Yeah, I was genuinely resentful the first time I logged in after installing Luclin. It was like literally everything I had hoped they wouldn't do when designing new character models. Game aesthetics are definitely important - I almost think if they hadn't royally fucked this up so badly, EQ might've been able to withstand competition from WoW, at least for awhile longer than it did.
Very glad that P99 exists and has taken a firm stance against Luclin models. They are truly, horrendously bad and totally not in The Vision™ or spirit of a Verant-run EverQuest. Something I'd like to see happen eventually is a completely fan-made rework of the classic models, retaining similar proportions while constructing an entirely new skeleton with better animations, textures, more polygons, etc.
