Simple fix: Change the apperance of the character when shrunken but retain the paperdoll of the player as they would be non-shrunken.
the problem in reality is that when a player shrinks it shrinks their entire form, every layer. While this is neat it also breaks previously working mechanics by use of small forms + shrink items.

I'm not an expert on EQ2 game mechanics, but I believe that would screw up the collision code. Example, you go up to a flight of stairs, they are bigger than you, but since you retain the larger model while still being small then you run up the stairs flawlessly instead of having to jump up each stair.

Yeah, I'm sure it's the Z-axis preventing me from tab targetting a shrunken player in an open plain. GG Tranny. Hint: Spend less time acting female and talking to women about periods and more time PvPing, so you know what's going on~

Just remove it. I am not a roleplayer but for fuck's sake, what is up with all of these illusions/shrinks? I mean you pick a small race fine I get it, you get the advantage of that small race, but to take it even further and shrink past the size of a rock? Give me a fucking break. For PvP servers, it should be the second you engage in PvP combat, all illusions/size change items should be turned off.

fixed, next!

A) Fix the Problem with LoS issues

B) Nerf all shrink items.

Let's pretend for a minute we are in charge of the SOE dev team. To get into character stop pretending you give a shit about the players so long as they keep their subscriptions. Your entire job is maintain the bottom line for SOE. Do you...

A) Pay the devs by the hour for hours and hours of work that would have to go into fixing los issues

B) Fuck it, just nerf shrink items to shut people up.

I like being a ratonga when I PVP though.

As far as the "just remove it" attitude, I agree it would be an effective and easy fix to this current problem, but I think it'd be a slap in the face to the people who earned 4 year rewards first of all, and also I think they'd have to reimburse people for their LoN cloaks if they made them non-useable on the PvP servers.
