I would play a Dark Elf because to me that is the "the" shadowknight race. It just defines the role better for me. So dark and awesome looking. They also get to wear plate armor which can be a huge plus.
Iksar get a 20%(?) experience penalty, and on top of the shadowknight penalty (40%?) it can become very slow. Yea, in Iksar land you can probably find better groups, but you can just get there on your own as a dark elf.
So basically you can deal with the problems of being a dark elf by running to kunark, but there isnt jack you can do about the extra penatly or not getting to wear plate.
(Yea iksar get 2hp more per 6seconds, but after level 10 Id say you really don't notice it anymore in groups).
Welcome to EQ by the way, home of the masochists.
