No. On so many levels, NO.

They have been totally unable to balance the current classes and races. This would only make the mess worse. What would this be overpowered or underpowered?

ok first, everyone here that is saying no to it ARE commenting on race and classes. They are just responding that the race and classes should NOT be introduced. While you do not like that they have a negative opinion on the idea... they are on topic.

Second, While I think this is a good idea... for MOST games.... it is not right for RoM at this point in time, place, and space. As others have brought up new classes/races would unbalance the game and RW has shown an inability to balance these in the past with years to implement changes. This would mean the classes would be OP or UP for a Long period of time and upset the game dynamics more.

Third, again while I think this is a neat idea again the problem of RW comes up. Lets not forget they didn't ever introduce female dwarfs and used a storyline twist to make it seem ok that RW either 1) didn't want to make them, 2) wanted to save time by not making them, or 3) didn't care to make them. This would not bode well for any new race or class introduction.

Fourth, If these issues could be addressed, I think that new classes/races could be nice... especially if they are accompanied with more zones to quest in (I am ALWAYS for that). A zone that takes you from 50-70 for instance to help the new classes get up fast for anyone rerolling.

There is a lot of work to making new classes: New elites and new skills would take a long time to develop (without them seeming cookie cutter). While I think this would be cool and might give a new jolt into the game... I doubt RW has the time, intention, or care to do it... let alone do it correctly.

I helped create the overall game concept to begin with back in HS...

My BS meter is ticking dangerously high...

I think your definition of RW and mine are greatly different....


RW- Runewaker... the ones that program the game... is what I was referring to.

Cute Yrcanos..

So, you want on topic, .. on topic it is. The number of current combinations of caster, healer and/or dps is more than enough. If the one you are playing is no longer exciting or interesting, pick a new combination from the existing races FIRST (you know, human, elf dwarf). Then, create several characters using various combinations of casting/healing and dps from within those races. If they, too, get boring or unexciting, rinse and repeat until you find a race and class combo you can either live with or learn to love. Oh, and if the rinse and repeat action did not or does not work for you, kindly take your game development concepts elsewhere.

"The game has many aspects of an early game suggestion I made to WoW, So
no BS Sir. But the new race IMO doesn't neccisarily have to be WR but
could be any combination of New/Old or Old/New meaning RW isn't the only
available Class combo. One could simply be DPS combo, Or Tank Heals. It
is simply a suggestion and I think the game developers would like more
Race/Class suggestions. Please comment your suggestions as per CLASSes
And RACEs."


There were many earlier threads about new races and classes, The one thing that was constant was that no one wanted a the new race to be Dwarfs and the last class that was needed was another melee character. So what did we get Dwarfs and Champions. The things that there were not wanted at all. To think that the game developer want ideas about Class/Race is not at all in touch with what has happened and has no base in reality.

Hmm... Entertaining the fact that you ARE telling the truth..., can you find the thread in Archive and link it? Every claim requires supporting details. If you cannot support a claim, then said claim is to be taken with a grain of salt.

As for adding new classes and races.... I would rather Runewaker balance the classes we already have first and foremost, rather than adding more combinations to the mess that the class system is currently in.

If RoM were to introduce a new race... it would not be an outside race.... back before we had Dwarves, there was comments that 2 new races were coming. Dwarves and the Rhino people. sorry guys i can't recall the name of the race, but they are the ones down the road from redhill.

The Kalons?

And I invented the internet before my eventual run for President of the United States.

I'll agree with the general sentiment here that adding a new race/s at this time would be a fairly low priority.

i love Yrcanos loll, as implementing new races, well i think it would be a bad idea. Look at the dwarves, they had and have broken skills still, R/P elites skills still not fixed after 3 years. hi Flecia ;-).

I think they have fixed a lot of stuff, did a lot for the game but until the last kinks havent been fixed, HELL NO. Some players been playing with broken skills, classes for years and invested time and money in them, i think they deserve a bit more respect.

Class balancing first, oh yeah.

I would love new races but they have bigger fish to fry first.

Have a good day

P.S. They say i am Disturbed LOL, i think the peasants found a new victim to stone loll ;-)

Yeah we need class balancing so R/P can do it's right amount of damage and be top DPS like it should be. (Lol see what I did there? I made a funny..)

..No new classes until current classes are balanced..

...Broken record yada yada yada...

..Something about scouts..

..lol helped with the game concept..
