Brother, Neighbor, college friend, someone in pasadina you don't even
know... Its a game. You happen to play with your brother, that's
wonderful, however EQ is still a game. For you, the ability to
play a game together means you can spend time together. That
is wonderful. This doesn't make EQ more than a game. EQ didn't exist
9 months ago, at some date in the future, EQ will not exist. I hope
you have a contingency plan ready, because EQ is not life, or a way of
life, it is simply a game you enjoy together. Joke all you want that
it is life, fine, no problem. But when you read a post where someone
seriously thinks it is more than a game. Please step back from it
and think about it.

IF EQ was perfect, or something you've been doing for tens of years
and nothing had ever changed on it, then you would have a much better
argument. However we can clearly see that monks aren't being singled
out, almost every class is being tuned every month. This one was
slightly major.

But enough is enough. Shit happens and we adjust. This mailing list
is not about these kinds of posts or this kind of thread.

The purpose of this list is to distribute information about Monks to the players of EverQuest. Spoilers may be included so read at your own risk.

The purpose of this list is NOT to be a vent for your fustration.
