Not taking 1.5x as long to hit 60 on your first character is huge, not to mention that necros can get to 60 faster than almost any other class just with how fast they can solo. You can level to 60 quickly and cheaply then farm gear either for yourself or other toons or just for cash. And since you didnt actually spend much on your necro you can reroll later as an iksar if you want to. | |||

But look I was not trying to start yet another race debate here; there are already a million of them already. I was simply trying to explain that most people do not find it so easy to level to 60 twice, and as a result they may experience "race regret" when their human necro (or human monk, or non-ogre shaman, or ...) hits 60 and all the other races have some cool power while they're stuck with a useless XP bonus. Many people on this forum have been in that position, and I'm sure they'd all say that warning new players of it is reasonable. Also, I'm not at all against the idea of leveling a quick-leveling race/class up and then using that character to farm stuff for other characters. But not everyone wants to create a first character with that goal; some plan to keep playing that character as their main for years. Finally just in case it's not clear, I'm a level 60 Barbarian Shaman (either the worst or second worst Shaman race depending on who you ask), and I have no regrets. "Race regret" is a real phenomena, but it most certainly does not affect everyone who creates a sub-optimal race character.

Size does matter, no matter what they say! Oh shoot. I forgot, ogre can't be necro. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Well. I agree with Loramin, try to choose race wisely, most people don't want to go down the same 60 lvl road again, even if it's on a preferred race later on. | |||

You would only have to relevel if you cared about min and maxing. I would assume that starting with a 40% exp penalty would slow the game down enough to make a lot of new players actually quit. This same line of thinking would suggest starting a halfling druid first due to the ability to make money from porting and it is even faster to 60 with the exp bonus. However i think a human necro would out level a halfing druid anyway. | |||

If you hit 60 on a non-iksar and actually find it not a big deal that's reassuring to someone who doesn't really want to roll iksar necro, but feel they might regret it later if they don't. Good to know. | |||

There's some necros I know who'd laugh at the statements that iksar regen is negligible at top level. But tbh it was more important in Kunark when people actually grouped in Seb and shit, not what we have now where people just log in due to a batphone for 15 minutes then log out.

Anyone who laughs that iksar regen is negligible at lvl 60 either hasn't leveled a necro other than iksar or just hasn't played at lvl 60 for very long. Not that its the easiest thing to get, but the VP necro staff also makes race choice irrelevant. | |||

Monk is the best solo class. And keeping weight down makes it like a survival game! ^_^

I'm calling bullshit on this unless you did almost nothing but come home from work every day and play EQ. How could you ever be active and maintain relationships during those two months? Unless I'm missing something there...2 months to 60 is insanely fast if you had no outside help (plvling, twinking, etc). | |||

It amazes me how you guys always hijack these threads with race wars and level 60 considerations. The thread isn't titled "LF end game necro advice".
