Old Character Models

Pretty sure the forcing of client models was done very recently on their end, within 4 or 5 weeks ago. There is a thread with a percentage of the population not quite liking the forcing of Luclin graphics.

Oh, my mistake on there not being a way to do so, in that case. I haven't played on P99 in a few months, so I didn't realize they'd done this.

Not saying there is not a way. People may have figured it out. I just remembered reading that they had forced classic models.

They didn't really prevent anything -- they just kick the client if the GlobalLoad.txt is modified. Which just makes using luclin models slightly more inconvenient than it already was. Got a workaround floating around out there, works by shoving all the luclin models the user wants into one of the files that is in globalload.

Even the people who are in a position to force classic character models can't be bothered to actually do it. That's basically what it comes down to. Doesn't really matter!
