Ryu Kamen had this to say about Matthew Broderick:

Their king is downright huge. He's also wearing hair extenders. Looks cool though, and I love a guy that can pull off long hair.


That's his mane, he's a Lion. Makes perfect sense that the KING would be a LION.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Iksars are medium-large. Larger than, say, humans... But not large enough to smash/bash/crash/whatever. (Thus allowing monks, as I don't think they'll ever be a large race monk)

Um, this has already been said, but bears repeating, since you said something utterly wrong with authority (not that I never have, but I'll admit it when it's proven) but iksar are not medium/large, they're MEDIUM. PERIOD. They can only wear medium armor, can not wear a single piece of large armor, ever (unless it's one of the rare pieces tagged medium/large or a special large piece overrided to allow some non-large races to wear it). Stand an iksar next to a human, they're almost exactly the same size. Maybe slightly bigger, but not by much, certainly not by enough to ever think of them as medium/large. And the obvious fact that they can't wear large armor confirms this. By all criteria that matters, they are clearly medium.

Final word on armor sizing:

Small only: dwarves, gnomes, halflings

Small/Medium: dark elves, high elves, wood elves

Medium only: erudites, half elves, humans, iksar

Medium/Large: barbarians, vah shir

Large only: ogres, trolls

And that's all there is to say. Still doesn't explain why barbarian beastlords can't wear wu's, but that's part of the mystery of EverQuest. Or at least that's what Verant always says when someone points out a bug or mistake they don't have an explanation for! Whatever, I'm declaring this horse officially dead, if you have any qualms about beating a dead horse, this is when to cease the beatings.

I saw a Wu's shirt on a vendor today...

Class: MNK BST
Race: HUM IKS BAR VAH OGR TRL

It looks like Wu's is One-size-fits-all now

Theory 2:

Since Vah Shir are noble, they don't believe in cheapshots

Iksar are only taller than humans, not thicker, hence being medium, not large. End of that discussion.
