Mango Report post Posted July 16, 2007 Would be cool, or a way to chose normal races, with advantages of p2p races. Which would be paid for then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desertus Report post Posted July 16, 2007 Ive never bought p2p just because of the fact I didnt want to be orchan, drageoni or gnome. I like being a human. if there were possibility of having p2p advantages and still having f2p race then I'd pay for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I have a disadvantage pvp training with p2p chars and I have been thinking about taking one more than once, but like Desertus I like being a human too much. Nothing wrong with the other races tho, it just is'nt me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enly Report post Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I wanna be a penguin  I heard something about minotaurs but i am not sure.Blood elves or night elves would be nice  Go play world of warcraft then I personaly enjoy the orginality of the races of orchan and draegoni, I think it would be fun to have more orginal EL races if any are added (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and draegoni and orchans arn't orginal races, but I've sure never heard of them before EL) Edited July 17, 2007 by Enly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted July 17, 2007 Draegoni are original afaik. Orchans aren't really that original, since they're taken from the Orc idea, and I also referenced them after other Orc-type races from other books. The name afaik isn't used anywhere else though.

draegox Report post Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) Cat People, Shadows (semitransparent), Snake People, Eagle People, Forest Dwellers, ect… Another neat thing would be a race of only one gender, like the Amazons. Only females could be those. ;D Edited August 15, 2007 by draegox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 19, 2007 Cat PeopleFurries? Not original anyway.Shadows (semitransparent), Snake People, Eagle People, Forest Dwellers, ectLikewise, and would look odd, IMO.Another neat thing would be a race of only one gender, like the Amazons. Only females could be those. *Glances at siggy.* ;D Oh, puhlease... The stereotypical amazonian warrior is wearing very little and has idealised dimensions... While giving the impression that what society considers to be the idealised woman doesn't play games isn't a good idea, it's better to more accurately represent women...Having female characters as something for the Horny Net Geeks to drool over doesn't do anything to help the cause of the female geek (or other females, for that matter). (This should not be taken as derogatory towards those women who like the sexual attention, but I'm pretty sure they aren't the majority.) Luckily, Roja seems to do her best to cover this (well, we're all reasonably fit in EL, but other than that...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frogimus Report post Posted July 19, 2007 I think an upgraded human p2p would be nice. It would give the xenophobes a p2p race that could be separated from the "combat book" advantage. Possibly a slightly better physique (not the attribute) and different clothing style. Â BTW, the xenophobe comment was meant jokingly. No flames please.

Mugwump Report post Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Instead of new races, how about more options of appearance. The new hats and hair colors are nice, but I have a Drow character who needs spectacles, and a human druid who is too skinny to be me! Alternative body/face shapes and basic clothing styles would make the gang around the storage look more like individuals. I suppose something like three body styles for each race would affect the clothing and all else multiplying the data on the server and clients too much, but a few simpler things maybe not so. Â For instance, I would prefer a happier face on Mugs, and an evil grin on Komiyan (my Drow.) Oh, yeah and the glasses, he keeps walking into trees.... Â Oh, and Roja. There is no critisism here! You have done and are continuing to do the most fantastic job with this game and deserve mega-cheers!! Edited July 24, 2007 by Mugwump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
