Game Mechanics: Starting Iskar Monk Faction

[Palemoon]

Ok if I have the energy i'll make a post like this for as many "evil" race/religion characters I can since it seems a lot of them are "getting off easy" on p99 compared to how it was.

Part of the challenge of playing a evil race and part of the cost of some of the perks they received was having to deal with faction, so I think its important its as close to classic as possible.

When verifying starting faction levels, I'm going around on the EQmac (Al'kabor) everquest server since it has not been patched since 2002 and represents as close to a official "classic" server there is.

I did not bother with going deeper into the "good" cities or visit the elf cities, they should be KOS throughout. From what I saw Iskar Monks basically have to be very careful almost everywhere. Even in the Freeport "evil people area" there was that one Dark Elf female that was threatening to me.

How does this match up with the current monk/iskar situation on p99?

Having played a iksar monk on live, I can vouch that most of this seems accurate(KOS basically everywhere but Cab, less KOS in Freeport and Neriak than others).

Iksar monks were also KOS to OT guards as well.(Not sure if they are here).

I agree that the faction should be looked at. Iksars have a lot of advantages and this should be a disadvantage. Having to sneak around and use FD to get around faction was actually pretty fun especially on a pvp server.

Wow, thank you Palemoon (and nilbog :P) for doing this! It really would be great to see faction more like how it was on live, especially for the evils.
