Correct. We have more than enough on our plate as it is without adding in dozens of bomy ganis, scripting all of the tools/instruments/items/events/jobs/quests/etc to work with bomy players... just so people can walk around as a bomy. I looked at the pros vs the cons and that's what I decided. Just so I might try to convince you of why bomy players are a bad idea, I'll list those pros and cons now:

Pros:
- players get to play as another race which allows them to be more different from another player
- special quests and events and jobs for bomy players only

Cons:
- a crapload more scripting needs to be done
- many more ganis need to be made
- bomies still have no hands so it's hard to make any jobs or events or quests for them
- the new clothing system pretty much cuts out like 10 articles of clothing so they can't use that stuff...
- it was weird and illogical to see bomies walking around talking and acting "human" and then seeing human players walking around with bomy "pets".
- bomy pets allow human players the exact same abilities as a bomy player (in terms of movement)
- bomies have a different attack range/damage system which means that a bomy vs player fight is never going to be evenly matched.

Let's face the facts... Bomy players are severely limited and it's not possible to change that. Everything on the server is pretty much designed for humans. All anyone ever did as bomy players was complain about the unfairness or even "racism" that bomy players had to deal with. How they never got enough good jobs to do, or quests, or how they couldn't wear hats, or do human jobs... In the end some of these things were resolved but at what cost? Bomies playing instruments and fishing? How the heck did they hold the instruments or tools? Magic?

No I think it was telekinesis or something right? Sorry that's getting a little farfetched for me. I'd like to try and keep the world in some sort of believable setting. Not psychic bomy creatures who have advanced technology and robot suits that let them have arms and laser cannons... It's just not what the original 2k1 was about.
