I realize this is going to go nowhere, but I thought I'd at least get my thoughts out on a forum post. This is in regards to hybrids.
I think Project 1999 should have removed the hybrid class penalty the first day it went live. "But but but..It's not classic" You might say. No, I agreee it's not. The problem we run into on P99 is classic content without classic players.
Back on Lanys in the pre-post Kunark days there were tons...tons of Hybrids. Pallys, Rangers, SK's etc....because people were not aware of the group exp penalty. Folks played them, got groups, contributed to raids, made friends etc...People grouped with these classes because it was the spirit of the game to group, fight together, progress together etc.
Enter Project 1999........Alllllllllllllll these years later where folks already know what is coming around the next curve in the road. There are no surprises.
I came to P1999 back in August and was almost immediately aware at how few hybrids I saw running around. After a few weeks and then months of /who class I realized there were 10 or so pallys above 50, some SK's and almost no rangers.
Do we really want a server filled with nothing more than Rogues, Shammys and Monks?
With the knowledge players now have of Hybrids and the mountain of prejudice towards these classes....shouldn't the exp penalty be lifted?
