All I know is in classic, the only people wearing plate armor were people wearing shin greeves or bronze.

Almost true!
There were a very few who bought the ridiculously expensive plate from vendors.

Although fine plate and cultural were announced together they were not released together. My half elf paladin smith (lol) on Tunare server made a fair bit of coin selling fine plate during the months before cultural came out, at which point I (temporarily) ragequit because no cutural could be made by half elfs.

I remember this distinctly too. Seeing someone in full purchased plate in the EC tunnel back in classic EQ was crazy, not just for fashion but also knowing how much money was sunk into that purchase.
IIRC it was a DE SK too, which made it just look damn cool.

Wait, I was a DE SK in full plate. Maybe I wasn't the only guy, what server were you on?

People used to run from me thinking I was a dragoon npc.
