Aruspex,
Thanks - that was what I was hoping to hear. It just didn't make sense from an effort vs reward calculation and I expected the answer is "it just hasn't been addressed YET due to priorities" - and that's a fine answer by me.
I am not sure I will be one of those people benefitting from the later diplo horses due to the fact that I LOVE PVE this is why I am here, I trust the developers involved in this to give me a content-filled and ever expanding game, I fell in love with EQ1 not cos it was my 'first' but because of the dynamic nature of it and the constant attempts to tweak and balance / expand it while holding onto a 'plan' (I avoided the oft-used word ;P) in spite of the myriad of complaints and people wanting an 'easier XXX' I believe these games are made to be enjoyed of course, but I find that when a company tries to 'balance' classes or other things based on complaints from the field or to statify squeaky wheels - we end up homogeonizing (I'm not gonna look up how to spell that ;P) classes or whatever is being worked on (ex: DAoC early days as the various 'realms' became one...with diff graphics)
I'm willing to trust that you guys will make us look back at the road and say it was a great trip even if sometimes the road ahead looks dubious.
So don't mind me when I bitch, sometimes I am gonna be right other times I'll be wrong and I hope I call attention on things that I am concerned about but I want to stress that I am so far (since Feb or so) really loving my time here.
Keep making Diplo interesting! You may drag me along, I have a 45 and a 52 so far and I don't even really care for the card game thing. It is not a 'dis' - it's really a matter of taste, my good friend Draygin is LOVING this and he was a hardcore EQ Cleric of old... fast leveler and all that, he is still 12 and working Diplo instead (with much less time than in his younger days tho)
I gotta say I do not for a moment regret the time 'wasted' (from a leveling perspective) on my DE, that storyline was rip-roaring fun hehe - you really got to feel e-ville. (Kudos also on the Kojani intro...) Please grats to the mind behind that line.
I figure I will do the intro once for all races I make (which is many since I have 2 accouts) so I can enjoy the work put into those storylines. I prob won't get too far after b/c doing those card decks constantly losing until I find the 'trick' for a particular (cheater!) npc is too frustrating to me (and prob bad for my faction now that I am up to Civic lol) but that is just me...I can't seem to get into analyzing it and enjoying that aspect.
Prob why I felt the horse should have been better, 'cos I pulled my hair more than once on it
BTW - for my 2nd horse (DE)... I made it with only! 11 secs to spare... thought my first(Varanjar) to 3 rivers was bad (3mins left) ... took a screenie and nearly lost it cos of the pause LOL...
