Class/Race Rant

[Danth]

I agree with your post, Theaetatus. Optimized racial choice serves mostly as a confidence booster for players who might otherwise be a little unsure of themselves. The couple percent you gain from actually picking the ideal race won't noticeably matter in a loosely-tuned game like Everquest. I can think of no case where a class of race_a can do something that the same class of race_b cannot. However, for some folks the psychological effect of picking the "best" race can make the difference between liking and disliking their character.
