The Human

Let me tell you about an idea i had one day. I was running through Grater faydark and i had accedently attacked a nexus at the wizzy spires. Needless to say that i was killed Instantly. I was extreamly mad because i lost my exp. Through my hatered i studied the creature and i devised the most extravagant scheme ever. I was wondering if my fellow Citizens of norrath would aid me. Darkies and Lighties come together in a mass horde to take one down. "What's in it for me" a person might ask. Well i think that not only the feeling you get from uniting with all of the inhabitants of norrath to squash a common evil but a great possibilty of an uber pay off and Extream exp or maybe nothing just a cold hard defeat.I am not really sure if they drop anything or if they even give exp.They are most likely the least killed Npc in the game. I have heard of one or two being killed but to my knowlage no loot has ever been identified. There are only a couple of reasons why i have not been able to find the loot items either 1. The uber guild who took one down came up with an awsome item that they dont want to get nerfed because of 1000000 crying lowbies saying its too powerfull so they did not add it to new item lists 2. None of them have ever been killed 3. Normal Loot for lvl of mob 4. No loot :( Now i am not really sure yet of the master plan but i am thinking along the lines of a massive head on attack group attack at random with no aperant stratagey.A person could even make a mule char and lvl to 5 or 6 toe just for this battle.Toe to Toe with the Unchecked Evil of the world. Or i have got a more methodical aproach. Either way i could be just stupid or really tired but that is my idea and i am willing to set up shop on any server. e-mail me at massive_nexus_strike@YHAOO.COM if you have any ideas, you want to join (( lvl is of no importance 1-65 doesnt matter Class either warriors clerics shaman monks i am in need of warm bodies :) )) or you just want to flame about how stupid i am either way i will welcome your emails and i will try my very best to email you back .No matter what it says. More information on nexus is always welcome. E-mail me and give it a chance.



Happy hunting and good luck.

Right, the game is not only based on how powerful you may be able to get your character, but also the roleplaying aspect incorporated in the game. Many people choose to be ogre's and trolls because they want to be able to talk in the Troll and Ogre Dialect associated with the race. The same is for the Human race. I picked the Human race to start my warrior because I always invision myself as "the Human warrior mercenary who roams the lands causeing havoc or maintaining peace". The restrictions or benefits in skills should not motivate or detur (check spelling) anyone from chooseing their race, but should only be different based on what the fantasy world would have if the world of Norrath were acctually a real place. And yet it is in some aspects. I think this is what Verant was also trying to achieve in creating this game.

Yet, I could be way off. either way, it just makes sense to me.

Intricase

ther just a chalenge

i dont really think humans should be the ones able to be the most classes :( i dont like to play humans at all :) i play the dark elf and wood elf and high elf is all i play :P i wanted the wood elf or darkelf to be able to be most classes :)

I have to agree with the iskar, iskar are much more suited to be monks than humans. humans are the WORST class in the game IMO because they are SO average and blind. Iskar also have a higher regen rate, which makes them better melee classes, but i'll even admit the faction thing is a MAJOR downfall. I like elves... i want a dark elf monk!

Zuule, the theatre called, they need some fresh meat. You have more class than me? Because you play a Human? Haha. Firstly, this has no relation to the topic at hand, and is in every way false. If you want me to give you a one up, let's say you're more classy than I. Ok... Iksars are still better, and you look like an idiot for posting a response revolving around a personality dispute rather than a character dispute (no pun intended). You help the little ones? Wonderful. Iksars can help people too... hahaha. You're arguments are so...powerless, and completely devoid of any logic.

You're an overly dramatic idiot. Let's look at this logically. EverQuest is a game, so whatever makes the game most fun for you should be the course of action which you choose. If you honestly enjoy being the lesser race, the race that performs on a lower level than it's iksar counterpart, the race that SUCKS, then by all means play a Human Monk. I can't stop you.

Chances are, however, the majority of EverQuest players actually like making the most of their character. After all, the only point of EverQuest one can really grasp - the only purpose - is to advance a character and make him / her / it powerful. What better way to make a character powerful than to... gasp ... choose the most powerful race.

You mention challenge in your very confusing, clunky, and poorly written satire of a response. You want challenge? Humans aren't challenging to play. Just because they lack regeneration, 100 swimming, an innate AC bonus, and the Forage skill does not mean that they are inadequate for killing monsters, they are merely less effecient than Iksars. Perhaps a human monk would be challenging on a PVP server, because once on a PVP servere, the human's weaknesses shine through like a beaken. Regeneration is quite powerful in pvp when fighting players that do not nuke or deal immense amounts of fast damage.

Let's get right to it Zuule. In all probability you're mind was not able to even comprehend the previous posts I made, and I wouldn't give it to you to even read more than a paragraph of any of my analysis. But case in point - Iksars are better than Humans as monks. They simply gain more benefits, and the benefits that humans get are not currently very pertenant to the main aspects of EverQuest as it stands now, i.e. being Non KoS in freeport. Who cares? As a Monk you can just Feign Death around any zone in the game for the most part. And at this stage in the game most people are hanging out in indifferent zones such as Velious faction zones or Luclin (the Bazaar, etc.)

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather gain Regeneration, an AC bonus, Forage, 100 Swimming skill, some good shackle quests which yeild some powerful items at mid-high end levels, and infravision then some improved faction and one delay off of fists, which no player ever uses either (and you know that's true.) Humans are blind as bats, which granted is easily fixed with an item or spell, but no less is just another con to the Human race as a Monk.

You also mention appearence. This is where it becomes a matter of opinion rather than factual attributes or mathematic explainations and statistics. You like the way the Human looks better? More power to you; many people will tell you if you don't like your look in EQ you won't be happy, and that's what EQ is about - being happy. I, on the other hand, love the look of the Iksar. They look fit, powerful, fast, and aggressive. Humans look... idiotic. Of course that is just my opinion, and should not hold a baring on the choices of new players as to which race of Monk they choose.

If you wish to argue with me about this, bring it on, I thrive on the idiocy and ignorance of people who try to prove their own knowledge only to find it severely lacking. I will gladly debate this topic until the forum doesn't exist anymore, and when that happens I'll create a new one. The undeniable fact is that, in EverQuest's current state, Iksars make the most powerful (from a stistical and balancing point of view) Monks. As time goes on Humans may gain more benefits, but hell, time is running out, EQ2 is just around the corner.

I play a very experienced level 60 Monk, and contrary to what seems to be the popular belief of many of the fools that respond in this forum, I sure as hell know what I'm talking about. I wasn't powerleveled or twinked. I played my Monk at all levels of the game and noone has ever played my character. I know my Monk, and I know how he matches up to humans. There is not a person on this forum who has yet to make an intelligent argument, let alone an accurate one.

Bring facts or don't bring anything. You'll simply look foolish, otherwise.


Oh and P.S. Zuule, you don't need to go on a tangent about you loving not being uber, enjoying the "ghetto life." Just save your breath, we only need to hear a few words from you before the word "newb" flashes through our minds. At least that's my take.

Considering that there is this discussion, i think the humans are well balanced enough to fit in well with the game
