Enchanter is #1 solo class? What is this madness

I’m not saying one is true, and others are false.

Agreed (with the whole post). Look, obviously there are going to be multiple reasons why X is different here vs. live, and not all of them are going to be "because our emulator is inaccurate".

I just think it's undeniable that one (and only one) class was viewed incredibly differently in '99-'01 vs. how it's viewed here ... and that the goal of this place should be to let people experience classic EQ.

I do disagree with this though:

I’m also dont care if “a class has a distinct advantage” over another (the world isn’t fair) unless we are locked from playing that class by a paywall.

I came here after playing on live and got to re-live the classic Shaman experience. Sure there were differences (eg. I remember being shocked when LOIO goblins cast serious spells on me), but almost everything was the same. It was incredible to get to have that experience again!

By making Enchanters an unclasic easy version of themselves, Nilbog is denying all those players that same experience. The harm isn't "other classes might get jealous", the harm is that 1/14th of our population (probably more since the class is so popular) are missing out on classic EQ.

P.S. I truly want to main an Enchanter in Green 2.0 ... but I want the real thing, not the easy version!
