Everquest 2: Graphics, Artwork and Quests, Coverage Continues.

In the final and fifth part of mmorpg.com's Fan Site VIP Event 2004 coverage,
they discuss graphics, artwork and quests in the game.  Here is a sample
from the article talking about the feelings in the community regarding the
character creation disk artwork:

The one thing right now that the fanbase can see is the character
creation disk that recently shipped. There has been a lot of very passionate and
vocal criticism in that the characters look very doll-like and plastic, and also
the hair looks like it is made of playdoh.

[span style="color: #FFFF00"]This game has been in development for 4, almost
5 years, ever since right after Kunark. It's been in development for a long
time, there's a lot of legacy things we've had to do. I think of the original
team, out of the 100 or so people on the EQ2 team only 16 or 17 have been here
for the duration. We've seen a lot of turnover in not only the members of the
team but also the approach to how certain things are done and even the idea of
what we were going to do with the product. Because of a lot of that as we've
gotten closer to wanting to produce the game we've had to prioritize what is
important and what is not. So for example the skin, we've done a lot of work on
that at the expense of the hair because people are going to see more skin than
hair.[/span]
