There was a sword-chucks running gag quest for the original 2004 newbie quests in Scale Yard. I want those sword-chucks. :<

There's so much shit that needs to be fixed in the core game and all they can come up with is... a dance animation.

An animator does different work on the game than the raid, class, and pvp devs do. Would you want the restaurant's janitor to make you a fancy soup? No? Okay then. This would probably be the work of Imago-Quem or some other art dev in EQ2. They don't work on game mechanics.

Think about it, a new dance animation doesn't seem like much, but this could lead to other things. Cloaks that don't clip through armor. A better understanding of proper axis manipulations, which could lead to a fix for that horrible Z-Axis, and thus, horrible pathing. Better animations all around. Maybe some motivation to the art department to flesh out art for new gear/spells. Better character models. Dragons that don't look like fucking dogs. </wishful thinking>

Well this animation looks much more fluid so maybe...
