Honestly this change is amazing. I love the four random undead that are available to each necromancer and how they are tied to graveyards scattered across Thera. Massive thumbs up on this idea.
My one small negative to them is that there should be a way to stop using the poltergeist apart from dying.

you have the better your odds are. 67 hours is probably going to hinder the % of success

I had a whole lot of things going against me:
- low hours - cabal-less - low PKs (though I was kinda hoping this might help me from an Immortal POV)
Figured I'd rather roll the dice and have a 1/3 chance than waste 200+ hours for a 2/3 chance. I wanted to play a mummy, not a spectre. I figured they owed me at least one. I was wrong.

There are a couple players who have never even got a lich-quest (before Mummies and Wights existed) despite playing 1000s of hours as a necro.
I always figured that's why Scar introduced Mummies and Wights, because he felt ####ty for all the necros who just didn't catch a break the way the system was before.
And yeah, you can say that maybe he sucked at RP/PK and that's why he got no lich quest, or maybe (like situations today) maybe he was just missing his immortal, playing off hours, or just lost in the crowd (CF used to routinely have 75+ people playing most of the day...and a lot of them were amazing at PK/RP).
Edited to add: And what if it's Zulg and he just meant "Hey, ####sticks, I'm the god-damned Zulg. I coded this ####ing race, I spent hundreds of hours of my ####ing life to make these, so you're going to give me one, RIGHT, ####ING, NOW." I'd be cool with hooking Zulg up.

Without any explanation it just seemed like a whine.

But your attitude exemplifies the entitlement issues that I find so gross about a certain segment of the playerbase.
Thank you for contributing to the game.

No tone in text. Guy might not even be entitled whining, but instead cracking a joke of some sort.
Thank you for contributing to world hunger.

Yes it was a very weak joke I tried in light of losing my character. Obviously I need to work on my material to avoid offending certain segments of the playerbase.
Just to clarify; I don't believe I am entitled to anything (except the PBF which I have paid for immediately upon age death).

For what it's worth, your odds were a long way from 33% (1/3).

You definitely were. GLWYN.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if the odds were more than 33%.
If the odds were 0% due to an incorrect item then I'd have serious issues with the quest itself and the items I was asked to find.
We will see soon hopefully!

I had a 39% chance and there was likely not much room above that given my age/skills/explore/observe without an imm manually bumping it. The only likely contributing category I didn't have most of I would assume to be imm exp. while we perceive that to be huge based on the admins methodology I would bet it's not even top 3 factors of your chance

Am I missing something here?
Lich is for exceptional roleplay Mummy/Wight is for everyone else right? Surely reaching 51 is a reasonable entitlement given every other class can?
Why should someone on 67 hours get an almost impossible % chance at Mummy with the correct items? If not, what is the point of the items?
You can get in a cabal in much less time, You can get empowered much less time. Yet you are suppose to take on a horde of hero good aligns and play for 300 hundred hours for a 60% chance to remove your handicap and get the weaker undead form? And if that paladin does kill you, there goes your collected items (they might take that helm of brilliance, just might).
The timezone he plays he increases the player base numbers by 20% by being on, probably not a bad idea to give him a fighting % chance?
