Original armor textures

[Poeskas]

I doubt this is a repost, but sorry if it is.

Is there any way to restore the original character models, do they still exist? Some may remember that when luclin launched, sony not only implemented the luclin character models, but also modified the appearance of the original character textures (i.e. half-elven plate helms lost their "visor", and some of the artistic features of other armor changed as well - particularly plate).

My question is, do these textures still exist? Is there a way to modify or remove certain files to opt-in to using these textures? and to devs: have you any prospect of restoring them in the future?
