Races!
 

I'd love to see 2k2 incorperate different races. I know stefan would hate to have to do this, though. Each race could have had it's own specific stats and classes, and people could have grouped together by race also in little tribes or whatever you'd like to call em around the islands. Could have had brutish Orcs and Trolls, Satyrs (think pan), Elves, Dwarves, the possibilities woulda been endless :(

Yes, possibilities would be endless - so would be the work coming with it. New bodies and heads for each new race, to give them a different look as well as internal difference - 5 different orc heads? Then, you'd probably have to redo some ganis to acomodate differently shaped being like, say, orcs. Then you'd need new gfx for armour, as they need to be fitted to the bodies. And, and, and... and it's not in the mudlib... ;)

I recommend more races maybe more suitable for females, like possibly clerics. Paladins would be nice, too. :D

Those are classes not races dude.

Holy crap, I feel stupid. I'd delete my post, but then that'd make your post pointless. Feel free to laugh at my ignorance! :D

Heh.. Instead of having races, we have classes and races/kingdoms.. So, basically, we already have races... :/..


ZORMITE, DUSTARIAN, SAMURAI etc etc.. :/

You cannot call Zormite a race anymore.....because they don't follow Age-Old Traditions.

Yes i think a very good race would be Merpeople....
Like have a whole island full of lots of water and make it where they can go underwater...and perhaps they can like transform into humans..so they can walk on land...ahhh i would be such a beautiful mermaid with aqua blue long hair..

gee no one has thought about insane power gamer speed have they =_=

That's right...and untill all the issues like that are solved, GK shouldn't be advancing in any way. RPers could revolt against the whole system itself though...for example, having a leader be very strict with RPing- stricter than has ever been done before on GK. And dominate the Graal Kingdoms world as we know it!

What's your problem with Zormite? I don't want to start a new discussion, and I know they were supposed to be merpeople on 2k1, but this is 2k2, and if what Zen does works (and I think it does, quite well indeed), why complain? There are pore important things to add or fix on the server, both server-sided as well as coming from the players.

You can choose races AND classes in mudlib...
Uhm trolls,orcs,halflings and elves and such =/

Not really...

lol i am playing it i have to know dont i?
there you choose race first then you warped to a room where you can choose class :X

They haven't balanced classes yet, and you already want to add races? omg.

Matin's right, in the mudlib there are more than one class.



It would be insane to add races at this point anyways. What about the people that are already playing? Would they have to restart or what?

Some maybe, but it wouldn't help. Also, the game the mudlib comes from - I just played it for a few minutes - doesn't look like it would require a set of gfx as extensive as kingdoms, thus making it a lot easier to get new races added, from the visual point of view.

All they really need for those classes is more options for the tag command, (the one that puts your class after your name) I meen think of it this way...

Cleric = Priest (their the same thing, only clerics have ethos about what kind of weapons they can weild and priests don't.)
Paladin: phisique and wisdom leveling
Ranger, Archer, Merchant, Halfling, it's all about dressing up and playing pretend! If you wanna be a gnome, roll gnome stats, rp it, etc.

Another thing...
Members of party: fwah.
9 Vixin the Arctic Fox

say "/title Gnome" and people will see
Members of party: fwah.
9 Vixin the Gnome

Use your emagination :P great RP tool.

And another thing, Gnomes are usualy thiefs, and usualy excel in illusionary magics. And Dwarfs are hairy lil guys who live in mines and carry big axes. Just thought I'd throw that in, you know, just... incase... o.o;

It's Merfolk! so says my Magic cards! Rawr!
