As it is, people who make things want their work to be appreciated by more peopl, so production goes opposite what it should be: The more people play as human, the less things bomys get.

Whoever started jailing people for "bomy vs. human racism" ruined everything.
That is what kept bomies and humans relatively equal..
Bomies would remain true to itself, humans would remain true to itself.
Now everyone is forced to love everyone as a neighbor and therefore just say to screw the whole thing and become humans.
Humans have better advantages, and if they HAVE to love them in a social way, they might as well be one.
Also, everyone wants everything to be equal among each other..
well, seeing as how each race has its own advantages and disadvantages, that makes it impossible.
You cannot have equal things for each race.
ie: Do not give hacky sacks to both Humans and Bomies.
Apparently this is supposed to be equal...? Humans have arms and heads to focus on.. therefore they have jumpropes and hats.
Bomies have feet, give them their own items.
Hacky sacks work for bomies.. if you give them to humans, people are going to start focusing on humans' feet and give customize boots/shoes to buy and sell.
I'ld be up for it (especially with my motion boots!
), however, we'ld have to terminate the bomy race in general and make them just animals/pets. =/
If you give a bomy a sword, which is made for a human's hand, then you're going to start allowing bomies to have things like jumpropes.
This would make everything completely equal.. which would defeat the whole purpose of the two races.
People would then, like reality, start paying attention to physical things and appearances... rather than objectorial and conceptual things. =/
Sometimes you just "have" to look ahead before just thinking up an idea... because, often times, people jump to create it and Stefan jumps to add it.
If, however, you do not want the bomy race, then, by all means, do what you want to do!
