Earth Eternal Revamps Character Models in Latest Patch

The browser based MMORPG Earth Eternal released a major patch on July 7, 2010 that, among other things, improves many of the game’s character models.

Full Release:

Major Features:

Revamped Character Models: All playable character models and many NPC models have been revamped. Athletic body types will be much more muscular and defined, while Rotund characters will finally have a belly they can be truly proud of. In addition to the new character models, all character models now blink their eyes from time to time. For more details click here!

Armor Sets: We’ve added and redistributed several armor sets throughout the game and at various levels. Pieces from these sets are available in both a Melee and Caster version and characters who mix and match their skill sets can also mix and match the armor pieces while still wearing a uniformed set of armor. For more details click here!

Insta-Travel: You can now instantly teleport to somebody in your friends list or somebody in your group. Right-clicking on a player name either in your party window or your friends list and selecting teleport will instantly teleport you to that player. This ability cannot be used if the player being teleported to is in an instance or dungeon. You must wait 15 minutes after teleporting before you can teleport again.
