Yeah probably, but you could just bust out some monkly wisdom about introspection and gloss over that.

Speaking of stereotying, You can't tell me your mental image of a chinese wizard wasn't something like

Information about Hot keys is stored in an .ini file in the install directory. You can edit this file to create a hot key outside of the game. Copy and paste any unicode characters you want from the character map program that comes with windows...my bard on live had two greek letters in surname heh....haven't tried this on p99...
This sounds like something that could end up causing other players to crash out of the game.

Do you think there'd be petitions of people being offended?

There was a thread about this not too long ago. TLDR version is that the fantasy monk archetype has several origins, and many are not Asian. For instance, the EQ monk was heavily influenced by the Dungeons and Dragons monk, which was based on some stories about a white monk character not an Asian one.

Besides, the only Asian culture in Norath is the dark elves, and they can't be monks, so at best (if you don't pick the Monk master race) you've got a toon that looks like Danny Rand whose name is the Chinese characters for "Iron Fist", or whatever.

Cool

i did this before, but not remember how. I gonna post what I do remember though in case someone with more outer knowledge will be able to piece together the missing parts with they superior knowledge set.

so like fonts are stored in a text file somewhere in Windows and for games too I think. There like a text file, or maybe it an image file that have all the characters at different sizes and stuff. to display other characters, you have to add them to hat file or set of files. I want to say you can copy stuff from you Windows install to the right spot in the eq install, but not remember. maybe they were tga files.


someone figure out what I trying to describe please. op need help and I wanna do it again too.

where paul? He probably know.

paul?


help?

Chinese paladins are OP. Why play any other tank when they have agro-lock and the same mitigation as warriors? This needs nerfed ASAP.

Incorrect. It has been confirmed in EQ lore all monks come from a clan of rappers in Staten Island, New York City, NY.
