus were the beginning of the end, but the rest of the expansion (new models, Alternate Advancement, raid content (Ssra, VT, etc) were very good.

B) Rampant instancing is what ruined EQ. EQ was wonderful through PoP (again, PoK books were a bad idea, but PoP raid progression is some of the best ever). However, after PoP, everything went instanced because SOE didn't like dealing with player disputes over raid targets, and decided to cater to the entitlement crowd (I want my raid target to be available whenever my guild wants to attempt it, wahhhh!). The plethora of instanced group and raid content was the final nail in the coffin that destroyed the community.

In summary, three things destroyed EQ: the Bazaar, Nexus Spires/PoK Books, and Instancing. Each of them acted to remove a reason for players to interact and chipped away at the overall community, which was the true lifeblood of EQ.

New player models didn't destroy EQ. Saying that anyone who likes new models shouldn't play on this server is pretty crappy, imho.


Personally, I'd love for someone to run a classic progression server that didn't stop at Velious, but instead continued to follow the normal expansion release cycle... However, leave out the Bazaar, nexus spires, PoK books, and change all instances to static zones (but leave the content the same). Now that would be a kick-ass server!
