Why are Erudites even an option if you're punished just for being one?

Evil should be hated everywhere not rewarded for being evil and players shouldn't be forced to roleplay an evil race if there is good and evil on offer which in EQ there is..supposedly.

Good should not be penalised for being good and nobody should be forced to play an evil race.

Human Monks should be innately on par with Iksar Monks while both still having unique and interesting racial traits. Humans don't even get any racials what more proof do you need that there is a bias towards evil in this world?

how many were pioneers, engineers, business men, lawyers, doctors?

how much was actually contributed in us vs them terms?

what about the 600,000 whites that died to free them?

how can we determine fairly, accurately and without infinite legal dispute who exactly is entitled to them? who is going to pay for all the ancestry tests? will the cost of issuing as accurately as possible them far outweigh the actual reparations paid?

these are the questions that remain for me. I think there's enough give and take to call the spread covered tbh.

Erudites are not an evil race.

...

Erudites understand the boundaries of keeping a civilised society and while they prefer not to socialise with those outside their own race, are quite capable of interacting on good terms with others.

I want to edit my original title.

Erudites Matter

Choice Matters.

Forcing somebody to be an evil lizard monk is anti-choice when they should be able to choose to be a good huan monk instead and they should NOT be penalised for that decision.

If you penalise Human Monks just for being Human Monks then choice has been destroyed.

The Iksars are the racists not the humans. Why do the racists make better Monks when monks are all about enlightenent?

Human monks get better plain fist ratio and faction.

They're also viable as a snow flake pick.

Then there's lore/rp'ing purposes, god forbid we care about any of that. I mean taking on the challenges of a character in a fantasy world, working around penalties and succeeding lol.

The level of "I can't/can only imagine" is reaching record highs.

Yes, that's my point.

Erudites are less capable Necromancers not because they're black (that probably helps them a bit) but because they are 1) not racist 2) a good race 3) More human looking 4) stylish.


It's one of those 4 why Iksar make better Necromancers but when you factor in Monks too then it's obviously number 2 as to the reason why because Humans an Erudites both have GOOD in common and they both get screwed by Iksar design.

It's a subliminal way of getting you to choose evil which is stupid because evil is hate everywhere and EQ is a social game.

What does this conservative bullshit have to do with video games?
