It's wrong to use any otherwise neutral adjective that describes a core aspect of how someone is born (their race, their sexual orientation ... heck even their height or mental disability) as a derogatory term.

Most English speakers can understand that when you do that, you're equating the way that person was born with a negative value ... in other words you're indicating that you believe that group of people are inferior, because you're using the word that describes them as a slur.
Because that person sees it that way. It's not what they like. Wouldn't it be more appropriate if using the word gay to describe something you don't like is pretty much neutral but say if you phrased it as "That game is gay like Loramin" would be describing them.

Because I think you are a bit fruity, tbh.

Me and Patriam have talked shit about each other many times. Him going on about dumb Rednecks and me normally countering it with something about Adobe. Big whoop. Trannies as well, magnet doing the dead skin mask thing.

Where were you, again, when someone like Patriam was talking about dumb rednecks? did you come swooping in like the gay avenger to correct the privileged minority that it is not nice nice to do that? no.. or please link where you did and I will take it back.

I think Iksar existed before any idea about how best to sell an expansion. And their AC boost is the only meaningful benefit they have that you can find in another race for most of their classes (regen is the same as Troll) and even that isn’t that meaningful.
Troll can't be necro, is where regen most valuable. And regen + ac makes noticeable edge for monk.

Nightvision. Before everyone and their twink had an ultravision item. Humans dont have that. Had to play with gamma cranked way up which is a pretty retarded way to bypass it.

AC bonus.

100 swim skill. Nice for a new player, less chance of drowning.

Regen. Always nice for the classes that have it. Gives iksar an advantage with monks and necros.

Advanced character model.

Forage. Again, one less thing for a new player to keep up with and need less returns to a city for food and water.

Iksars made both the monk and necro classes have pretty much one option if you wanna min/max, which raiders were all about. Before iksars, what mattered?

It adds bragging rights for snaggletooth nosepickers.

That's it.

Troll lives matter.

In all seriousness though untwinked Iksar have every advantage, and by thurg, again with fewer relevant armor restrictions. Ok. Maybe ogre gets sham.

My next project is to dig into Kraddoks vids. Thanks for.

Also I would love running around in velious on a max vshan ally n diety bard getting secrets about every other major player and group from the various dragons. Need to be Bard, diety Veeshan, and speak elder dragon or they just ignore u or get angry regardless of faction. Also just hailing a dragon without voulentearing a specific question or info with honorifics should have gotten every one eaten.

Wait, so because I haven't addressed every insensitive thing ever posted on this forum ... I'm a hypocrite, and it's ok for you to denigrate people based on facts they have no control over?

Just want to make sure I have this brilliant bit of logic straight.

Seems to me that is so, maybe you just prefer singling me out because I am white and rural because this like the second or third time we have done this little dance.

They literally wrote and entire language for Luclin. It was the peak of EQ's popularity which started to fall off mid PoP id say. Luclin is by far one of the best expansions but everyone is blinded by Cats on the moon and Bazaar but neglect to realize that AA's, majority of the raids and lore, and Beastlords made Luclin on of EQ's best expansions.
