Why did they decide iksar couldn't wear plate?

[Kope]

Iksars actually have 2 different "chain" graphics, the higher end being their "end game plate" graphic which is odd and negates the argument for lazy designers not wanting to create a new graphic model for the race.

Not in everquest, nope. They only cause bruises and concussions. Eventually the brain starts bleeding and the mob dies.

That's how it works.

15 years of EQ and I've not seen a drop of blood... ever.

Maybe there's no such thing as blood in Norrath [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i thought the lore was that their bodies overheat in plate

[Ravager]

The devs thought they looked stupid enough without it.

Have you ever been to Grobb?

It's rather obvious that Iksar are coldblooded and thus need good thermo-regulation. This cannot be accomplished by stuff, encapsulating plate armor, thus they need something more breathable like chain or scale mail.

Dunno where you guys got this scale chafing non-sense, it's because they are cold blooded. They need to take in heat from the outside. The sun, etc.

It was a dumb decision that was rectified almost immediately on Live but has persisted for years here

Not everyone can have nice things! Lizards were targeted.

Was even crazier that they couldn't wear the Kunark class armor sets...as a race introduced in kunark...
