Why no palies?

I know this isn't a direct answer to the OP, but just had some thoughts bubbling as I read through the thread to this point.

I think the reason you see few Paladins is a classic example of the self-fulfilling prophecy.

People looking for advice on what class to play hear bad things about Paladins. Less players start Paladins. Less Paladins means there are fewer experienced ones playing to ask for class advice. It all just builds on itself to the point where new Paladins are having to find their way in the dark without a large Paladin community familiar with tactics and gearing.

And of course, a clever and attentive Paladin is better than some half-afk Enchanter or Shaman. This game has good players, not good classes.


As a side note, fuck fighting a Paladin on Red. Exercise in futility.

There were so many community websites for classes out there. I would frequent Paladins of Norrath from lore to tactics and advice. It was a plethora of knowledge that I would turn to nearly on a daily basis.
With the information we gained there, to actively seeking advice from higher level paladins in game we grew in knowledge, therefore efficiency. I always enjoyed passing down that knowledge to other paladins, and directing them to sites that could help them grow.

I believe shadow knights had something similar, Evilgamerz or something like that
