Werent Halfling rangers introduced in Velious?

[gobbosnobbo]

I could have sworn they were at some point, either midway through or at the end.

Nah it was around the luclin era. I think like shortly after luclin released. Halflings could be rangers and paladins, gnomes SK's and Paladins, and I think that was it?

EDIT: it may have been at the end of velious though because I remember selling everything I had when horses came out so I could buy my new halfling paladin a 9k horse. I think it was the beginning of luclin though.

Couple of months into Luclin.

I had thought this didn't happen 'til around PoP for some reason =/

------------------------------
- Halflings and Gnomes have new classes available to them: Halfling
Rangers and Paladins as well as Gnome ShadowKnights and Paladins. All
of the necessary NPCs and items should be available for these new
classes.


As a Halfling Ranger main for 10 years on Live it saddens me that Thulack in his true form would never be seen here.

There is so little diversity in eq/p99, or even the opportunity for diversity, this is the one non-classic change I'd welcome. The fact that min/maxers wouldn't ever make these race/classes makes it that much better. Who knows, maybe after 10 years of Velious...

Agreed but let's save that until Velious gets a little stale. There's a lot of ideas that could be implemented in the future once people have their fill of classic content.

All race/all class combos in EQ2 kinda ruined my immersion, not sure about you pals [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ogre wizards, high elf SKs, etc.

In 2004-era EQ2, the only way to become a high-elf SK was to betray Qeynos, then slowly earn the trust (or at least tolerance) of Freeport over the course of a long quest-line which left you homeless and unable to enter either capital.

When you saw a 'good' race playing an evil class or a dark-elf paladin, you knew there was some important background going on there. They had earned it with blood, sweat and tears. That kind of improved my immersion.

And then they just let anyone do it...

Early Luclin sounds close enough to me...
