is it just me or does that night elf look worse than the EQ models? Or maybe im spoiled by FFO's models =).

Maybe that particular NE has downs syndrome?

tanuvyen · 11-21-2003, 10:40 AM

Darkmyst · 11-21-2003, 10:40 AM

Damn I think ears like that should come with an inante flying skill.

The ears (horns?) need an overhaul, BADLY. The rest isn't too bad, but dear god, you can poke someone's brain... er... eye out with that.

I'm pretty sure I read that the ear size is customizable. Also it is only alpha still, looks fine to me.

they look okie but i agree the ears are a bit much, they should be large but not huge

Who cares...the female behind the elf is the win ;p

Looks like Goatman to me

FF XI elves look WAY better.

To be honest I'm not looking that foward to WoW.

But everyone I've talked to that has seen this game played live will tell you Screenshots do it no justice whatsoever.

Apparantly a big part of the problem with screenshots is that it takes screens while 'in action'. And the real treat with the character models is they use a kind of liquid animation where they're always moving in the way a real human does.

Take it for what you will, but that comes from multiple sources who all say the graphics are going to 'blow people away'.
