oh mein gott. I would die laughing. =d

I am going to mention this even though I think Capras would be a great new race for the game.

To date, in Runes of Magic... any species that has appeared in the game in which there is an evil version that tries to kill the player characters... will never make it as a playable race.

I've read this entire thread and there are a LOT of good ideas here. But, a new race would need a new low-level starting area. And while I would really LOVE to see Capras as playable, we must exclude them because the Blackhorns and Grassland Walkers are evil and they do try to kill the player characters on sight.

We also have to exclude Dwarves (since there are evil ones in Dragonfang Ridge that will one-shot you on sight!)

Canids are excluded because the newest high-level region have a canine species that tries to kill you. And even though some of the Gnolls are HOT, we can't play them for the same reason.

Does anyone know if the Minotaurs are evil? (I ask this because I have not encountered them yet and on Elven Island there is a mention that a Minotaur was traveling with two humans when they set up the Snoop Transport Portal on the Island. Surprise, surprise! Someone actually READS the NPC dialog! )

Yes mino's attack player char, so do cyclops ( with one exception ).

They live in Snowhorn area of Ystra Highlands and the Cyclops Stronghold in Dragonfang ridge respectively.

Well, they're cool looking, but I'm not sure I'd want to date one of 'em (there's gotta be a few chick Gnolls, right?). I dunno, maybe bad breath and backwards legs appeals to you...

I am going to start reading the NPC dialog one of these days. That's pretty cool though. However, in Ystra, you have to kill minotaurs (although you do help an injured on). Personally, I think minos would be an awesome race to play.

At this point, I don't really care what kind of new race they come out with. My only concern is if it's going to provide exclusive quests and titles to said race. Much like with the elves, where all but 3 of the EI titles can be obtained by humans, with a remaining 16+ quests they cannot finish.
It gives an unfair edge to the elves in regards to the leader board, where they'll always be able to fill the top list of quests complete and titles obtained. It's no game-breaker, sure, but it is still pretty stupid to begin with, having quests that not all players can do.

So, like I said, I really don't care about what new race may or may not come out, so long as the quests in that race's starting zone are accessible by -everyone-. But if I had to choose a new race, I'd go with some kind of draconic humanoid race, like Morrok's. It'd be fitting.

Quoted from "psy420;362553"

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

And you'll be able to play with them just at night cuz.. you know.. They'd be burned on sun

But, a new race would need a new low-level starting area.

Not a big problem, they just have to stop makin' new patches every 3 - 4 weeks and focus on adding new race and low level starting area for them.

It wouldn't have any sense.. Just imagine how would it look like, for example, that you come to EI as a human and master Yoda welcomes you with "Hello young elf...." xD

Before we make the monkey work to hard, how about simply making the races already available, work when we want them to. I'm getting tired of spending as much time logging back into the game as I do playing.

I'll make a wild guess and say dwarf. You have no choice its the order of things.

go for the gold make it where u can be half animal an human best part is you get to customize the color of your scale's , fur, etc plus each creature has its own ability
example
wolf: 2x hit point at low heath. plus the abiliy to cast certain spells on the go

snake: 2x posion damage if the opponets weak / dose not effect low level players only high lvl players an all ai's. acoording to your lvl.

dragon: 2x risitance to magic half's most physical attack's / note: you cant fly an you get a 50 % chance of halfing the enemys attack

lizard 2x movment / hit em where it hurts with a 25 % critical hit chance
a the best part is you cant be slowed down if you are half heath are lower

there's a few more but those are some

I RESERVE ALL RIGHTS OF THIS TO RUNE'S OF MAGIC

maybe they'll copy WoW's idea and make goblins and werewolves like their new Cataclysym update..lol

ive read this thread and people keep saying they wont make races playable already that are in game that attack players already..

but there is a huge flaw in that persons suggestion...

Elves are a playable race, and NJF has aggressive elves high and low that attack players, so there, pierced a huge hole in your theory.

on a side note i agree with players who say capras and dwarves etc should be playable races. that would be pretty cool to have a little more diversity..

Frogster, instead of distracting us from your constant bugs and crashes and issues NONSTOP by making new zones, how bout distracting us with new skills and playable races, that would hold my attention away from the problems longer than a new zone (with missing textures i might add) lol

Next race should be Dwarves.
They mix well with both races; are allied with bot, and the lore via many sources is easily accessed.

Writing their story line will be easy; and everyone loves them.

Quoted from "Uhmari;367439"

and everyone loves them.

Well.. Not everyone.

i think it should be either dwarf, or fungus but, i dont think they should make another zone for the new race. They already have 3 zones for beginners, and it's hard enought o complete them all.

dont you think the next race should be they have already implemented into the game? like Gnolls, you see them all around dalanis onward. or Dracos (half dragon half human) there is a questline where there are dracos.

Quoted from "icedude222;369685"

dont you think the next race should be they have already implemented into the game?

No, why would it?

What I really want to see is a third gender in the game. :p

I would really like to see Gingerbread as the next playable race in game!

They are so cute!

If they added Dwarves then the race specific class could be a champion.

Or they could add insect race with a hive class

I think they should add either a Giant race, or elemental based races.

Gnolls, Definatly Gnolls XD, Right Hathore?v
