Classic EQ and Luclin Models

[FlipisWin]

The luclin graphics being smooshed sucked yea, but I might have been able to adapt. But what I can't adapt to is the community. Good luck keeping a server going when you treat people who recently joined like pure shit. Why in the hell any new player would stay after being treated the way you guys do is beyond me. And the sad part is you people are easily 25-35 years old.
But since its the closest thing to old school EQ mechanics, the server will remain fine. It's the classic mechanics keeping ppl here, NOT CLASSIC, noone gives a fuck about pure classic, not even you "shits not classic" elitist. Not a single person in p99 is playing "totally classic". If people on red are exploiting, who gives a shit. If you play p99 for the pvp you are a fucking idiot. I understand the vision is to be close to classic as possible. And the game at its core is classic, if my models that I alone see are causing this much trouble for everyone else, then there is clearly a way bigger problem at hand

2009 here! If you like the Luclin models that's fine; I don't use em but folks who do don't particularly bother me. On the other hand, anyone who elects to participate on a self-styled classic EQ server ought to accept that non-classic features might disappear at any given time. I wouldn't much like it if the Velious UI were enforced on us (remember Velious had its own interface), but I'm prepared to accept it should that day ever arrive.

The old UI wouldn't look right at 1080p. It was designed for people running the game at 640x480. It would have to be scalable.

lol, the forum smart-asses are not the poison that tears at the guts of this community. If you can't stand a little bit of snarky "hey dude, this is what we're doing for recreation here, nobody's getting hurt and we're really not interested in your desire to walk in and tell us how we should change it" then you're gonna have an awful lot of disappointments in your life.

For those complainers... sometimes there is a nice way to say something "negative" about things that are GIVEN to you and if so, it should be said 0 to 1 times. To get up on your high horse, repeating and arguing and lawyering is at BEST obnoxious. This thing doesn't belong to you, stop acting like it does. We're DAMNED lucky it is here. If everything isn't ideal for you, just overlook it if you can, or go away if you can't. Stop uselessly (yes uselessly) dragging down the atmosphere for those that choose to enjoy it.

Disregard. I got confused by the "Join Date" of posts and mistook them for "Post Date". Apparently there's no way to change the globaload.txt or load Luclin Graphics.

OP has been here a whopping 2 months I'm sure he knows what is best. You should email Rogean and Nilbog and tell them your ideas.

So, I went ahead and read this entire thread.... Which is full of very passionate posts. And, since I have an opinion, figured I'd throw it out there, and someone will be willing to rage all over it. I won't read your rage. So have fun.

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.

Second, I'd like to point out that there is one person who can see you screen. I don't know what your graphics look like. Ergo, I don't care what your grahpics look like. If someone found a way to make EQ look like My Little Pony, I don't care. (I'm lying, if you find a way to make EQ look like MLP please post it so I can do that.... that would be freaking awesome.....)

Many companies rage over mods that change the gameplay experience but that is becoming much less common because if you are raging about someone one else's experience then you are spending way too little time in your own life and way too much in other peoples lives. None of my (or anyone else's) decisions or preferences effect you or your own experience in any way shape or form.

The only real effect would be people complaining to the devs that a "player made solution" was not working properly. This, unfortunately, happens alot. The devs work really hard to keep this going and we don't have to pay anything, so we shouldn't really expect anything from them. So quit raging that the devs don't include something.

On that same note, if you are hating on someone who is looking for a different experience. Keep in mind that this IS NOT CLASSIC EQ and any interface that someone chooses to go with WILL NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AT ALL.

All that said, everyone please quit raging. I'm assuming everyone interested in this is about the age of 30ish by now so lets try and be mature about this and maybe we can find a decent solution to make everyone happy and enjoy an experience similar to what we were looking for in this awesome, ongoing project.

You just wrote an essay which included caps lock, who's raging now kid
