This is something I've been vaguely curious about.
We've heard that Clans will look angelic in SL, and that OT employees will take on a demonic appearance.
But what will the Neutrals appear to be?
Cz, can you reveal this snippet of info to us?
Shadowlands: What will Neutrals look like?

I have a sneaky su****ion (with all the black & white talk) that they're going to be lazy and not let neutrals enter the Shadowlands.
With black and white there will inevitably be zones of grey. Which is where the Neutrals come into the picture.
(Besides, I doubt FC will effectively block a part of their playerbase - those 5-10% who play Neutrals - from having any reason to buy the SL expansion pack.)

pfffff!!!! I wouldn't put anything past funcom after this you have to buy the client and booster and you dont even get the free month added to your account business going on.
Anyway, whatup with us omni's looking demonic and the clanners looking angelic. Everyone knows the dirty clanners are evil and serving Omni-Tek is as close you can get to heaven.
Omni-Tek is your friend.

Maybe I just missed it, but I never actually saw FC say that Omnis will Demonic and Clans will be Angelic.....just that your appearance is based on merits. All the talk about that Ive seen so far seems to have come from second hand sources like computer gaming sites and people on the forums that may have skewed the story(forum people would NEVER do that ^_-). What if the way your appearance is decided is based on what you do? Like how many NPC guards you killed or your PvP title. Anyway, its just a thought. All Omnis may be demons anyway ^_^.
Omni-Tek isn't -my- friend.
As for appearing angelic/demonic, IGN.com got that info from FunCom..
That article, at least, states that OT employees will be demonic in appearance, while Clanners will be angelic.

You find out tomorrow that your company does genetic experiments on human babies and uses the corpses to feed guard dogs at the CEO's house. You further find out they are sending money to hate related organizations.
Mind you, you had no idea about all of this when you were hired and it took two years before this was all revealed to you. But, eventually the truth about your company was made known to you. You are offered a fantastic bonus package to continue working.
You don't quit and continue to work for the company.
How would you expect to look?
Would you care?
Neutrals will be invisible, of course, just like now.

It wouldn't suprise me if what really happens is that whatever faction you belong to appears as angels and all other factions appear as demons.
AS for IGN, I would not trust then getting it right. The reporter who was assigned probably didn't have much time to construct the story and no time to verify their details.
Wouldn't it be funny if this were a typical FunCom way to reduce lag? Reduce the available amount of different character models to, oh lets say, 2?
Just being kind of comical here. But, that has been FunCom's way of handling programming issues in the past.
'Hmmm .... so much lag in Tir and NL. We can't seem to cache the textures properly'
'Eureka!! We reduce the number of textures to two. Angel and Devil'
Hehe.
Can you see the marketing hype? 'Less lag in Shadowlands'
I ended up invisible when I went into the fixer grid the other day. was cool for a sec, then annoying (have you ever tried getting round the fixer grid, to an exit on the 7 floor, when you cant see yourself? heheh not fun, Though I realise now I should probably just have gone into 1st person hehehe)Originally posted by Kiryat-Dharin

My best guess is that the neuters will look something like the common conception of a ghost today, with neither a devilish or heavenly aspect to them.

I'm just an ass that happens to be smart.
I think neutrals (with one exception I won't name here) should look angelic, and both clan and omni demonic.

It's already been stated that Neutrals will become a sort of white disk with concentric red rings painted on it. Sort of target shaped.
But no no- I think neutrals will look exactly the way they do now, but sort of transparent. A big finger to the neutrals, once again!
k- This message has been reviewed by intrusive goons searching for "evil-doers".
But which finger? Thumb or the middle finger?

Bump again. No FC staff wanting to answer this?

and ign is obviously the leading source on AO knowledge*sarcasm off*. The guy writing the article obviously had no clue about anything in ao considering he reffered to wrangleable as 'wargleable'. If IGN could determine the difference between their own heads and toes i might listen to the article. They are even more incomptent than the gamespy people.

You're implying then that Funcom was essentially misquoted by IGN, and there will be no Good-vs-Evil contrast between Omni-Tek and Clans in ShadowLand?
It's not likely.
Even Gaute has confirmed this in his article:
http://www.anarchy-online.com/conten...rticles/3980L/
Its unfortunate, because within the article he uses several tricks such as throwing out a Dictionary definition, and making weak comparisons to OtherLand and Matrix to justify the introduction of mystical dogma into AO.
The argument of the article is essentially that AO was always intended to be very ShadowLand-like, but gosh they didnt communicate that well in the beginning. hmmm... I'm not sure I buy that.
