In all sincerity, why in the world, after 15 years, would they even THINK about adding a new race/class combo? In addition, it is exquisitely clear that the person or persons involved with this are completely bereft of ANY knowledge about the lore upon which the game was conceived.
As for the various choices, frankly they are beyond laughable! But this is what you get when you create by committee. :(
Further, when one considers that, over the years, the developer's complained that creating a new race/class combo would involve literally thousands of collateral changes to the game, I am utterly amazed that they have apparently devoted hundreds of hours, if not more, development time to this travesty while seeming to continue to ignore the literally thousands of bugs that infest the game.
This is how they celebrate a 15th anniversary? Good grief! How sad! :(
Race and Class Combo Clash: Round One
A bracketed player vote will determine which race/class combination will make its EverQuest debut this coming March. Round One has begun!
For the epic 15th Anniversary we’ll be adding a new race and class combination to EverQuest and we wanted to include YOU in this decision! To do this, we’ll be running a multiple round event, where players can vote daily for the race and class combinations that they want to see.
Let your voice be heard! Check out what options there are for you to vote on this round:
Dark Elf Bard vs. Erudite Rogue
The Teir’Dal race recognizes music’s potency, and its value to enhance their dark endeavors. Will that make a Dark Elf Bard a superior choice to an Erudite Rogue?
Outmaneuvering and outthinking your enemies requires true intelligence and quick thinking. Erudites could bring quite a lot to the rogue business.
Dark Elf Ranger vs. Vah Shir Druid
It is only natural that classes with a connection to the environment around them leave their home cities to explore all the new places being discovered in far off lands. It is known to all Teir’Dal Rangers that nature is most powerful in the dark corners of the world.
On the other hand, Vah Shir Druids have a strong connection to nature, the planet and all of its protectors. Which of these champions of the environment would you like to see in-game?
Players have until the start of the next round to vote on these match ups.
