New character models for EverQuest is a huge undertaking. Each PC model has roughly a hundred animations that would all have to be redone, all armor sets and clothing would have to be redone, tons of weapons would have to be redone. It's not as simple as making a new model and plugging it into the game.
If we do begin the process of redoing character models it would outside of expansion work, meaning expansions would still be created and released while model work was going on.

Thanks folks and happy hunting.


I believe Smedley replied to someone at the summit when asked why SOE doesn't cancel OoW and do the models first. Something to the fact that OoW was to far along to cancel, but they would be addressing it before the next expansion in some form.. this was after promising to have them by years end.

So forgive me if we read to much into the statement. Because now it seems that you are saying you are not even sure they will *ever* be new player models. When the rest of the community was told there would be.

I appreciate you stopping by. It's good to know that your still got your finger on the pulse.
