    Just curious as to why Shar Vahl looks so different from the first EverQuest. Is there a lore piece somewhere that explains it? Is it the same city, or was it rebuilt? It looks beautiful, don't get me wrong. The Nexus and ShadowHaven look almost the same to the EQ1 version (with updated graphics). I understand some of the changes regarding Luclin's destruction and reassembly, but not all.

    There's no in-game explanation. A lot could have happened in the 450 or so years where Luclin was cut off from Norrath before it was destroyed.

    Sanctus Seru doesn't match its EQ1 design either. EQ1 split the even-leveled city into four quadrants of equal size.

    Vah Shir spent all their money on infrastructure and none of it on stylists. Which also explains why their appearances looked so..... different.

    They really need sunglasses, the eyes are freaky.

    LOL! Yeah, I was wondering about that... ;->

    At least my grain-gold lion dude with the sky-blue eyes looks...sorta okay, though the gal I'd made with brown eyes just looks really surprised, like a Tex Avery cartoon character. :-/
