Luclin Models

[Reiker]

I fully support discriminating those who prefer Luclin models. That's like preferring Hinder to Led Zeppelin.

I know there are more folks out there that wouldn't mind at least having the option, speak up folks!

I like Led Zeppelin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
and some of the Luclin models [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i would stop playing if new models were enabled,
i would not personally use them but the idea that others would see me in that just breaks my heart.
old models just rule too much and we all know its all about the looks.

I really don't think you have even a faintly remote chance of getting Luclin models enabled on a classic server. You have to think of the public eye as well, when people think about coming back for nostalgia and they see screenshots you took with Luclin models enabled etc. The entire point of the server is to re-release EQ as close as possible to how was in 1999, which means no Luclin models!

I believe somebody is working on that actually.

I forgot that the old models had social animations.

You know the new models don't look right in old zones. # of polygons in the environment doesn't mesh with the new models.

I was going to go into more detail, but heck, all that would do is make someone feel like i'm threatening their life (don't want flames).

Some valid points, however, is it fair for people to say "I don't want Bob to see me looking like this?"

If each player can change the way the game appears to them, that should be their own personal preference. The argument that it changes the way YOU appear to THEM falls short of providing sufficient reason why they shouldn't be re-enabled.

Each player is entitled to play the game from their computer chair, doing so how they please. But if you start demanding other players receive an experience based on what YOU want, well, isn't that a little selfish?

I think people need to consider that for a moment. How much do you truly have the right to request? What you see on your screen? Sure, what I see on mine? I really don't think so, it's my screen, if I want to see luclin models I should be able to see them.

I'm truly failing to see the justification behind that as the reason, it's selfish and completely over-extending.

@ stormlord, I realize it's not completely blended. But I'll restate my earlier point. This change would leave the option up to the player. It would have ZERO affect on anyone else if they simply never turned the models on.

All we're talking about here is giving players the 'option' to turn on the models, most players probably won't, but I'm sure there are a good handful that would.
