Sure it is, you just have to cheat. :)

Please delete bad code. BTW Rivendell is also supposed to have another entrance from Misty Mountains region.

There wouldn't be much left if we deleted all the bad code though? Your entire character is probably at least 80% bad code. But, ok, fine. Let's do it!

Start with providing evils access to FBB equivalent, in form of Elrond, then you can delete 80% of me :P

But evil players and guilds already use the FBB and basically all other weapons found on evil NPCs? Or would you not kill the Orc Captain because he's evil aligned? The FBB can already be attained and wielded by players of any align.

If anything, the goodie NPCs carrying especially nice EQ should get an evil equivalent? Since many goodie guilds are much more heavily align-restricted than the evil guilds. But that sounds like a rather unrealistic thing to do though.

Regardless how you do it though, the evils have an advantage both when it comes to EQ hunting and grinding. So, I personally don't think we need to make that advantage bigger by providing more high-end equipment for evils only? But that's just how I feel about it. It's up to the liege of ME and the AoB to decide.

Are we not considering RP reasons anymore? How would AA tank Nazgul and how will they explain it to Mages?

On the other hand, there is more equip that is restricted to good align.

That's a fine attempt to derail again, so I'm not going to get into an argument on how a team of neidar and 3 calians performs compared to a team of AA and 3 DAs.

To be honest, the solution is simple - Balrog.
Yes, that dude nobody ever kills because his weapons are utter crap. Make both his whip and sword 60/60 2h undulling, and make him wield both in one hand. Now we're talking business.
