(1) Looks like they ruined Half-Elven women's cleavage. Bastards.

(2) Of course the Gnome models don't suck. If Gnomes sucked they'd be good for something.

(3) Anyone notice the fuckup in the High Elf pic?

(4) Is anyone else as excited about the potential new look for Neriak?

So why are they still afraid to show us the new iksar models? During all the time they've been showing screenshots, there has not yet been one showing what iksar are going to look like. What are they hiding? Are they so screwed up they don't want us to know, or are they so good they want to suprise us? I can't stand the suspense!

Since I'm not going to get SoL until at least Christmas, could someone take a screenshot of an iksar if they get it sooner? I know I'm not the only one who wants to know what the iksar are going to look like.

Ah, finally. Must have missed that one. Nice detail on the skin texture, but the shape of the head doesn't quite look right. Wonder what the female iksars look like? Haven't seen a shot of one, but maybe I just missed that one too. If anyone knows where this is one, post a link to it here.

There was a halfing female released, but no one seems to remember that

The people look chunky because of the new layer-over-layer thing. You know how when you change armor in EQ now, it just changes the current skin? The new armors add another layer OVER the current one. The reason why they look fat, (I'm guessing) is because the belts are showing. And those are some bigass belts. (Looks like freaking WWF belts Example: http://www.eqloft.com/encyclopedie/luclin/images/luclin103.html )

They went and made the Trolls and Ogres look more human-shaped. This ensures that I can never play EQ again. I liked my Ogress when she was wider than she was tall.

Check out the box art for the original EverQuest. That's the way they were originally intended.

Here's some stuff wrong with the new models:

1.) The hands are to big and stubby
2.) Everyone's breasts are HUGE
3.) Everyone's hips are HUGE
4.) Everyone has the "horse face" effect that happens when people try to make eyeballs. A similar effect is achieved in the PS 2 version of Half-Life.
5.) Excuse me, but a chest plate doesn't stick out THAT FAR.
6.) That iksar looks fat!!

ok, now i know you people are gona blast me for this:

the Armors are actuly REAL life Armor!

yes, Belts SHOUD be over size like that (always a good idea to keep guts in ones belly)

i have a 1/2 elf male druid, Tank god i have wolf form!

my Barbarien female will look like a giant Babe, but i wonder about the plate, dint see the model in amror yet.

Ogres look more like they Shoud if you ask me, big ugly humains ... but i bet he can still swallow a dwarf in one shot.

Dwarf male are... some how... not right

Troll Look so much more Mytic ... a bit more funny.

i like to say that humain males look like thugs from a bar fight.

i like to say that, the most of the changed was done on females ...

but all in all, looks great, Soemthing new to look forward to =D

Just got this from whineplay:

If you were wondering about the excessive cleavage on the recent female models, there's no worries. We've been working on it, and that much polygons might hog performance a bit too much.

In any case, I've a surprise for you all. Indeed, cleavage size is going to be player-choosable. Values are ranging from A to C-cup, but we're hesitating implementing the Full-D size, due to aestethic, but mostly performance reasons.

Actually, the breasts only seem that huge due to the fact that all the screenies are ZOOMED THE HELL IN! Think about it. Look at a human female's current model breasts, from the SIDE, you'll notice they're not just pointy. Now move around to the front of her and look at the texture of the boobage. They were SUPPOSED to be big from the beginning! Only change they made, was now the polygons match the textures.

All in all, I can't WAIT for Luclin!!

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?
