ITT: We list ways that EverQuest is too politically incorrect for 2021.

[RecondoJoe]

-Seems kind of racist that I'm not allowed to use an item based off of my race or religion.

[Horza]

You've ruined your own lands, liberal. You'll not ruin mine!

-Seems kind of racist that I'm not allowed to use an item based off of my race or religion.

All of the lore in the game underlines the negative repercussions of racism and prejudice. That’s literally the morality/theme of the entire game, every race/sects shortcomings are a direct result of their ignorant actions against other races/sects.

Norrath is a really brutal fucked up place because of the influence of jealous and self-righteous gods alike. As the players we can make norrath better and get epic quests or you can contribute to the turmoil and be kos to everyone and not get any phat loot from quests.

Could never release a game like this in 2021, but atleast there’s people like p99 keeping the classic alive.

Alright, so I’ve always seen a resemblance with erudites and heretics as a metaphor blood/crypts and dangerous places forcing a ceasefire like the hole resembling Chiraq. There: I said it.

[UrkTheSlayer]

Also- Freeport militia lore drama is very reminiscent of biker gangs paying off cops.

[UrkTheSlayer]

The only innocent race in classic is the kerra- and even with them: the second they get to the moon they do the same thing to the grimlings that the erudites did to them.

EXCUSE ME IS THAT LUCLIN GRAPHICS?

THAT OFFENDS ME

JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL I TELL TWITTER ABOUT THIS

[Bhairava]

even by the time eq 2 came out they were kind of embarrassed by the erudite hotep stuff so they just made erudites into grey shiny humans(?) in that one.

[Bhairava]

you make a black people race in your game, you gotta put them in the ocean because if you say they cant swim good then ur in trouble, its a catch 22

[Bhairava]

not to imply black people cant swim, some of my best swimming friends are black (?)

[Jibartik]

ahh, in the days where we were able to speak about our different cultures in jest, that joke was a funny one.

Neriak is the most progressive city IMHO. Everyone is represented there and it's super ez to get faction there.

I don’t know what’s worse: being a bigot idiot that doesn’t know any better or the smug, condescending and passive aggressive intellectual that thinks they know better then everyone.

Hope that helps.

If hth means heart to heart, I apologize for zinging on ya: you’re probably right.

Thats what actual racists sound like. You just witnessed a racist trope that the people with the highest int in all of EQ, cannot speak common properly. Theres a name for that. Starts with R and ends with acism.

[starkind]

New erudites are cool, but it was a bad move IMO. They should have represented.

Why not add a new subrace? or something and calle the new ones half erudite or Ancient or Elder Erudites. Or something. What if the old erudites were how EVERYONE looked but came forward in time to help elevate man and barbarian out of poverty?

[Gravydoo II]

I always liked how, on the one hand, you had humans, and then you had black people and other fantasy races.

[starkind]

the erudites have it better than the humans tho

[Cecily]

Paineel is my favorite city.

[Jimjam]

I always liked how, on the one hand, you had humans, and then you had black people and other fantasy races.

I thought they weren't actually 'black', they just appeared darker cos of the shadow from their huge overhanging foreheads?

[starkind]

OP is basically calling anyone that ever saw the word everquest racist

[Jontheripper]

I always liked how, on the one hand, you had humans, and then you had black people and other fantasy races.

I like how you disregard everything about the erudites besides their skin tone.

[Snortles Chortles]

I once played a gnome who for some reason, identified as a half elf. But it's 2021 so it's all good in Norrath!

/woke on

I've long suspected it's not racist when lulz does it.

[Snortles Chortles]

[Jontheripper]

Like how half of them are evil and you can't tell just by looking?

I was referring to the fact that ¹they have good hair, ² they are smartest in norrath ³they can't be shamans or thieves and ⁴ they are excellent stonemasons.
Furthermore lore indicates they were once normal looking until Qwelicious turned their skin dark.

how'd quellious do that and why?

Because if they were white they would be human

Let me clarify that I've always found it funny, sad, and fucked up that they weren't simply classified as human. That could have been handled with the starting city selection, a model change, and a different lore box. Humans from Odus, the Erudites,...

You find it funny, sad and fucked up that Erudites were included in a fantasy game at all, what's more with any respect.

I wouldn't want to be associated with a race of people that would produce thoughts such as these. So I can't blame them. :o

[RecondoJoe]

It’s not that serious

It would have been more racist if barbarians were black and erudite were Asian

The fact that erudite are brown is no different than the fact that dark elves are blue...

Compare a wood elf warrior to a dark led warrior...

Identical stats.. but dark elf has about 30 more points of intelligence...

[Cecily]

I guess the elves are a good way to frame that. Similar anatomy with different names to highlight cultural differences. In closing, I am very mad.

So in fact its the wood elves that are black
