awesome ideea wit hthe FAQ
also i will answer this question again: why we need 3D
Players whanted more diversity, like new hair stypes, new clowting, new races etc but the probplem was that for every race, for every clowth, for every hair stype we needed to do a lot of 2D spites for all animations, all weapons, all directions and to do that again with all armors
so for example, the use animation is, let's say 10 spites, there are 6 directions and 5 playeble armors(6 if you add CAmrk2) so that is allready 300-360 spites for 1 caracter, and i didn't added take on the floor(10spitesx6armors=60) the idle animation(10 spites x6 armors=60) and all the weapon animations( 6 types x (5 shot+ 10 iddle+ 5 doge) +5 melle x(5 trust+5swing+10 iddle) +10 trow nade+ 10 trow knife+10 trow spear=120+100+30=250) and running(10) is in total 360+120+250+10= allmoast 750 spites for 1 haircut, all done manualy
so 3D gives us a lot of freedon and alows us to save memory space, i mean the longhairdude is 20,9 MB, so imagine how it is if we stay with 2D
i personaly prefere 2D, but 3D will allow us more freedom on caracter creation that is all we need, 3D enviroment will not be implemented on 2238 server cuz is not neccesary
other thing: we do not make HQ models and textures cuz Lag will occur, that is why we are so ergonomic with the models
