I actually think it is really cool that there are armor and items people seek for the sole purpose of having a particular style or look that is hard to obtain or unique. Allowing customization eliminates some of that appeal and a pursuit in game to get unique appearance items

There's such a tension in this project between a fanatical desire to "only do classic", and the basic reality that Everquest was never, not in any era, a finished project.
Classic more or less ends with Brad McQuaid right? For instance, if McQuaid had stuck around stuff like Paludal Caverns, The Nexus, or The Bazaar would never have happened, and that's why we don't have them here. But at the same time even if McQuaid had stuck around, he never would have blocked a graphics bug fix ... so why is that "un-classic" (except in the most literal sense)? In other words, there's a gray area: stuff that's classic by nature, but not by timeline. It's exactly this sort of stuff that I really, really hope makes it in to the Classic+ server (ie. Blue post-Green). Because, no matter what version of classic you picture, there's no version that was a perfect stopping point, and so to me adding "gray area" stuff (post-Green) is really "more classic than (just) classic".

It's not classic so no, after all you're all about CLASSIC isn't that correct?

To everyone saying "not classic": the devs have already said that there might be custom content someday on Blue after Green is released. If it even happens it won't be for years, but when it does we'll have two servers: Green (more classic than the current Blue) and Blue (classic + custom dev content).
A key part of this whole idea is, if Blue gets custom content years from now ... after we get a truly classic server ... wouldn't a 100% optional graphics improvement (that's not Luclin graphics) make sense for the classic+ server?

I don't feel this was a good play by Rygar. Whom has showed in the past that he wants classic 'bugs' fixed to a T. Yet here he is request a non classic feature.
More thought should go into this than yes/no & Rygar's decision to post this should be a factor in this decision. To people who want to hound me about flaming. I'm just stating the facts & your feelings are irrelevant to facts. Not classic at the moment, maybe on a new server that offers custom classic. --- edit: People can edit textures locally as-is [example]. Whats the difference other than ease of access.
