If I've missed anything, let me know. Also if you have any problems feel free to IM me and we'll see if we can't work it out. I didnt bother doing specific icons for different programs, but if there is a demand for them, let me know and we'll see what we can do.

Cheers! Hope you all enjoy them.

Great job, Nascent! I'm going to wait for all the icons before rearranging my desktop, but these look really good.

Wow! And not a crappy kind of ruined "Wow!" like "WoW"! I didn't even know you could change your icons around like that! But now I'll get an aneurism just figuring out which one to use. hehe.
-Thanks.

[EDIT]
I just tried to do this to my GW shortcut on my desktop and it never went to the point of asking me which one I wanted to change to. Instead, it switched to the icon that represents the entire stash of them. Am I doing something wrong that I should be slapped for?

lol I doubt that will happen, but glad you like them. Totally worth the time it took to learn how to do icons.

you should see mine, icons, screenshots, videos, wallpaper...its insane. If only I could get my hands on some soundclips...we could get an entire windows theme going! muahaha.

And I HIGHLY doubt they'd make it to the official site, they're cool but far from worthy of THAT. heh.

Glad you enjoy...and i've never heard of that happening before. Drop me a line on AIM/MSN/YAHOO/Whatever and we'll see if we can't get that fixed.

Yeah, I'm partial to the Elementalist ones too, purely for the colours and the way they turned out. But I'm sticking with Ranger for now, they're vibrant and funktastic >_>

How in earth did I miss this? Wow, you do amazing work, Nascent! Darkmane pointed out this thread to me, and I have to say, this icon set is great fun. We hope to update the skills section on our site to provide all the skill icons very soon, so you'll have even more to play with.

Thanks for your special touch of creativity!

Flattery will get you everywhere (or so they say) glad you like them. Feed me more content and I'll glady devote hours to it. Tis the least that can be done considering the calibre of the game you're providing us with.

Oh, and now would probably be a good time to mention I added a new icon to each set using the wallpaper art depicting each class as the main icon for the set >_> so yeah! Cheers!
