There were a shitload of people in 99 who had no idea that EQ1 wasn't exclusively "first person". It didn't detract much then, other than hearing a person say "I'm going to the select screen so I can see this new piece of armor."
Yeah, people "Like" customizing their look. But no fantasy gamer buys MMO's with that as a major factor. It's absolutely trivial. Just ask WoW and Vanguard/EQ2, who couldn't be more of a contrast to each other in graphics---and population.
The game will live and die on it's mechanics. That's definitely what they're banking on as well. Dumar will be along shortly to explain how they need to make this game. You all better pay attention, he'll be testing you on it the next 18 months.
