Bards then and now

[Kwitchercryn]

Well, after about an hour or so, I think its very safe to say, I hate what EQ has become and I cant wait to play classic. Making a toon on live isnt even fun to me anymore. They changed SO much.

Imagine my complete disappointment : I make a wood elf bard, just so I can pretend im on classic for a short while. Whats this??? I cant start off in Kelethin? But I opted out of the tutorial! Set me free in Greater Fay to unleash my wrath on the Crushbone Orcs that seek to invade my forest home! But no, it is not to be. I must start off in Crecent Reach....Well, I will not be turned away so easily! I ask around, and find the easiest way to get to my beloved home in the trees! Just a short run to the nearest PoK book. Then its off to kick some orc butt.

Ahhhhh, at last, the majestic forest of Greater Faydark. I familiar sounds of the night greet me as the magic of the Plane of Knowledge departs me on the outskirts of Kelethin. I make my way to the oh so familiar PoD lift. Up I go, and im off to find the Bard guild master.

Alright, armed with my trusty short sword. I take the lift back down to the forest floor. I start off by slaying some decaying skeletons. Ahh, how I missed the maniacal laughter of the undead fiends as I beat them into a dusty pile of bones....Then...whats this? Off in the distance? Skulking through the shadows of the abandoned druid ring just outside the warm lights of Kelethin....an Orc Centurion! No doubt part of a scouting party, sent to spy, and if possible, kill a member of my elven family.

I can Not let this stand! I charge in to put a stop to this abomination of nature, only to stop short in my tracks.....say it isnt so....This is NOT the orc I was expecting but something completely different. Had it not been for the title above its head, I would of never known this was a member of the Crushbone clan. SoE, your shame knows no bounds. You just couldnt leave well enough alone. You had to change the orc graphic...../sigh The Titanium client can NOT get here fast enough. Classic EQ, you are surely missed.
