I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no, but for anyone in the know, is there anyway to port KRs art/interface into the EC? the death of KR is the main reason I don't come back to the game.
Art links for Kingdom Reborn http://www.uoherald.com/kingdomreborn/screens.phpLinks to what KR art look like? I never used that client.
They won't work on the graphics, I think that was the point of the EC, lower the graphics from KR because a few dinosaurs refuse to keep up with the times. The people who are hung up on the CC are going to hold the rest of us that want to move on back.Now if they started to work on the graphics and continue to enhance the EC, then we'd be in better shape.
This is killing me. I was forgetting how good KR graphics were in comparison to what we're stuck with now, but clicking through your links quickly reminded me. This also put the scary thought in my head that they could pull the plug on the Enhanced Client just as easily and foolishly....
I've been calling for an option for KR graphics ever since closed beta for the EC.
It really has been a slap in the face to see just how far they DOWNGRADED the graphics from KR to the EC.
Yes, KR had issues, but right now, I think the EC might have more fatal issues than KR most of which are made MANY times worse due to the current level of neglect the client has received.
I have quite a few KR pictures and KR/EC comparisons posted and instead of posting them picswise (some are VERY large), I'll simply post the links for people's perusal below.
One final thing... I stated near the end of KR that regardless of what people were saying at the time, there would be a time (within a year or two) that people would be looking back fondly and asking "what happened to these graphics". The same has happened with the Alpha builds as well as even the 3d graphics in some cases. Now it's happening with KR graphics just as I said.

The models are the same, but they were rendered at much lower resolution...I just took a few brief looks at the KR client, but don't we have the KR art for all the mobs in the EC?

Dakkon I so agree with everything your saying. It's so sad the that game can be better than what it is today. We totally should have been given the option.I mean how is the game ever going to move forward when it is stuck in the past?
KR criticism seems to come down to minor things like fruit bowls a lot. Who plays this game for fruit bowls? Do people get their guilds together on Saturday night and go on fruit bowl crawls?Some items was good, but many of them are really bad...
look at this picture for example: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/7632/porchcompare.png
The fruit bowl on the black table was really crap...
... like in the example you posted, the squirrel statue in CC barely looks like a squirrel, the bonzai plant in CC looks nothing like a bonzai plant, the painting on the wall in CC looks nothing like a painting, etc. but CC supporters don't use that as a reason to abandon the Classic Client.In this picture you can see more bad items:
