A thread for the shorties

Hammering this horse to death, but with all the BST/BER talk I want to talk about those with the most-ignored plight on TLPs: The short hybrids and the frogs

Halfling Rangers (Luclin)
Halfling Paladins (Luclin)
Gnome Paladins (Luclin)
Gnome Shadowknights (Luclin)
Guktans [CLR, NEC, PAL, ROG, SHD, SHM, WAR, WIZ] (LoY)
Guktan Monk (COTF)

Please implement them all in classic. There is no lore justification, and to our understanding there is not a programming constraint that restricts the hybrids from being added to those races in classic. Frogs live in Rathe Mountains now so they could be added at any time. And almost no TLP player has even SEEN a froglok monk. Depriving TLPs of that comedy seems mean. Also, it would save us from the scourge of eyepatch humans.

Restricting races and classes that do not have a geographical barrier caused by an expansion is awful and makes the experience worse for those who want to play something they like, but have to wait months to years to even get to play them on their server of choice.

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, and this would transform EQ, no more gnomes please.

Those bald blights have been ruining our lands forever! GNOMORE should be the clarion call. If someone choose "gnome" as race in character creation , they should get a digital slap for bad taste!

I have never played a pally but if I was going to play a pally it would definitely be a gnome.

Honestly I never played a SK, Ranger, or Paladin in classic on any TLP, and the only reason is because I can't be a gnome or halfling. I only play short races.

100%. Waiting till Velious for knee high rangers is a crime.

you're lucky Verant screwed up and didn't make halflings and gnomes NPC monster races like they should have

Dwarf paladin?

Say no to gnomes!

Dwarves are only medium short! I need short short.

Ratonga/Chetari aren't an EQ1 race yet.

Hmmmm I was wondering what race to be for a pally, I think you may have just decided for me.

Trying to pick different races for each class....Wish I never started lol

To me Dwarfs make great clerics rogues and paladins

Rogue will be gnome, cleric will be high elf, I have my own reasons for those choices, but mainly for tradeskills.

YEAH EFF GNOMES *kicks a chair*

My general favorites

High Elf Enchanter

Halfling Druid

Dwarf Cleric

Gnome SK

Vah Shir Shaman

Human Bard

Ogre Warrior

Froglok Wizard

Wood Elf Ranger


Not really much of a fan of Paladin, Rogue, Necro or Magician

Did do a Necro Druid combo on Combine but much prefer a Enchanter with a druid.

I'm planning on playing around with personas, so I'm going to make them work for me. 1 char will have chanter, rogue, shaman, ranger, one of which needs to be a gnome so I decided on rogue as she won't be getting tinker mask, other masks will be available at some stage of the game, even if I have to wait until I can solo them.

Shaman is usually Vah Shir but I want to play around with Kunark quests and level her in Kunark so going Iksar this year.

Cleric I want to be able to imbue Emeralds so she has to be High elf.

Druid will be half elf for Planes Pebbles.

Ranger will be Wood Elf for fletching.

Enchanter is Erudite as I want someone on Odus.

Beastlord has to be Vah Shir. Love my kitty pet.

Been thinking about a human, but cannot decide on class. Bard might work, but not sure I want it on this account.

This is a good idea, lets make it available when the race is available or in classic, whichever is later!

Halfling Druid can imbue Plains Pebble and make Haversacks.

Hmm might need to rethink that one.

At least they don't live in sewer like the iksars do. Disgusting. Cabilis should just be turned into Norrath's landfill. We'd be better off.
