Old character models is how it was for many years and
I hope they never add the choice to show updated models
otherwise whats the point of close to vanilla if people want updated models

You know it’s a lot easier to put retail models into classic than it is to do the opposite, right?

There are a lot more models in retail now that did not exist in vanilla. There are more animations that did not exist in vanilla.

It isnt any easier.

With the removal of old models and animations in modern wow there are less than you seem to think (new skins do not equal new models) yet for some reason people want the the glitch and conflict ridden new models and animations in classic.

34

Fairly sure, that back when the Classic Forums opened up, there was a discussion about Old vs New models, and someone had pointed out that Blizzard was looking to hire someone to recreate the old Skeletons and Models, so i’m pretty sure we are getting Old Models

I think you may have misunderstood what I was getting at.

I don’t really care about the graphics. I can appreciate the old graphics or play Classic with the new ones.

As much as I would like to have the view distance increased, it won’t work for Classic. The game was designed with a set view distance in mind.

You clearly didn’t play vanilla did you. If you had, you wouldn’t want new models in it

39

Don’t be pretentious with your ahem.
You didn’t play vanilla and therefore you have no right to comment on how it could be made better.

3 months!!! WOW. That must have been a LONG vacation!

41

I think the only major technical issue is forcing Blizzard to make new animations for both old and new models for each race.

If the purists insist that all new models should be omitted from the game, then it wouldn’t be all that hard for TOS violating hacks to do the same job.

All models share animation names, so I couldn’t imagine there being any trouble.

42

If I play wow with everyone looking like Mr Hanky, I don’t see how that effects anyone else

43

The graphics can stay the same, but I prefer the new character models.

44

I started playing a month after release in 2004, and I wouldn’t mind having options if they were made available.
