It is past time we were allowed shortie hybrids

I for one would love to see the project taken to PoP.... I know I'm in the minority however.

You really aren’t though.

As the most recent changes have shown the real reason people play here is because it’s free and it’s a high population server with minimal boxing. People really aren’t clinging to the Velious era that much.

Which means you guys should really be over on TAKP forums trying to convince them to open a no-box server instead of pushing for that stuff here. That seems like a much more sensible approach to me.

My point is don’t ask for shit that happened out of era unless you want to accept all of it.

You want Cycle Target Hotkeys, accept Luclin, PoP, LoY, LDoN and GoD.

You want pet window and hybrid shorties, accept Luclin.

People picking and choosing stuff is non-sense on classic servers. There’s thousands that play here, everyone’s picks will be different and you’re never going to please everyone so the best and most logical option is to go whole hog. Accept everything in an era or accept none of it.

GoD is really where I think the deviation from classic begins, though it was one of the best raid expansions once it got a tuning pass IMO.

I agree.

I will agree to disagree with the last bit. Cohesion started falling apart with Kunark imo. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some have asked for boxing, you can probably find threads/comments if you search. But yeah I have had people in game tell me the reason they play is because its free. Its a good thing the devs here, while liberal with some things, are not with others. Once you open that gate... good luck closing it!

Yes yes and yes! I think what people fail to realize is how hard it is to start a server. Like even if you could magically hire Rogean and Nilbog to do all the technical work for you (good luck with that), there's still a HUGE amount of work needed to build community, support the server etc.

This place is NOT as successful as it is because everyone who plays here shares R&N's obsession with classic EQ! To the contrary, I truly think the vast majority would like to see Luclin and PoP. Hell, most people left around LDoN (as that's when WoW came out), so R&N are kinda "freaks" (in a sense, among the set of all people who played EQ back in the day) for leaving after Velious.

But the critical thing that they've done, that neither TakP nor any other server has managed to do, is build a real community (which all but requires no boxing). That's all it would take to steal half or more of the players here away: a decent community, and any expansion P99 doesn't have ... but if it were easy to do someone (TakP or whoever else) would have done it long ago.

Ha, so I have to take back what I think I said somewhere in this thread about never having seen R&N weigh in on these class/race combination. In fact, Nilbog has ... almost exactly a decade ago, when he first announced P99 Blue:

So maybe they've changed their mind in the decade since (I'm not sure the R&N of ten years ago would have allowed pet windows, for instance, so there may still be hope), but for now it seems clear that the expectation is such class/race combos will never exist here, unless R&N make an about face.

Throwing my support behind our citrusian sister. The Vale has a rich history of zealous propagation of hobbit creed and warriors whomst choose to openly worship false deities, should not be barred from integrating their faith with the good work they do.

The prohibition on hobbit rangers and paladins is a gross display of religious bigotry and should not be tolerated! Rogean, kindly correct this iniquity.

Many thanks,

a hobbit
