Everquest is Inherently Racist

Check your human privilege.

Fuck ogres they stink, they're super fat, fucking huge and dumb as a rock.
Ogres can burn in hell. Anyone who sympathies for them can burn too.

Erudite master race! 107-117 starting INT

I'm just kidding of course, but everquest does contain a significant amount of public racism in relation to their fantasy world races. The faction system makes that point cemented in place.

There are even religious persecutions in Everquest.

Well it should be HUMANS but as I said in Norrath black people are not human, they are Erudites.

Clearly Iksar.

The genetically superior athletic stats. Endless racial civil war. Prejudiced by merchants everywhere outside of their own neighborhood. It's all there.

Hmm... starting with high swimming skill kind of throws a wrench in that, though.

So black people are not humans.

You say that like human is a good thing.

erudites also have a nice island far far far away from everyone else.

through the ghetto of qeynos

soooo it seems split... between Lizardmans and the Black foreheads of Norrath = African mericans.

look i am not racist, i just want to know who i need to help out by giving some extra plat. like who has had the rougher time...? you know, with prejudice

just like IRL we should be paying taxes, giving free charity and other good things like playstation, opportunities in crime, etc to the underpriviliged so they can work their way Up to a higher society (Felwithe/France)

It is racist - You are one of the few who has noticed this, good for you(it means you are attentive in this day and age).

As you will notice most everything made of games and movies are racist, and Im not talking about racial hatred amongst fantasy races ingame.
Obviously you should be able to be "black" as a human in the game, but you have to choose "Erudite" - these fellas also live on a continent of themselves.

Guise of the Coercer, Iksar Hide Mask and Guise of the Deceiver all give +13 Cha and +7 MR, Guise of Obtenebration(Obtenebration itself means Darkness) only give +8 Cha and no MR, although it gives some Agi since "black people are good in basketball"

Yeah it is racist and Ive mentioned this to EQ buds before, tho they dont notice it in all the other games and videos they watch

Why don't we also make it period accurate and have a tribal village as the black human starting town? Lets also make it so they can't craft anything beyond the basics. Lets limit their language skills and have them start with mixed factions from the npc's near their own village. Let's also add a slave quest line where you can sell people from neighboring villages into slavery for worthless trinkets on the Red server.

You know what? Realism sucks.
