| − | ==What is EQ Classic HD?==
| + | |
| − | EQ Classic HD is an ongoing project by Cucumbers, Paulgiamatti, Sorn, and Zaela to graphically enhance, upscale, retexture, and reimagine classic EverQuest. We primarily deal with textures, although our package does correct some minor model animation bugs and transparency issues.

| + | |
| − | [http://www.project1999.com/forums/member.php?u=3816 Cucumbers] founded the project in 2016 after being inspired by [[Players:Technical#Nysus.2FXevin_Custom_Character_Textures|Chebby (aka Psycher), Nysus, and Xevin's custom textures]]. He is the upscaling guru, and he has retextured a huge amount of stuff by hand, most notably various Kunark bladed weapons, shields, various classic weapons and held items, and some armor textures.

As well as being the author of various indispensable utilities such as EQGExport and WLD Editor Suite, his coding skills and deep knowledge of client-related technicalities have allowed us to include various transparency, particle, and model animation fixes.
