Question

If you have been reading the "YES! I'm here" thread you would see that we've toyed with the idea of creating a Zorbi player race once the Zulite is finished.

I've also noticed that within Graal many players love to play using the FISH heads. I'm curious if those players would be interested playing as a Zorbi? Or if you don't already use a FISH head, would you still be interested in playing as a Zorbi? This will give us an idea of the demand for such a race so that we can prioritize it appropriately for development.

To learn more about what the Zorbi race may consist of, refer to the aformentioned thread.

Thanks for answering!

hm... I don't know, I would like it if it was somewhere only they could go.. it's a waste of good levels to make it so that only some players cn get there.

But it would be a good way to use a blue setcolor!

Wut is a zulite?

Any way, yah, zorbi would be a cool race... I just think the head kinda sux... oh well... They should be the ballance race, tehy can swim fast, and use swords, but aren't as strong as humans, and don't swim as fast as bomys, but have better control and don't go all over the place

Blah.

I'd try out Zorbis for about a month long to see if I like them, but if there are still other races to lpay I'd first play as another race and then if I've had them all once I'd make my final decision.

As long as I could make a zorbi look like a minister I might prefer playing one.

They ought to be able to do fishing too, but not mining.

Maybe actually, fish with bonuses. Just an idea.

Umm....
Okay, Zorbas are the male Zorbis, but because the Zorbis have a matriarchy (Empress, no king, women are head of the household and the only ones swift enough to serve in the army, the men are consigned to housework) the entire race is referred to as Zorbis, after the Zorbi Empire. Kinda like how Bulls are male Cows, and there are males in the Amazon society (according to some)...

Thanks Lycia.

As for the Zorbi backstory, I made that up just now. Beats having Zorbi males and Zorbi females so I can call the whole race Zorbis.
'sides, I think there's a book in tyhmciddig1.graal that says all Zorbis are female, their counterparts are the exclusively male Zorbas, or Zordas, I kept changing my mind...I was aiming for Zoraas but missed, but they even had the old and since-removed head...

Here's a good question. What should the male Zorbis be, if the Zorbis become a race?
The standard Zoraas fish head (red, cyan, whatever), or the Zoraa ripoff head (the green one, either version)?

Of course the amazon society had men. They had to reproduce.

Of course, the Amazons are almost completely fictional, regreattably.

Thumbs up Zorbis would be cool

But....graal should stop at that. I like how there are only 2 classes, as opposed to other servers with 50 classes. It makes graal different...in some good way. Probably because everyone is almost equal

There are humans and bomy, and if Zulite and/or Zoribi gets accepted that would be 4. Thats not so much of an overkill, is it?

I think zorda/zorba's should have head863.gif

But to get back to seriouseness, any of the fish heads except head863.gif could be used for the zorda/zorba's.

The other servers don't have totally unique races! That's something special for us!
I like having unique players! I'm still championing player magic!
