Am I the only one that actually LOVES that classic UI. Shit is just so fucking classic it is awesome.

There are many of us who never used the Luclin models in the first place. Here we can observe those who did clawing desperately at the final strategies to get their non-classic aesthetic pleasures back. It's quite interesting to read.

Honestly I don't care what graphics people prefer, but I can say that if I was FORCED to use Luclin models, me and 90% (maybe more?) of the community would scream non-classic and the servers integrity would be in question. But since we are forced to NOT use Luclin models, it is very few who do complain about it. Hard to win an argument supporting Luclin models with that thought process. It is simply not classic to have Luclin models on. There is no debate.

So although I feel general sympathy for those who have a different gaming experience, and I wouldn't really mind if they found a way to fix it for individuals, I'm glad the models have been removed from the general public, in order to further progress this CLASSIC server's classic environment.

That's debatable.

Considering the forums can't even agree on what "classic" means, yes, yes it is.

@Thiefboy: apparently the different models also allowed for some kind of geometry exploits or something.

As you don't run the server, no it isn't. Why are people failing to grasp this?

Once again, the goal of this server was always to recreate classic EQ - warts and all. If that doesn't work for you or anyone, there are other alternatives cropping up that I'm sure will provide a more suitable experience for you. I say that completely free of snark or sarcasm, choice is good. Make use of it.

I never used Luclin models on p99, but I still can't understand why it bothers some people what the game looks like on someone else's screen.

I hadn't switched to luclin models yet (I hate the ogres/trolls from Luclin) but I was tempted to for my wood elf just so I could see a damn drum on my bard instead of the dopey stick.

Edit: Wow, just tried the workaround, took one look at the luclin models and went right back. Nice to be able to change hair separately from face and all, but not worth the horrid bodies and armor appearance.

Clearly we just need to implement SOGA models [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Here is what I never understood about Luclin models in a game that contains only the Old World and Kunark/Velious:

The STARK contrast between landscape, monsters, and this new-gen hyper-detailed character running through it.

It's like painting a hot pink square on the driver side door of a blue Mustang. Sure, I get it, you like the color pink. It just looks out of place.

Apparently the old saying holds true:
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."

I absolutely cannot stand the ogre and troll classic models. It was one of the main reasons when I started a SK I would never choose either race, despite their bonuses. Classic models aesthetics in general are horrible to me personally.

But despite that, there is no other game that comes close to what I want in a MMORPG than what we have here. I'll take classic models over no classic EQ.
