I think from what I've evaluated is that a feature like this is something that needs more work and implimentation for it to be successful. I like the Soga models but I also completly understand with people that don't want their character portrayed as that. Even though I know it would be a hard thing to do, instead of going the upgraded-eq-1- models method, why could they not spend more time and make it so however the person customizes their character thats what you see. What would be cool in my opinion is to have both models exist in the game and you are only represented by one model. The problem though I heard is these models are more hardware sensitive. Couldn't they add low res textures on these also. What I really think the problem is that this is a great feature that is not being executed well to the public. The problem your going to see on some people is that they like their old models and they probablly won't customize their soga models cause they know how they look and that soga is not what they look like. What would be nice to see is 26 extra models co existing perfectly with the 32 models already in the game. That right there is most cetainly diversification. I mean if I want to look cartoon anime like then I should have the dang right too. I don't want some of the people to pick certain races looking soga and as a result seeing a few people as they don't intend to look. Thats silly. What I would like to see is a old barbarian model and a soga barbarian standing next to each other in combat fighting some creep. Because of not having that option you get the goofy eq 1 echoes of my guy looking like the dang shady swashbuckler in the commonlands tunnel. All I really want him to look like was the new human model I setup. But I can't because some guy didn't like how the new human model looked...But really with eq 1 in that situation I was a bit understanding because the new models were clearly much more hardware intense. If they "could" make these soga models have low res texturing built in so they don't bog down machines just as the current models have and simply add them as seperate files that the person associates that model file with then wouldn't everyone be happy? I mean if you want to bash soga model characters then really isn't that just abuse then?
