--------- Summarized --------- I'm looking for these old Rebirth / Transcendent Character Sprites, and I've searched far and wide, and all I've been able to find are the images (at least there's still those though...), and a shit ton of broken links to data that could potentially have had them, but probably even not been quite in the correct range of dates (I just found the Dates of their announcement on kRO's site, so yeay at least there's something more to go by). I have data on my computer that I kept from back then too, but it's also a little before, and after.... D:
I will seriously really thank anyone that could help with this~ if anyone can.
~ And if for some reason there's some obvious place to find them, or topics already made about them that I didn't see, I'm sorry about that.
--- Further Explanation (if you feel like reading more, because I tend to write a lot) --- - What I would like to do is Collect all of the Character Sprites that were ever released. Sadly though, these older ones seem about non-existent. I've searched and searched and searched... on and on..., and I will keep doing so, but if anyone can help me out here with this, I'd seriously gladly appreciate it (plus the Palettes for them if possible); so far nothing but old broken links and downloads of data near the range when they were released, but probably not quite at the right points anyway. I'd imagine there's some deep corner on the internet where they exist though, or on someone's Hard Drive. I used to have the Female Assassin Cross with the Pants at some point (can't seem to find it on my computer now), so I'm pretty confident they all did exist as released Sprites, and not just concept art. - I downloaded all of the Patch Files from the kRO, iRO, and jRO FTP Patch sites, and sadly kRO and iRO only have more recent data (I also read kRO shut down it's Sakray servers some time ago, which is pretty common knowledge apparently.... I've been out of the RO seen for many years), and jRO's updates were less frequent~ all I could find where releases of the Final version of the Rebirth / Transcendent Class Sprites.
- While several of these are kinda Blehh anyway, there are a few that I would really like to have, particularly the old Paladin Sprites, and Female High Wizard, and also the Clown looks kinda interesting as possible use for a better looking Bard lol. It would also be good to have the Palettes that went with them if do-able, for curiosity and just to have a complete set if it all.
- Either way, I'd like to just collect them all. And plus someday I may open a Private Server and it would be nice to allow people to choose their style when available. Just like how jRO has alternate 3rd Class Sprites, except I think it would be neat to do the same for other Classes which have Old versions of their Sprites.
- It would also be nice to have an easy to find place where other people could acquire them for those that also would like to have them (I would gladly host them too).
- I see there are also some hair styles that I don't seem to find in my current data files, or any that I'd had in the past, does anyone know if these were released? - (on the Male High Wizard and High Priest, Female Creator and Whitesmith, possibly the Male Whitesmith as well, the Male Sin X, Old Female Paladin, and it looks like also the New Male Paladin; looks like there's some others too, but w/e)
And also I do already have the original Rune Knight and its Palettes, so no problem there (even though really the new ones are what I prefer to use myself anyway, but yeah more options are definitely nice).
--- Original Versions on the Left, Final Versions on the Right --- ~~~
------------------------- Additionally, can anyone confirm if the Female Guillotine Cross below with the wider shoulders and stance was ever released, or just concept / unfinished art? Same thing for the Rune Knights, also having differences in how they stand, although only slightly for them (Male's hand isn't on his Hip, and Female's arms and shoulders are barely different but w/e). I feel pretty certain they're likely just unfinished versions, which would be a shame, because I really do like the Female GX a lot more than the current one.
