its because of the "RPG" that follows MMORPG, unfortunately that part seems to be left out these days. any table top D&D player can tell you that races and classes were not always designed with balance in mind, and since eq was created by a bunch of dnd nerds i assume that mentality carried over. my most memorable d&d charaters were some of the more wacky class and race combo's. tbh i wish there werent any race or class restrictions in eq, how cool would it be to actually play a dark elf ranger???

This is exactly it. That's one thing I love about EQ. Of course a Troll or an Ogre will be a much better warrior than, say, a Wood Elf. It's just logical! But sometimes the fun is in playing characters that go against the grain.
