Classic EQ and Luclin Models

First off, I did notice that the grand majority of users posting here are actually for Luclin graphics, which makes sense. Why would you bother looking for a thread about Luclin graphics if you were against them.... Unless you just really love looking for a fight.

Your premise made me curious so I counted the people for and against.


Against Luclin Graphics in the thread: 34
For: 11


What were you saying?

Shouldn't all casters be looking at their books while medding? When was this removed?

well forget that here is another question.

Why do half the mobs in the Everfrost starting area just stand still and not move? This isn't classic and yet I have been on other private servers that have this working. I would think this would be far more important to fix vs what someone sees on their own screen.

I never understood this sentiment. I ran into it for the first time about 4 years ago when I figured out that with some work, you could use the SoD client on p99 which would give you access to luclin models. The thread rapidly sank into a degenerate nerd-trash slapping match. It was funny for a while. Then I started getting tells in game.

Listen, I get it. We play, FOR FREE, on someone else's server. We play at their whim. Fine. What I don't get is all the nerd rage over this. The stuff about exploits is all semantic. Some of those exploits have been around for a decade and aren't any better or worse than the stuff you can exploit with the classic models.

Why do people get so worked up over something that has a miniscule to zero effect on anyone else's gameplay? No one reading this forum has any idea what models I am currently using. How I appear to you in game depends entirely on what you have loaded. So why the butt hurt?

On one hand I am not effected as I prefer the old models despite feet/ears/hands being blocky. However, if they go down this road those of us using UI's such as Duxa UI may very well be next. Keep that in mind.

In before "because it's not classic*!"


* what they really mean is "because it's not what the devs want." Everyone's idea of classic is different.

lol it was never actually a thing. I'm 99% certain that was only ever a rumor.

Originally you had to open spellbook, which left you unable to see anything except the book and chat, and press meditate button to meditate.

After a while (during Kunark? can't recall) it was changed so that you did not have to press the meditate button, anytime you had spellbook open you would meditate if you had the skill. And there was some rejoicing.

Next change (during Velious?) was that if you were level 35 or higher you did not have to open spellbook to meditate. And there was much rejoicing.

Eventually (Velious? Luclin? Pop?) they removed the spellbook requirement for all levels. And there was much snark about welfare and not having to pay dues.

Casters & Hybrids learned early that audio was important, nothing would make a L13 in Oasis stand up quicker than sound of a Sand Giant's heavy tread coming closer.

Spellbook medding also was a/the driving factor in the early development of the convention of "incoming" macros. It was pretty annoying to get whacked by surprise on a deliberate pull because rangerboy (or whoever) couldn't be bothered to mention in chat that mobs were incoming. Undead in particular had a nasty habit of jumping any sitting target they came close to pretty much regardless of other agro.

Another stupid post on this stupid subject. Luclin models are gone, get over it.

They aren't actually.
