Interesting that Erudites have the best stats for 1/3rd of the classes in the game, yet have the lowest population..

Are EQ players racist?

When I 1st started Everquest (for real, when Vazaelle came out) I asked my friend (IRL friend, I was working in a computer shop, we have a basement with 30 comps, good ol times) : "Hey guys whats the least played class/race combo" and one said "Maybe Gnome warrior?", than another argued "There are a lot of warriors tho". So I asked "But what is the worse class" and they all said "Shadowknight! They cant tank, cant deal damage, cant heal, cant port, cant buff", so I asked "what's the worse race for a Shadowknight" and they said "Probably Dark Elf but every single SK is Dark Elf". So I clicked around the character creation and asked "What about Erudite? Their stats looks terrible for a melee" and they looked at me puzzled "Can Erudite even be Shadowknight?".

Elindra was born. I spent the night harm touching rats and suiciding on guard to have HT up again. I Spent hours on her, raided for years, never looked back: Erudite are awesome!

I too am working on an Erudite Shadow Knight - having a great time on her so far!

Btw the pop parser looks awesome, nice work!

Cool, we're able to pinpoint when there has been a downtime or a patch [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey. It's me again.

I've added time ranges to the population graph - I've been mostly lazy in the implementation and I attribute that to my lack of free time recently. It does the job, however.

Enjoy.
