I meant to make sure to get that into the patch notes... yes, we've updated all the old 2D art to match the 2D art shipped with LBR and AoS. I'm trying to reduce the number of different clients we have to support through consolidation, and in some case elimination (for instance, the LBR Fan Event CD is now unsupported... nobody was using it anymore.) By reducing the number of clients we have to support, we increase the amount of content additions, gameplay additions, and bug fixing we can do. In the past we have, in-effect, let the large number (nine to be exact) of different clients that we support create a sort of client update paralysis. I intend for that to change.

I realize that some of you prefer the older aesthetic, but having to support multiple aesthetics is what has kept us from moving the overall aesthetic forward. I hope that you will find the net result of these changes to be largely positive as we're able to do more to advance the aesthetic, and improve the quantity and quality of what we're able to do with the other parts of the game.

Cheers,
Fertbert
