    Why or why must they lock the original starting areas in favor of the nonsensical starting areas?  Actually I know exactly why, but really, how would humans, high elves, Frogloks, or any other races no without a racial starting area actually begin their journey through Norrath in Halas, Kelethin, or Timorous Deep?

    That just bugs me for some reason.

     

    Btw, do players still have the option to use the original shaders?  Not sure why they thought it would be a good idea to upgrade the graphics to a game that already runs like crap anyway, but I've known about this coming for months now.

    Yeah, original shaders can still be used.

    It isn't just you. I have a fully updated account and can't access it either. My thinking was maybe a custom GUI, but that seems improbable.

    Halas area is for neutral and good aligned characters only.  You weren't rolling up a DE were you?  Its not like I would have made that mistake myself  image
