Race/Class-penalties

[Danien]

Have there been any word on whether exp-penalties for races/classes will be implemented? I'm strongly arguing against it from a design-pov.

They never made any sense, the only argument that could be done for them is that some classes/races are imbalanced and therefore should require more time to level up, but that's just a dumb replacement for trying to attain classbalance.

A little over ten years later I hope we're all the more wiser having played this game and do not implement this feature which makes very little sense. I think we can all agree that for example rangers are in no way overpowered and deserving of a exp-penalty. Sure, some classes are stronger then others in various situations but I think it's pretty fair to say that they horribly misjudged who these classes and races are.

Overall exp-penalties were a mistake which never should have been implemented, probably a reminiscense of old roleplaying-games I don't know of.

Let's not make the same mistake again!
