I've researched this issue since last night, and it appears it was handled correctly and fairly.  

Orestas 47 (currently) Monk
Vhayne 50 Necro-alt

Played EQ back in 2000 until about 2003ish, then back off and on since.  I mained a necro back then, and did a few raids in Classic, Kunark, and Velious.  Not a ton of experience raiding though.  Played for a while on previous TLP's, maining enchanters, bards, and SK.  

Experienced just about every other mmo out there, but wanted to "feel" that old EQ again.   This is my first time playing a monk, but I'm enjoying it immensely.  Pulling, while I'm fairly new to it (I still have a very hard time FD-splitting mobs), is a lot of fun, and keeps me busy.  So please bare with me while I learn a new skill, and forgive me for wiping the raids by accidentally pulling trains/dragons/battleships/etc. lol
