EQ2: A Look at Alternate Appearances

In order to broaden the appeal of EverQuest II with players in Asia, the SOGA team wanted to change some of the player character models to a different artistic style. The SOGA team decided which models they wanted to re-envision.

The alternate models were not designed as replacement models for the original game. Think of them more as an optional add-on designed by our partners that we're also offering to our players. In the Options menu, there is a tab labeled Alternate Models. This allows you to choose which races and genders of the alternate models you would like to see.

The SOGA team created new models for Erudites, Humans, Barbarians, Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, High Elves, Half Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, and Ogres.

Just as you can decide which models you prefer to see on your screen, other players can enable or disable alternate models as they see fit. If you play a male High Elf wizard with the alternate model for your race and gender enabled, you will see your character in alternate form. If other players decide to use the original High Elf male model, they will see your character in the original model on their screens.

You can set an alternate appearance for each of your characters on the character select screen. Changing the alternate appearance will not affect the customizations already saved for the original models; all characters will have separate original and alternate appearances saved. This allows you to determine how your characters appear to players who prefer to use the alternate models.
