PS. And Luclin was best expansion ever =P They finally got rid of those but ugly last century models

You might be the only person I've ever seen that liked the Luclin graphics. They were/are terrible!

I only know a hand full of people who like pre-L models =P
They simply obsolite =P
And yes I played from 1999 too, and old graphics has always been EQ weakest point back in a day. Unreal Tournament which was released in 97 had better models. EQ1 HAD to be made which such crappy models because it was the only way to get around insane Video/CPU/Ram requirement to display 20-50 such models on the screen at once. Once better hardware become available to players they immediately took steps to improve the graphics. You can see a steady pattern- how much Kunark zones and texture is a massive improvement over old world, the velious is about same as kunark, and finally Luclin is a significant giant step forward. The next big upgrade was with GoD+ zones, they finally did away with rectangular hill edges and bulky square zone layouts.

Personally the only new models I really don't like are those made with DoDH expansion - the new orcs and werewolves have ULTRA cartonish - ala warcraft look.

Perhaps you are trolling, if so, I bit. Most everyone I know hate Luclin models. An attempt at more realism plus a long stick shoved in the ass != better.
