The EQClassicHD team is: Cucumbers, PaulG, Sorn, and Zaela

EQClassicHD is an EverQuest retexturing project that features higher resolution textures for player characters.

Features:
· All player character related textures (armor, handheld items, weapons, faces) have been upscaled, retouched, or completely redone by Cucumbers, PaulG, and Sorn. Textures redone in the past by Nysus, Xevin, and Joyelle are also included.
· All player character textures have been converted to .dds to conserve space, memory, and allow for mipmaps.
· Various animation & epic particle fixes by Zaela.
· Transparency fixes pre-applied & minor Velious helmet visor tweaks.

Check out PaulG’s screenshot thread!

Visit our discord for technical help, bug reports, or to discuss tradeskills with Sorn.

We will develop a wiki page dedicated to the project and the work put into it.
