Then they came for our Sea Dragon Meat

..and I didn't give a fuck because it wasn't classic.

Here is a developer's reply.

How about we start banning for hacking models, maps, because they can be altered to give an unfair advantage?

Do you think enforcing models revolved around someone "liking luclin better"???

You don't like classic models? They are in the spirit of the server. Sorry.

You wanna blame someone for it going in, when there are plenty of things to work on?

Red Server is over there. ====>

The whining is enough to make me push disabling the mouse scroll wheel next patch.

Get over it. You want luclin models? EQLive is F2P. Go whine there.

..... boy, I am sassy today. Heh.

Meaning no disrespect Haynar, your work is appreciated.

However, I wasn't whining, but asking a legitimate question:

"If you are going to add custom content later (after Velious) in the "spirit of EQ," how is that classic? And how is that different than allowing Luclin graphics? How would the Luclin graphics ruin the spirit of EQ as a suggested "custom content," where as a new zone/item/monster would not?"

My entire OP was questioning how you determine what is classic and what is not? I was using Luclin models as a base example of something that is not classic, but really does not diminish the spirit of classic EQ.

In addition, development has also stated they would be adding "custom content" after Velious in the form of zones and such. Which leads me to my original inquiry, "How is adding custom content never seen in EQ 1999 - 2001 live deemed "classic and in the spirit of the server," but character alternate models which are part of the original client are not?"

Some devs were posing it as a possibility for using the additional assets available within the Titanium client (i.e. something for them to do after the project is complete). There is nothing set in stone about custom content actually becoming available. Even if it did become available, it would be 3-5 years down the line after they had a complete package of time line appropriate patches to auto-run a full server from opening -> end of Velious.

Don't be expecting custom zones by the end of Summer 2016 (end of Velious, start of Luclin per timeline).

My vision for a custom server would be a separate server. I'd like p99 pve server, or any future incarnations of it to remain as classic as possible.
