Rarest deity choice?

It would have to be between Prexus/Quellious, ERU clerics are rare enough, but most would go CT for the Paineel and faction benefits.

Between Prexus/Quel, I'd guess Quel is the rarer combo as the people that want to be "snowflakes" would prob. go Prexus for the weirdness of an ocean worshipping cleric over the normalcy of a pacifist worshipping healer.

Very funny you'd say thus. So far my brief survey I have found: two Quellious clerics, one Cazic Thule cleric, and four Prexus clerics. I really would have thought that Prexus would be rarer than Quellious due to lack of symbol quests, but I guess I was wrong!

I'm sure the raiders probably have more cazic thule clerics, however. This is a survey I've only been doing for a day so obviously the numbers would be a bit messed up.

Hey everyone! Kind of a silly question, but what do you think is the rarest deity a cleric can worship? I'm thinking either Bertox, Karana, or Mithaniel Marr.

I see most clerics worship Innoruuk, Tunare, or Bristlebane. What do you all think?

Human/DE Innoruuk clerics can snare. Ignore everything else and just enjoy having that exclusive benefit. I'm all for some roleplay(love my Human Bert Necro), but Inny just too good to pass up on a cleric IMO.

I would have thought more clerics I asked would worship Innoruuk, but currently Mithaniel Marr is beating it in my very rough poll I've been conducting on P99 Green hahaha.

My epic cleric went Innoruuk. Red server.

Why? I thought the Regent symbol item was cool. (Clinging Darkness on a necklace)

Don't think I ever used it after the day I got it.

Glad I went Inny though, being a Human chilling in Neriak was fun.

Went Mith Marr back in the day solely because I'd spawn in Freeport where my coworkers were. Then years later someone was happy I could imbue diamonds. Figured I'd do it again on p99.

As much as I appreciate the polytheistic pantheon created by original devs I think more ideologies, political or secular, could have been woven in to another layer of character depth. How to actually integrate other belief systems into a fantasy setting is another question altogether.

If EQ had added in the following mimicking reality:
-three versions of a competing Monothesitic faith
-having some secular faiths a-la Socialism, Wokeism
-a few totalizing political idealologies with no room for the divine, Fascism and Communism
-some woo woo options such as Astrology, Zodiac stuff

The possibilities of the faction system layering could have gotten a lot more interesting is what I'm trying to say.

Faction seems to be something many modern games have forgotten about.
