I used them all. I barely lag, and I'm on 56k. :)

All now, since I finally got a new computer 6 months ago. I used to use none and still couldn't raid without staring at the floor all the time.

I usualy can have all on though I prefer to have ogre models off just so I can watch them scratch their butt once in a while. New model doesn't do that. =P

I have 6 male; 4 female; and horses Luclin Models activated.I am on dial up internet 50kbs.

4.5 years later and my new PC still sucks at having all luclin models turned on during raids. and its very bad in new zones with all those new textures.

I've always played with all the the models turned on. I still get bad lag in PoK on the old computer and it still takes a couple of minutes to zone. My new computer runs them with no problems.

And I don't think your connection speed has alot to do with the lag. I've played using dial-up, DSL and cable at one time or another with the old computer and never noticed any difference in the game play. It seems to me that your PC's hardware makes the biggest difference.

Ogres just don't look right with lucin models.. =/

On my desktop, at least, I have most models turned on, except for the Ogre and Trolls, I think, since I prefer the old looking ones.

The laptop, since it sucks, uses mostly old models, except for the necesary ones, and High elves. Maybe woodelves.

Not from models, anyway. The server is just telling you who is where and what they are doing. The act of actually drawing them is left up to your own hardware. Like I couple people noted, you can have all models on and connect at 56k if the graphics/memory/processor hardware is there. Likewise, you can have a Pentium II with 128megs and a GeForce2 sitting on a T3 line and you'll still choke like hell running through a populated area.

When I'm only running one instance of EQ on one computer all models are turned on. When running multiple sessions of EQ on one system only the ones that have to be turned on (for mounts) are on.

I don't like some of the Luclin Models. I don't like the Ogres, TRolls, or Iksars. REally there is nothing wrong with the Ogres or TRolls, I just like seeing ogres as fat somewhat funny looking creatures. As for the Iksars they took away the neat way Iksars swim with the Luclin models. The old model they have a graceful swimming pattern, with Luclin they look like everybody else movement wise. Also once again I think the older models is somewhat funny and the new ones are not.

Oh I don't care much for the new male halfling either once again over the humor area.

I use them all and dont have lag from them. I only really get my lag in POK with so many people about (and the bazaar). So I really don't think its from the models so much as it is my computer is getting ancient and I need to upgrade. Plus I like the luclin models better.
