Who cares?

Who gives a flying fuck?

-The role of holy symbols for the different races. Trolls of Innoruk get the best of them, the others are more toys

The inny symbol is more for PvE. With a cast time of six seconds for a 30ish second snare that barely snares, it's very rarely useful in PvP. Especially if they keep that bullshit early break code for snares.

-Faction, with faction being fixed by Nilborg, it is a factor on a pvp server. In many overland old world areas the Barbarian will have guards to run to, or to pvp/rest behind. Not so for the other races as much, without a lot of faction work.

This is relevant until leve 15 or so.

-Iskar can't use kunark armor for the clickies like free damage

Mostly only matters in PvE. People don't wear their Kunark armor in PvP, it gives no resists or HP and the clickies are mostly useless in PvP combat. You don't wanna spend 8 seconds casting a non-lure nuke that does like 180 damage after the PvP reduction.

-Iskar get their own shaman club quest, this quest is completable all the way up to a epic quality club on Al'kabor... NOT sure the timeline on it and if that epic quality club will be availible in Velious (or earlier?)

I think it goes up to only the third to last club on this server. I have no idea when the rest of them get added, but I wouldn't count on it being before Velious. I never did those quests on live and can't bother looking it up.

In the end? Always choose the race/class combo that will help you "get into" your character the most. Your character is your in game persona, not just a collection of numbers. The more you love the "style" and idea of your character, the more fun you will have in game. This is classic EQ, you wont be having accounts full of max level toons, well unless you grind for years. You got to love your main.

That's some blue as hell shit. I'm guessing most people here has already leveled at least a dozen characters to 50+, first on live and then on some of the various classic emu servers. You can be a hippie on a PvE server where your choice barely matters, but if you make a subpar choice on a PvP server, you'll pay for it.

Also it's iksar, not iskar.
