I was told that there was a patch yesterday that updated the character textures from what we got with Season 8..
I finally had the opportunity to go take a look on Tribble...and I have to say, WOW. I am very impressed

And I was DEAD set on having pre-Season 8 facial textures back before I saw this, so this really is awesome.
Whoever the new artist is at Cryptic, I was wrong to think you had your own agenda for our character's looks. These textures really blow me away. They are superior to the old in most ways and the complexion even blends better overall. I thank you for listening to the community, it isn't often we have someone that works with us like that.
While I do still believe that this does not match the depth of the original textures, it is much preferred to the current situation on the main server. I see that the new eyes are more... reflective? or glassy? I don't know how I feel about that part, it initially looked like my character had cataracts (looked slightly milky) but it may just be my adjusting to the new look. I really appreciate this and am looking forward to it on holodeck.
Thanks much. - A Happy STOer
Here are the final comparison shots of one of my characters from the switches.
