Everquest has open digress with other races/religions/&classes.. I never saw DMO promote a unhealthy hatred towards any specifics group of people. They equally through roleplay disliked the antonicans.

~~~Hoesntly~~ (why I will be banned for posting this) The staff is pussy whipped by racists into banning an agenda that goes against the lore of norrath.

Right, DMO was breaking lore because it was never about lore. In the game world, Erudites are timid bookish nerds. DMO? They were just shitty edgelords masquerading as roleplay.

Hope this helps!

Tell that to the erudites in Paineel.

Everyone I knew in DMO individually were fine upstanding members of the green community, yet somehow people tried their hardest to pin labels on the guild tag.

Can you honestly say the petitionquest guilds reflect how EQ should be played? Something to think about.

Few guilds have ever been disbanded on here, to my knowledge, not even Lord Bob. Guilds made to change their tags? Yes. Suspended? Yes. But disband? No.

That great guild didn't even get the first two options. Explain?

Whatever the reasons were I'm glad there's been peace and unity on green ever since the bad men went away.

Erudites aren't allowed to assemble together in a guild, it upsets people.

Actually people that are ok with naming characters Basketball and Watermelon are pretty clearly racist Fks. Good ridence to the racists. Maybe they can find a Russian game to play.

But Verant has Dark Elf clerics healing and resurrecting even though Dark Elves are evil so badly thought through OP Iksar regen is understandable with that mentally.

Res spells aren't really cannon in MMOs and are mainly just for player convenience. I can't think of a single instance in EQ where someone was brought back from the dead outside of possibly some extreme magical ritual. IIRC, WoW was the first time something like that was encountered with Whitemane and Mograine in Scarlet Monastery. However, even in WoW there were plenty of times a friendly NPC gets killed and it results in perma death despite there being a healer standing next to them.

Trying to rationalize Res spells in this game and who gets to use them is about as folly as trying to rationalize the in game lore behind corpse runs.

Spirok in Plane of Sky have a couple of mobs that will rez the others.

On topic: low iksar int and mr has got them mindcontrolled into believing they are superior to Erudites.

Verant logic: A Erudite is vastly more intelligent than a Lizard yet at the same fundamentally inferior when it comes to Necromancy. What's the point of being intelligent if you can win by being stupid instead?

If you were going to pick another race for Necromancer it would be Erudite for the special items (Noclin's Femur is cool if you like to collect things) and the high INT but they're saying INT is unimportant to the Necro and what really matters is having a lesser parasitic draw so you need to recharge yourself less often and the less parasitic draw you have the greater the Necromancer you are so in the mix-max mind Iksar Necro > Erudite Necro which makes no sense from a Lore aspect.

Erudites are intelligent and Lizards are dumb and bcause intelligent people SHARE knowledge and stupid people want to keep it to themselvs to gain an unfair advantage like the Iksar do it means the Erudites taught the Iksar Necromancy so Erudites should be just as good as Iksar...at 60 all Necro should be equal.

I would loved to have been a fly on the wall for the initial design meeting for the Iksar race.

Designer 1: "I've got a great idea. Let's create a new race and give them innate regen and make them Necromancers".
Designer 2: "Won't that make all non-iksar Necromancers obselete?"
Designer 1: "Yes, isn't it great?!"

Of course the designer was thinking ahead knowing that such balances would be fixed in future expansions but it's a great way to promote Kunark. New races and classes also get special treatment early on.

On P99 that special treatment remains FOREVER unless further expansions are released.
