Class/Race Rant

[eqravenprince]

Why would anyone play a Human Monk vs Iksar Monk? Whether they are good reasons or not, I like the way a Human Monk looks. I like that I am not kos everywhere. I do not like most Kunark zones. I like being unique. I like not having a race exp penalty. Lastly, I started my Human Monk before Kunark was released.

Maybe you like the starting city better. Maybe you can level faster not being KoS in the places you enjoy hunting. There are a bunch of reasons to play certain classes. I just play what I enjoy and like to play. I don't really care what specific race happens to have one ability that might make him better in a duel, or better in a certain areas of the game.

Doesn't all the racial stuff get wiped out after Velious anyways? Or was it after Luclin they decided to take racial bonus' out of the game?

Racial penalties remained until 2006 (Serpent's Spine expansion).

wow, I didn't realize they stayed in the game that long. I guess it was less noticeable by Velious. Being maxed on a stat was no big feat by that time. Maybe that's what got me thinking about why it might have been Luclin/Velious.

Unique? Unique!? Really??? As far as I can tell, the only two race/class combos on this server that outnumber human monk twink are iksar monk twink and wood-elf druid pharmer. Cool joke there, tell us another one.
