What's great about EQ isn't that its a "traditional" roleplay game where people fake voices, never break character, etc...

EQ is a real rpg because over time you start to care about a fake world with real world emotions. These emotions in EQ are real, and they have a wide spectrum...hate, love, jealousy, pride, embarrassment, etc...

You start to think of your avatar AS yourself. You get used to people calling YOU another name, and respond to that name as though it were your real one.

You forget in the depths of playing your real world problems, and assume the challenges of your avatar in their place.

THESE are what makes EQ a REAL rpg...the voice faking stuff is just superficial.

I disagree completely. Just because I don't roleplay doesn't mean I don't have some kind of attachment to my character beyond "Polygons with lewt lolol." It's -my- character, and I still have an attachment to it beyond -your- perception that it's nothing but polygons without a roleplay element.

One, it is only my perception of it, hence the "I think" at the beginning. Two, there's always an exception to the rule. And three, having some kind of attachment and actually being your character instead of just playing it are two different things.

I used to be the RP guy who cared FAR too much about the game back in the day. These days not so much, I'm just here to have fun now. Maybe get some goodies along the way.

Either way do what you want I don't care. I just wanted to make sure to point out the subtle difference. And to quote Mr. Logan, "Be excellent to each other."

Wow there are some control freaks on this server.

Wow there are some people who can't be bothered to consider other viewpoints on this server.

I say we institute a don't ask don't tell policy since some people against Luclin graphics obviously can't respect others who want to try them.

This way nobody will ever know who sees/thinks what and we can all be happy, just like in the U.S. military. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is no policy against using the Luclin models that I am aware of. From my perusal of the forums, it's my understanding that while the devs do not like the Luclin models, they have not taken any effort to either enable to disable them.

As this method is entirely client side, doesn't use memory, packet, or client hacks, doesn't make use of any third party programs short of MS Word, and involved no effort from the devs themselves, I am not aware of any rules I have broken in posting this.

Devs, feel free to shut me up on this one, but I went to a lot of trouble to make sure I wasn't breaking any server rules before I posted this.

It's like gay marriage! If you don't believe in gay marriage, then don't get married to someone of your same sex!

What's funny is I was thinking basically the same thing earlier, and it reminded me I had brought up that same point about something in the past here, and it led to someone going off about how not banning gay marriage violates his freedom of religion, lolol

If you mean the view point of others regarding what's running on my client that they can't see and doesn't effect them at all yes you're right on the money.

Yeah, it just seems like... What's the harm? I don't really want Luclin graphics, but if you do... I feel sorry for you.
