Gold Keys improve your stats. You can get max 20 for each stat, 21 for wisdom. As Damix said, GK would need a reset.

Maybe you should learn more about the game before you go around criticizing it?

[xAndrewx]

It wouldn't make any sense.

Eh, I think races should be left to the players to play out through acting and such. If you look at Graal's history, we've already had Elves, Orcs, Zormites, Humans, and various furred races, without the need for special game mechanics to tell us how those races should be.

You might be right, but does it make sense to you to see a white orc?

Anyway, if it can't be races, we should atleast add orcs, elves and stuff as monsters/baddies.

No, but I've seen green orcs. Since there is an orc head out there already.

Adding new graphics for races and letting people decide on their own? Fine with me.

Adding new game mechanics to an already messed up system? No.

[xAndrewx]

Can you produce the graphics Stevsen?

If you can't understand what I said then you don't know the mechanics of the game enough and shouldn't be posting here.

Oh, so newbies cant post? Thanks for the info.

[Damix2]

Where did I say can't?

And no, they shouldn't be, they should have a good understanding of the game before they say anything about it

How many newbies knows the game mechanics well?

And i do have, but you obviously dont get my point. If the players choosing a race got the bonus the race had, ONLY these people would get extra, but then get less in another stat, so the players who didn't choose a class will have max 20/20/20, and the ones choosing for example and orc will get 19/23/20. Is that really so unbalanced? I'll give you another example, an elf might have 20/26/18 and so on. This means that WITH items their max is 26 in a specific stat.

[Damix2]

Yes, that is unbalancing the game, if you REALLY wanted to do that, thats why we have classes, races are just a needless add-on

Actually you might be on to something.. It could be nice if classes had stat bonuses, giving them a point.

[Damix2]

They have a point right now, the point just doesn't last long.

Well then, a lasting point.But on to the races subject.

Another easy way to create races would be simply to create the heads, hairs and bodys and then you would be able to set your race manually by using /sethead, and getting yourself the haircut you want.

The clothes could be chosen in the character creation screen. It should be like the clothe changers in zone, would make you able to get much more into your RP role from the start.
