Can you change dietyFollow

#1 Mar 24 2004 at 8:26 AM Rating: Decent
I have a barbarian warrior that is Agnostic. Is their a way for him to change his religous belief so that he can wear cultural armour (barbarian stuff is limited to a God).

Someone once mentioned to me that their was a quest to do this, if so can someone post a link to it.

Thanks

There is currently no way to change diety, and SOE personnel have said in that past that there were no plans to introduce such a feature.

No.

Can anyone explain why? seems like a natural thing that a person can change their belief system as the grow as an albeit fictional character. I mean I can change my face with the click of a button but I cant change what I believe/who/what I worship? There should probably be some sort of quest associated with the change and the quest would have to be according to their lvl. This would I think stop those that want to change religions every other day depending on which piece of gear they wanted to wear. I am in the same boat as the original poster. Agnostic warrior. I am currently paying the price as I cannot wear the much better cultural armor associated with different deities. Wasnt there something along these same lines associated with becomeing non PVP on the blue servers before? may even still exist.

One Problem:
Diety-specific gear.
Lets say you are wearing gear only for followers of diety X.
Lets say there is a way to change your diety.
You change to diety Y.
All your equipment suddenly becomes de facto useless - but it is still equiped so a way to chage your diety would also involve unequipping all your stuff, including NoDrop-Items.
So, lets add the clever guys to the schematics - they fill all their backpacks so the now forcibly unequipped stuff would drop to the ground to be scooped up by someone else or would land on their cursors.
Then add those guys who do the quest completly clueless about the outcome - can you already hear them screaming "/petition" ? - Yes, these are the folks who give books to Priests of Discord and stuff...

DonĀ“t ask me, but a lot of trouble and fiddling with the sourcecode seems to be involved...

It would trivialise much of the game. Being able to swap deities to enable you to go to places and then swap back when you'd done the quest or whatever.

And precisely your situation - "I can get better armour if I swap deity". Doesn't that sound wrong?

Religion in EQ is a permanent thing. Not like RL where yoou can be a Buddhist this week and a Catholic the next.

While I seriously doubt SOE will change/add anything for such a thing (especially if it involves anything for new players/low lvl toons), I do like the premise of it be a lvl-based quest. Probably could be worked into the Priests of Discord. Give them trigger phrases that would allow someone to quest to change diety. Allbeit, I would recommend it be a difficult quest for any level, and possibly give background on that diety.

Varillian seems to have the best grasp on the subject... Thats the only reason I could think of for why they wouldn't allow us to change.
