Halflings get xp faster to make up for being one of the ugliest races. Humans, on the other hand, are the best looking race and pay for that by having no special stat or racial ability.

Halfling having the intended human bonus was known very early on. 989/Verant consciously decided to leave it as-is, in that sense turning the bug into a feature. As it turned out, human characters proved popular enough even without any particular racial advantage.

I like to pretend my halfling isn't the ugliest little shortie out there but he's packing a huge 3 inch halfling weapon down there.

All the HDG women cannot handle that.

Well maybe the Dwarf ladies.

Source? Sounds like conjecture to me.

Probably because they thought they had a 5% EXP bonus. I played a Halfling in classic through SoL and had no idea there was an EXP bonus.

Yeah I played a human necromancer for the same reason.

While we are at it we should delete the wiki since that’s not classic either.

Not sure OP got the memo but p99 is trying to recreate classic, not "fix it".
