I am really excited by the graphics quality of EQ2 and very reassured by the art. It looks like the "A" team of artists has been working on this. After the disappointment of the character models in the Luclin expansion with the strange, muscle bound, no-neck elves, etc. I feel reassured that the quality of character models in the original EQ (given the constraints of its time) has been restored.
Kudos!

I think Verant would have learned from the "upgrade" in Luclin female representation. Though I know that some people are happy with the enhancement to women, I won't be satisfied until I see male characters in string thong bikini battle gear.

I'd seen these screens at caster's realm before and I'd always assumed thae the pic labeled 'wood elf' was a High Elf instead. She's pale and pasty more than the brown of the wood elves.

Also, given that EQ1's symbol is Firiona, and EQ2 happens in the future, I figgured it was her daughter.

Of course if this is the 'modest' attire of High Elves, I can't imagine what the Wood and Dark elves run around in.

I keep hearing a lot of people (so far all guys) saying all these men are behind the modeling.. which could very well be true. But who's to say females don't want to look sexy? So yas know, I am a female in RL and I'm not really intrested in playing an ugly or boring female... lol. I think the woodelf chick looks gorgeous! I'd love play an avatar such as her and would have personally modeled an outfit that beautiful. =) Also, I am happily engaged and am not out looking to score guys. I just enjoy the female body, too. Besides, for more modest women, they can always decide not to wear armor that revealing or not have as appealing of a body shape when they create their character. =) Hehe, just had to throw in one female opinion.

As another female EQ player, I agree that I'd much rather play an attractive character than an ugly one. However, if cutomization is what it seems likely to be, we should have the option to make less attractive avatars as well. :)

Like wood elf females aren't hit on now... and I have been saying that verant coders were some lonely men since the Luclin models.

High Elves.....

what are you talking about, after seeing the screen shots, i am not about to buy this game.. The one 'befallen monster' scared the hell outta me (dam cable modem poped him up fullscreen in about 1 / 10th of a second), if i had to face down some of the trains that get pulled on me now with those graphics, i would have nightmayers for a month... TOO Much of a good thing.. may be i will buy it just to scare myself with...

Well looks like Verant expects us to fork out another $50 for more eye candy, and most likely another computer upgrade. I'll play EQ till they fix the problems instead of making another expansion to suck money out of your wallet.
Very sad when they announce that they will address the known in game problems, but they are concentrating on other things at this time.
Also, does anyone know if our existing EQ characters will be transferrable to EQ2 or not. I'd rather quit than re-equip and level up another character.

Hail and well met!

/agree

However, I do believe that the EQ2 Development Team is SEPARATE from EQ1 and that they are addressing EQ1 issues. And NO you are not able to transfer characters from EQ1 to EQ2. The reason: It's in the future a couple hundred years, and would seriously unbalance the game to have a bunch of veterans running around the future Norrath. :)

Read the http://everquest2.station.sony.com info on the game for more.

I have to admit the graphics are stunning!

Depending on which "belief" you follow, even 1000's of years mean nothing to elves :) it would just be everyone else that would be out of luck, hehe.
