Can reincs be moved back to offering undead races? Smaller playerbase is
making it difficult at best to get reanimations. Alternately give both reincs
and reanimations access to all races. It would stay balanced and actually give
priests a reason to study the spell. Plus more access to reincs/reanimations
means more exp/cash out of the game.

How about raising the benefits of casting these spells? I think last time I
reanimated someone it cost like 700 sps and gave me 50k exp or something
retarded. Why in the world would people bother to cast these spells (reinc
included) when they give NO benefit whatsoever and have a very hefty downside
(i.e., you fumble and you get REINCED yourself, talk about bullshit). Most
players don't even bother studying them because they are so useless. Compare
this to ress/bodying, which offers players sometimes megs of exp a day and
gold from pulling people out of hell. I suggest upgrading the benefits of
reinc/reanimate to like 500k-1m exp...that could make studying the spell
worthwhile and wouldnt be particularly unbalanced, as you don't cast too many
of the spells /week.

Blayke makes some great points - as usual. Remove the fumble chance from
both of these spells. Give reanimation a rare reagent, making it harder than
the Tarm reinc, but also a larger exp bonus and the ability to reanimate
any race and have the same effect as a normal reincarnation spell from
tarm guild.
Also, I mean jesus. With the player base the way it is.. Would it be such a
travesty to allow 1 free exp and cash reinc if you've been in the reinc a
year?

You already get exp free reinc if you stay in reinc a year. Money doesn't
really matter (to me at least) so as far as I'm concerned it is exactly as you
specify already ;)

Hi!
There are actually quite many active priests around currently. The thing you
just need to do is to drop us a tell directly (or in mine and couple others
case, our secondaries) to actually make sure you get one. We idle alot and we
also play our secondaries alot because being a main full priest has some
serious drawbacks.. Anyway, dont hesitate to drop us a tell!
