I'd much rather the devs spend their time tweaking existing classes than bringing in new ones.

No offense, but why is it acceptable that rangers stay so weak Classic through Velious? I'm not saying anything drastic, just give them something to make a ranger sought after more than say.. a mage.

There's no good reason why a Ranger should be less desirable in a group than a warrior of the same level, unless the warrior is 37+ and has two Yaks or something. Rangers are generally better at holding aggro and can even CC a little. Warriors have the advantage of having more hp, which I won't trivialize, but at earlier levels when I search for a tank I do /who all Ranger too.

Not sure about you guys, but I actually find Rangers to be a great addition to a group.

Beastlords are a very fun class to play but simply have no place on this server. All it will do is create even more people soloing, which is the beastlords forte.

Assling rangers and gnome shadowknights tho? No problem there IMO.

This server is designed to be classic and every single request to add a non classic element is just plain idiotic. It has nothing to do with "harm" or "balance", it has everything to do with the fundamental reason this server exists. This post is most likely a troll. But regardless, your request is not classic (including trilogy) so GTFO.
It boggles me that no one is bitching about things that are not "classic" on a "classic" server. Faction changes, i.e. my Erudite necro isn't KOS in Qeynos, what the hell is that? What the hell is up with not having to look at the book while medding?

This is in no way a "classic" server. Where's the outrage over that, hypocrite? And by the way, why don't you go fuck yourself?

This is a Classic Progression server. That means the dimension of time is a factor in what content is available. To misunderstand it as a static classic server would be to assume that everything is always as it was during the first three months after release.

And that would be incredibly boring...

Book-Med would be impossible to reproduce with the current UI.

Its an impossibly retarded mechanic though, and you and 3 other people are the only other people who want that back in.

Faction stuff, I can hear you on that...

Thank you for attacking me with the logic and flare of a teenage girl on her first period. I am a hypocrite for not asking devs to fix something they have stated is technically impossible to do on an emulator based on titanium code? I have been here for one month and apparently you joined in Nov 2009 yet you still do not have the faintest clue how the server works nor what the devs are trying to achieve here. Sure the faction issue is not perfect and could use an update. But how does coding a beastlord help you fix the faction bugs? it doesn't. It makes it more likely that the faction issues will not be fixed. Wasting devs time complaining about something outside the "vision" of this server is as i stated idiotic. And FYI the spellbook change happened during the Classic trilogy period. Beastlords did not.
