Return of Reckoning

Otherwise, any news about the DPS rework? I’m not denying the work that’s been done—quite the opposite—but the fact that some classes can have it all while others end up being nothing more than sub-classes doesn’t feel very fair to me. But maybe that’s just my mistaken interpretation... or maybe not.

You're not mistaken. Some classes can only do 1 or 2 things somewhat good/well/ok. And others, namely the high elf classes, can do and be whatever the hell they want. Offering tons of freedom.

High Magic on my Archmage dont get consumed when it hit 5 points.

As it should be. High elves are better than everyone else.

"You deserve the whip!

Of course, HE are the best mages, but unfortunately their tailors and clothing designers should be hanged
I beg the devs for some tunics that AM men could wear with pride. Some simple designs without ridiculous puffed sleeves and wide sleeves.
Maybe someone knows where to get a good-looking tunic?
I haven't seen one yet.

I wish I could just wear some pants on my HE classes.

Now that Challenge stacks with Guard DMG reduction, could we also RE-introduce Abilities and Tactics like Raking Talons stacking with Guard / Challenge? It did for most of the time but has been changed at some point (as far as I know without being pointed out specifically).

It's been mentioned before. The developers don't care about your opinion; they have a plan, and if you don't like it, you can create your own server. I wonder: how many players would be willing to join a pure, unmodified server?

Actually very very few, you will be very surprised how low that number is. For example you can google UOGames projects. It died out quickly not having even ~30 people online somewhat resembling "consistently". Also there is completely opposite example, other fully modified server (nothing from AoR, literally different game with this engine and graphycs) havent even seen the light of day, buried, long lost and sad forgotten.

So, RoR was and staying as the only serious project of AoR. There is absolutely nothing else. Also the amount of work that has to be put into building a new one is that great that unless RoR dies out (which is plain impossible) there will be no other project.
