So the EQ death penalty becomes even more a thing of the past. I always felt the feath penalty, harsh as it was in the beginning, was a key feature that made old EQ great.

I think this is excellent.

I am tempted now to activate my druid.  I love to duo with druid.  I sometimes use a Shaman or Cleric, but I prefer Druid:  spells, ports, etc.

The corpse still is there but the gear is not.  This is a great, and important, change.  Besides, at least in my view, since the ability to summon corpses, leaving items on a corpse is not even necessary.

 Seriously...is this a joke? I'm never resubbing ever again...ridiculous....

If i was still playing this game id be upset but since im not ill let this one slide. because i played a cleric on EQ back in 2000 and that was our thing rezing. then these fags paladins come along and get to rez too. EH BULLShytza. I was deeply upset when hell levels were removed for 30 35 40 45 because it happed when i finaly got my guy up to 46. Yeah i was a slow leveler didnt get much time to play i didnt have my own puter and had DIAL UP.  Eh just make everyone level 70 or 75 on character creation EQ devs this lowbie level up crap now is unnecassary. Or at least give a option level up to 70/ 75 no skills got work em up and be a sucky ass but we can actually play with people if you get my drift.

The cleric was always a (1) heal bot and (2) res bot.

The Clerics need "more" and things will work well. 

can druid and shammy heal at the same level as cleric yet?

That's very interesting, who would have thunk it?

I'd like to add that having three characters on Firinoa Via is nice as well.

impressive, impressive indeed
