The classic looking Erudites wear everything a human does from the neck down. They also use the human skeleton so they have all animations of human character. The problem comes with the head. Since their code looks for human outfits they try to put on human helmets which their head would shoot out the top. We made some specific head pieces for them to be used as NPCs.
But to make them playable would be time consuming in that we would have to make all the head pieces currently in game for the classic Erudites. That would be a lot of helmets to create. Then design and code will have to go back through all the outfits and quest from level 1 to now and set up the needed code to make sure the classic Erudites got the right helms. Oh ya and they would have to be reskinned to use customization bones. This is just the work I can think of off the top of my head.
Yes it is possible but the work load may be too much.
The Freebloods where easier because we didn’t have to make any new armor, they fit in all the dark elf assets.
