Do we need to "fix" classes for Green 2?

The main issue, at least in the first weeks of the server, was that the tanks didn't have the gear to be efficiently healed (especially without Clarity), and other melee require a tank to do their best damage. Due to pet mechanics a mob will generally ignore them if any PC is in melee range.

So the most efficient party composition was pet classes/healer(s)/enchanter.

Rangers do get access to some pretty great weapons damage wise in Classic that the other melee don't have access to (Short Sword of Morin, Orc Impaler). Not sure it's enough to outweigh the exp penalty though.

Monks and Rogues just don't have the weapons to compete until the Planes hit. Right now Monks best weapons are their fists, and the best Rogue weapon for backstabs is Gloomwater Harpoon which is only 9? damage.

Dont think so, part of the charm of eq is the way it is made.

If everybody wanted to have ultimate solo ability we would all be playing chanters, yet several other classes are played constantly.

Back in the day everybody had a magician, I remember in 2002 you could see magicians everywhere and druids, so many druids selling velious stuff in EC.

I mean, anything that tries to become a perfect vision of EQ is doomed to fail, as the vision is different for everybody, what we have now works, is good and fun even with the toxic environment.

In 2003 I was in a Guild Alliance to form raids in Kael ... the drama was real ... so real that RnF here is just tame compared to the death threats, doxxing, gossip, nude trading and weird gatherings to have swinging parties during the EQ conventions as an excuse to let loose.

Lets be real, what we have right now is as good as it can get to the "original" experience, as flawed as it is now.

It can be improved? of course, but not in the way some people propose, that is just ... impossible.
