Old Rune Knight sprites looked a lot lot better than the new ones, the only thing I like about new sprites is the dragon armor, but, RK's no longer look like some kind of mystic knight who mixes magic and weapons...

What do you people think about?

I like the new RK sprite. It doesn't look like a douche bag.

The old RK sprite was poorly done. It was missing frames (at least the female was), the color scene was not aesthetically pleasing, and over all it was just a bad design. Maybe it was cool in theory, but the execution killed it.

I can see why some people say the new one looks too much like the Lord Knight but I don't mind it. I loved the Lord Knight sprite, and the Rune Knight now looks like a higher ranking knight of the same order. I personally think it's a huge improvement.

There's no reason why there shouldn't be both sprites available.

I was expecting the new one to be optional because of how long it took them to implement this. But no, they simply replaced sprites. Seriously. A kid with google could have done that on their pserver. Back in November. Were the sprites too many MB to fit into an e-mail or what...

colour-wise the old RK was very pleasing to me, thats just personal preference, its not like it's too saturated to fit into RO or anything.
Just talking about the male one. Female is huge improvement in every way.
I never made a knight until recently but even if I try to get it to 3rd cls, it'd just end up like my Sorc which I mained for quite some time pre-renewal. Stuck on 102 because I hate his look and miss my scholar sprite :)

Gravity should really make alt. sprites for all 3rds and make them optional, like they once said they would do sometime.

Ive seen that about 80% of gx players hate their look for example (even tho gx looks good to me).

Actually, there is.
There's no sprite with the old Rune Knight Sprite riding the Lion Mount.
So players who would use the old Sprite can't get a Lion Mount. This would result in several problems, starting from "it's not fair" to "I didn't know and buyed and opened a box!"
Therefore the old Rune Knight Sprite has finnished sprites with alternative Dragon colors, which the new one doesn't...

e____e
Then make lion sprites for it.

They have the lion sprite, they have the RK mounted sprite. Its not an issue. Compare RG gryphon and lion sprite. Youll notice the RG is basically the same sprite.

Rune Knights are lucky they got a new bettter looking sprite. I wish the same could happen for royal guards. The shield on the back is very displeasing to the eye.

To each their own. For me, I love the new RK sprite. Most of the 3rd class themes don't follow their predecessor sprite themes. Female Genetics are no exception, considering how they wear only panties and a bra now instead of their skirts of the past.

I love the female GX sprite, I just wish it was a different color than purple and grey (would have like a dark blue + white like Loki in the manwah). and I thought the RK sprite is a good improvement too. lol RGs do kind of look like a turtle with the shields. I also really like the female genetic sprite as well, the male's not so much.

The new RK sprite is going to stay. There are more people complaining about the old RK sprite rather than the new RK sprite. Can I get a down vote? :)

They should give people the option for the old sprite or the new sprite. Wasn't it designed as a Cash Shop "upgrade"? Maybe it should be implemented that way here. 100kp/1reset stone to change your RK's sprite.

+1. I wonder why they didn't implement this. A lot of people here cling to the nostalgia of old RK sprite and they must be willing to pay a couple hundred KP for this. Warpportal could be making a nice business with this right now. :)

Because they implemented the mounts at the same time -> see above :)

Personally I like them both.

I think it would be nice to have the choice. Always though class sprites should show armor back int he day.
I of course understand why that would be a pain but having different choices in sprites for the end game classes would be fun.

Since there's no choice, this is the solution to getting the old sprite back. It takes all of like... a minute and costs no money. >_>

Even if making a lion sprite for old rk was much work, on kro there were several classes who just didnt have any mount for a while even though others had. Im sure ppl who want old rk sprite would prefer being able to use it even if it meant they didnt have a lion for some time.

When in Ragnarok history, has there been alternative sprites..? I can't name any! RK has already had it's day in the sun anyway. It's GX's turn to get a makeover now in my opinion.
