Benefits of being a Hero(rank 51):
1. If in a cabal, you can locate your/other cabal items. (So you know who to raid)
2. Locate object/equipment. Some hero rank equip is pretty nice, and you only know if it's in if you take the long trek and look, or gain that 51st rank and go 'c lo object'
but these are mage/cleric benefits only.
3. It's the only way you can Imm.
Other than that, It's a mixed blessing.
I remember about a year ago when they made all heros in range of each other.
Some players were mad, because they felt that they played a heavy exp-penalty char (Ex:storm-paladin), so that they didn't have to mess with human hero-thieves, or the like.
Others (of course) we're happy to have the extended range of victims to prey on, or the added challenge.
That's about it though. A benefit if you're a serious PKer, a mage, a caballed mage, or an IMM-wannabe.
Other than that, I can't really think of a good reason to hero.
