I hope you're right. I plan on rolling a melee. But I think a lot of people who got used to playing their melee twinks on Blue are in for a rude awakening on Green. It's a night and day difference playing twinked vs untwinked melee. I'm talking literally it might as well be an entirely different game. And that includes even modest twinking with HP rings, Banded-tier armor and cheap Kunark weapons. The brutality of classic EQ on untwinked melee classes cannot be overstated. Those early levels are hellish. A 10/22 Sword of Skyfire is literally a throwaway item on Blue. On Green that is Planar-level gear. That is the level of difference I'm talking. It's gonna be very rough going for awhile.

I will be making a ogre sk and a ogre shaman. I voted as sk. I dont think it will be hard to find a group as sk tank, and it definately wont be hard to keep a group as one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

If one was to randomly select class/race/deity, should it be random class, then random race, then random deity? Or weight each of the 245 combos equally?

If you're going to go random, race then diety then class.

I say race - class - deity to ensure compatibility

Shit I may do this too cuz I'm totally stumped on what I wanna play. Always wanted a high level Druid so I'm leaning that direction but maybe I'll bust out the DnD dice to decide for me....

This is also true of Tanks, and especially Warriors, for all you min maxers out there who want this slow as snails game to be a slightly less slow as snails game.

Even though race seems more natural choice to roll first, you are very likely to end up with a warrior or rogue that way, and very unlikely to end up with a bard or shaman.

Rolling class first ensures you have a equal chance for each class. I just look at the "sortable race/class/diety maxtrix on the forums, sort by class, and use the sequencing there.

So many Enchanters that are going to re-roll once they figure out that it is very difficult to solo when you have your newbie robe on and no other gear.

THIS^^

So many people always complain that there aren't groups or that their class isn't "group friendly" or they have an experience penalty or something else.

NOW is the time to play the class that you always wanted to play, but "couldn't" because of some kind of excuse you had. Play it while the masses are all together and need to group! Play it at launch!!
