Runes of Magic US / AU

I know this topic had been beaten into oblivion, but I thought I'd add my two cents.

Please, please, please don't make the Capra a playable race. Personally I hate the little goats, and if they're a race, so help me, I will start a PvP guild for the extermination of goats!

However, I think that an avian race could be cool, provided they don't look like birds that talk (a humanoid race with a feather fan behind the head or a feathery tail would be cool) and but no feline races. I think that model has been pretty overused.

Personally, I think FA could go either way with the races, since we have two base races - Humans and Elves. It wouldn't be that hard to tranistion to something different. However, I'm casting my vote for Gnomes/Dwarves - who doesn't like a puntable little race?

next playable race should be one without any bugged skills.....

race: Automatons
1st class option: Vacuum Cleaner

At least everyone will know they suck from day one...

Your Suggestion For New Race?
Angren Race (half-beast and half-human)

Whats My Reason for This choice?
1st off they look cool and war like.They already in the game which means the character models is already done. (This Saves A Ton Of Time) They just need to adjust the animations/armor and make them playable.

What New Or Existing Class would this race be able to play as?
Warrior, scout, Shaman(Priest Class), mage, Pugilist (Hand to Hand DPS)

Whats Your Second Race Choice?
Dwarf

I think that dwarves would be a fun class to play as the next one. I am a fan of dwarves and if they enter the game, im crazy!!!

Personally, I'd say no to the human/cat race. They look cool and everything as NPCs, but I've had too many bad experiences with half-animal races to like them anymore (as a playable race). I, for one, would like to see something completely different. (When I tried out WoW - which didn't last long - I fell in love with the Draeni because they just looked different) Anyway...

We have good race (humans) and, I would say ,neutral race (elves) so what is missing? Some little more evil oriented race I know, I know.. It's not unique but hey!, you already have duall class system, what more do you want?
Personally, I'd like it to be dark elves becouse I'm not big fan of half human - half beast races.
So lets see what would be theire characteristics:
They would be similar to elves but different - something like "fallen" elves, with darker skin and more oriented on black magic.
Starting point would be somewhere in mountains of Elven Island cause they were throwned out from elven society (they had too much interests in black magic) and started their own society there in mountans.
One of their two new classes (cause every race have two unique) would be Necromancer - can summon enemies 5 to 10 levels lower then themselves when they kill them and heal them (or something like that) and second, idk, something like combination of rogue and scout; can use bows and crossbows with magic arrows, and two magic daggers or smaller swords, also have their own mount and don't have to rent it in shops.
Just my suggestion don't know if you'll like it..

So this would be my idea for new race in RoM

I was just thinking about that today, in fact. A cool evil race would be a nice change. However, I'm getting really tired of Dark Elves/Drou/whatevertheheckyouwannacallthem. And we already have Elves, right? I actually though that Minotaurs would be cool - I've always liked em, and big races (and small ones) are pretty awesome.

Idk, like i said - not really big fan of half human - half beast races
And i know we have Elves but we talkin' about DARK Elves!!! And if you didn't see i come up with almost whole story for them xD

If they do introduce a new race, I would prefer them to do something less... "pretty" looking. Humans fit the normal mode, elves fit the lithe, elegant race, now I'd like to see a heavy, intimidating looking race to round it all out. That beast race posted earlier looks pretty neat.

I really don't like the idea of Capra being a playable race. But not because I don't like them and I want to see less of them. It just doesn't make sense for tons of random whitefurs to go wandering off as adventurers when their people at home are fighting a desperate, multi-front war.

On the other hand, I hate elves in almost all settings, but I've come to tolerate them here. They at least have a fantastic reason for randomly prancing around the world. I'm not 100% sure with the background, but breaking generations of isolation to try and reunite with their lost brethren is a great way to introduce a new race. And it gives them a good reason to be adventuring all over the four corners of the world.

But more important then what they look like, I just want them to make sense in the game. I dislike a game that gives you tons of random race options without really trying to fit them logically into the game world. More choices than your competition doesn't necessarily equal a better game. I really do prefer only humans as a playable race and nothing else, but I understand other people want variety.

Interesting roleplay characters usually don't come from whatever weird race combination they are, but how creative the player gets handling the character.

...And that's the end of my rant.

i would say a shapeshifting race
kinda like how wow just released the worgens.
we could make something like that but take it to the next step.
instead of only being able to go wolf you could pick what you want to transform into from the beggining form a wolf,tiger,lion,dragon etc
and every 10 levels you get a quest to make your beast mode look more beastly
i think it would be a good idea

Personally, I would rather FA work on *certain* problems than make a multiple-shapeshifting race. I like the idea, but more than two forms is too much.

• a black human.
  
• a black elf!
  
• a huge yellow mouse that can shoot lightning bolts out its face!
  
• An ugly freak of nature that is everything, creature wtv you can imagine mixed together.

Nintendo has one of those already.

I would like to see another race, as long as its not dwarves.

Half-dragon. or Centaur Dragon. Or Ninja. (yes, a race of ninja)

I'll admit it... this made me laugh. It's sadly true, too.

An emo kid
Joke, joke
Succubus, incubus, blood elf like species -like WoW-
Draculoid...
Ogre -Everquest 2 lookalike?-
Troll -EQ2 look-alike?-
A cat or lizard race
or like a vampire -not overpowered, but when mana is low or health has a spell called Bite to regain mana or hp, has a cooldown of 5 or so mins- which can shift from vampire to human or vampire to elf but stays a vampire
