Luclin Models Blocked

[Faxi]

I just think... well theres gonna be "custom content" in P1999 which impacts EVERYONE and is obviously NOT classic. and i dont hear any of the opposition complaining about that.

So why cant Luclin models remain for those that like them? Cant they just be considered harmless custom content?

Because the server is basically dead at the point any possible classic content comes out. Plus there will be alternative P99 classic progression servers before the custom content happens in all likelihood.

Don't agree with this. If someoen wnats to hack the client to show luclin models, why not? I don't like them, but so what. And I do understand the argument some us that if they select to look like the old model then that's the way others should see them. For example, if one of the reasons you select the half elf is because of how the old model looks then if someone uses the luclin models your choice will not reflect on them. It'd be like if I selected a human because I want others to see me that way, but then someone changes the race tables so that humans look like elves. However, trying to GUARANTEE others see you as you selected is futile.

I do think a large part of MMORPGs is the social element of your visual appearance. I do think a lot of players change how they look based on the notion others will see what they change and it'll look the same.

I just don't htink guaranteeing this is worth it. It's always kind of hostile.

what kind of twisted individual plays on a server with beautiful classic models as default then jerry-rigs their shit to look fucking terrible

that's like buying a maseratti and swapping in a PT cruiser engine

We live in a world with chubby chasers and people who get off by being vomited on and you need to question preferences about polygons?

Yeah but female Dark Elves and Wood Elves look better as luclin models. Everything else is ass.

I agree. A female Dark Elf Melee is hot looking with plate stuff. So is a Female Heffer. I think the Ogre, Troll look stupid in the Luclin models. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

3 Pages and not one answer to the OP's question. - This thread is classic.

I was told that in Velious, the Devs will be blocking any use of the Luclin player models - during the livestream announcement it was stated. Is this true?

Before you bombard this thread with the usual not-classic replies, please just reflect that this doesnt effect anyone else but the user themselves; its for my own personal enjoyment and it has zero gameplay advantages or impact on other players like in-game maps and the other 3rd party apps that players use frequently. It seems like such a small insignificant thing and sucks because I've been enjoying a mix of both classic and luclin models and actually created characters partially based on using luclin models.

So could we just get confirmation on this? I guess i feel like i know the answer already. in any case thanks very very much for this server. i enjoyed it alot.

On the stream it was said that Nilbog would force Classic models if he could . This is from the same man that wishes he could make us use the classic UI.

As has been said over and over, the goal of the project is the classic feel, not literally emulating what was Live EQ. I don't have a dissertation on why he would like to make the changes, but if the same man that brought so many amazing elements to the server wanted to make that change, I would let him.

Luclin model hate is brought on by ignorant, basement dwelling, plebians.

Removing player choices are never good for a gaming community. I don't care if it's private or not. You can't get all hyped about having
1,xxx people playing your server and at the same time tell them they all they have to wear yellow jackets. you'll lose players.

The goal of the server is to create a replica of classic EQ not gain the most number of players.
