Hybrids add versatility and efficiency to the group.
Hybrid tanks can hold aggro better, which leads to less spot-heals, which leads to less downtime for the cleric and more nukes from a druid or shaman. Bards add DPS to the entire group, resists, hitpoint and mana regen. This also increases the speed of kills and lowers downtime for the group. (Can't think of anything for rangers that really adds anything that isn't already covered by other classes... they are decent DPS I guess) Yeah, so you get a penalty to it's made up for by being able to basically kill constantly and never need downtime. Also, this server is here to emulate classic. If you don't like this, there are plenty of other servers out there that do not emulate classic. | ||

The bottom line is nilbog wants to make this server as close to classic as he possibly can the awful things and the amazing things. Anything he doesn't change is simply limited by the client. I'm sure if he could erase all our knowledge of the game some how he'd do it just so it could be that much closer to 1999. | |||

If you think of EXP penalties in pen-and-paper AD&D terms, and not as a power ranking handicap, you'll get it.
Don't forget thats where this game essentially is derived from. | ||

Lastly, exp penalties limit the amount of hybrids roaming around the server. This is a good thing because otherwise the class population imbalance would be much worse than it is... trust that!

Yes.
Your point is? I also don't think a 20% penalty is warranted for regen. Or a 5% penalty for being able to slam without a shield. But the game has been like that from the beginning. If you took the penalties away I don't think it would make much difference. On the other emu servers where you level so fast you don't notice penalties, you don't seem to see that many trolls. Or maybe it is because racial regen isn't noticeable on those servers anyway with all the ch emblems. Whatever. | ||
