Musician Archive

I see it as this:

Entertainer/Dancer/Musician have a limited role in combat now. We used to:

1. Heal mind wounds
2. Heal battle fatigue
3. Provide musician/dancer buffs to increase the mind pool.

As the Mind pool was obliterated and battle fatigue is pretty pointless now (Especially now it is gone), our role is strictly to entertain.

So if you're playing musician for any role other than to entertain, then you're going to be in for a very big disappointment. It's basically a roleplayer class now, or at least until they add a viable reason for us, as entertainers, to provide the combat community.

MMOG's focus around smashing and bashing monsters in. Whether it be midevil, future, or modern day. That's how the industry works. A lot of people think entertainers are fruity classes and boring because they:

1. Don't make money

-and-

2. Can't fight

That leaves this class to roleplayers. Fortunately... I play on Kettemoor where there is a strong roleplay community. I can make a living from being an entertainer. It requires hard work and a lot of attention. I could probably make a lot more money if I were a full combat class. But... I enjoy the social interaction being an entertainer brings.

Things may or may not look up for us. But I tell you this... I'm riding this entertainer/musician thing out until the very end.

Let's just hope there isn't one.
