Nice. I'll probably load these for my wife. Maybe she'll play more often instead of just making comments about how all the female toons look stoopid. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why do you honestly care? You will never know which client I am using, and you will not have any clue that I am using the Luclin models. This does not involve any work from the Devs, it doesn't detract from any other projects they are working on, it's entirely client side, and doesn't intrude on you in any way, shape, or form.

So why do you care?
For the same reason that a lot of people like Nickleback but I'd take any opportunity I had to permanently remove them from the planet.

Two reasons:

1. Back in the day, one of the features of EQ was that it was a persistent shared world. The world had its own integrity regardless of which, if any players were there. Mobs spawned, the day night cycle continued, etc etc. Any player that went to any particular area of the game world would see the same thing (including other players). When different players are using different character models, then that takes a little bit away from the shared experience. Suddenly, all the players in a given area aren't seeing the same thing anymore.

2. I take a sense of ownership in my avatar, as I believe most players do. I want everyone that I interact with to see my avatar looking the way I chose to make him look. For instance, maybe I choose the salt and pepper (well red pepper anyway) bearded barbarian and want to role play myself as the gritty veteran who's past his prime, but you have luclin models on and I look like a 28 yr old clean shaven musclehead with a pony-tail. Certainly not everyone, but a lot of us want this principle observed.

As I posted in the other thread, if luclin models ever appear on this server, I would love it if there was a way for all models to be enabled and displayed based on the choice of the player whose avatar is on screen, not the choice of the person running the client. However, that is more of a philosophical position as the coding obstacles are almost certainly too high to justify the effort.

I hear you Dumesh, and that's why I personally would want to go with whatever the majority were using at any particular time. However, how do you reconcile your position with how it was on Live, when post-Luclin people always had the choice to enable/disable Luclin models? You never really knew for sure what people were seeing when they looked at you.

There's also a thread about how to update the world textures, so I'm curious about your views on this as well. If you want everyone to have the same visual experience (and I agree to a large degree), then what's the threshold? Should they all see the same world textures as well?

I can't believe people care what models other people use.

I hate the Luclin models, but I want to activate them just to spite the people who have a problem with them. Well, except that they would never have any clue I'm using the Luclin models so it would be just as pointless as caring what models people use.

I just had to hate it. Ultimately the game was still worth playing, but that feature did diminish my enjoyment somwwhat.
