But I can just see that RP Battle... all the Bomies are cowarding under their shells.

If you truly want to balance 2k1 then you'll rather take away the bomy shelling effect or give humans a shelling effect.

They're cowering under their shells, so YOU CAN'T HURT THEM!

Besides, usually at that point they're willing to negotiate.

WOW A JOB THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COMBAT REALLY BALANCES THE WHOLE RACE

I made the image from complaints found on the forums.

Shells? Ok, i'll give you that, but you need to remember, BOMIES CANNOT ATTACK WITH THEIR SHELLS DOWN.
Diverse weapons? You're kidding, right? It's human yes, bomy no.
Faster swim? True, but do you realize how hard it is to controll bomies? Especially when trying to lead a human somewhere? Or going through a really narrow area?
Pause? Why did they even include that?!
Illogial weapons? WTF?
Toolless jobs? Again, why did you include that?
Manoverage? Yes.
Battlechoice? What.
Hats? YES. GIVE BOMYS STUPID HATS!
Snowcones? Um, again, why did you include that?
Neglected? Again, you're kidding me, right? BOMIES ARE NEGLECTED. How many updates have bomies had? A few ganis, maybe?
Diverse Jobs? Human jobs are more diverse, so throw them the point.

Oh yea, they counted neglection as a perk, so bomies would STILL HAVE MORE PERKS ROOFLES.

I'm a bomy.

I don't think anyone said this yet, but Bomies can easily get pure water from that pumpkin place :O

Diverse Weapons - Bomies have Bamboo

Faster Swim - Pratice Makes Perfect

Illogical Weapons - Bomies magically balance bamboo rods on their heads and it's obvious that their flaming farts push the rod foward to attack and then the airpressure hitting the rod just puts it back into place. Yup, is that how you explain it?

Battlechoice - Bomies have the ability to choose when they want to attack, something humans dont have

Hats - Hats look ugly on Bomies

Neglected - Negative... for one, before the newer server came out... noone was a bomy. So why should labor be put into something that's dead? Humans nor Bomies are negected, that's just a global excuse to get the bomies things that they dont need

Diverse Jobs - Bomies can choose just like Humans. So I guess I can whine like the bomies so here I go... OMGZ... I DUNT WANT TO FISH OR FARM OR MINE K? I WANT A JOB WHERE I SIT ON MY ASS AND DO NOTHING BUT TALK WITH MY FRIENDS AND GET 324204723432 GRALAT A SECOND KTHX. Have you seen Fishing? Or how about mining. Yeah, humans have to work way harder then bomies to make a living. If anything and I repeat IF ANYTHING Humans should be complaining that the wages aren't fair enough.

Go a bit east of Bomboria, find the door the bomy is standing in front of, pay him, and wow, pure water for all. For a cheaper approach, make a trial account, give it a bottle, fill it, and give it back.

You obviously haven't been Pearl Diving anytime lately. Two or thee people PER SPOT is not a GOOD thing. It reduces what you get by on half, or one THIRD. It is hard enough to get money now with white pearls being 1g for 7, black 1 for 4, and pink 1 for 2.
The chance of getting these at any decent rate is if the other people aren't at their computers. Go pearl diving before you say it is oh-so-good again.

well ive been pearl diving. I have a bomy account. In 30 minutes i made like 35g.

But that was when pink was 1 per 1. So i guess it would take a little longer now.

Hm, I guess bomys are kinda at a disadvantage

And farming is way better than pearl diving if you know the right spot to farm

Wow, a weapon that hasn't worked (and if I'm correct) still doesn't work. Do you pull it out every time you want to strike?
Besides, Bomys have kick. Humans have swords, and kung-fu. This isn't including NPCWs, because both races can use them.

Faster Swim - Pratice Makes Perfect

I agree. However, upon the release of Bomy Pets, humans will be able to do it as well, if the pets haven't been changed much.

Illogical Weapons - Bomies magically balance bamboo rods on their heads and it's obvious that their flaming farts push the rod foward to attack and then the airpressure hitting the rod just puts it back into place. Yup, is that how you explain it?

Illogical weapons? So you'd rather us have nothing, because bomys weren't designed with hands? Real fair Zurkiba.

Battlechoice - Bomies have the ability to choose when they want to attack, something humans dont have

Bomys however don't have the choice to maneouver very easily. No diagonal movement, remember? Besides, I'm sure something could be incorporated to actually use the human shield.

Hats - Hats look ugly on Bomies

Hats look ugly on humans. Your point? That's just an opinion.

Neglected - Negative... for one, before the newer server came out... noone was a bomy. So why should labor be put into something that's dead? Humans nor Bomies are negected, that's just a global excuse to get the bomies things that they dont need

The things we don't need. Of course, give the bomys one weapon, and one job and they're set. Necessity isn't the same as desire. Humans have much more. They get multiple weapons, and are oh-so-perfect thanks to your enlightening explanation for why Bomys should be defenseless. Before the newer server came out, lots of people were Bomys. Selective memory? You decide. Bomys aren't dead. Woo, the storyline is destroyed if they're dead.

Diverse Jobs - Bomies can choose just like Humans. So I guess I can whine like the bomies so here I go... OMGZ... I DUNT WANT TO FISH OR FARM OR MINE K? I WANT A JOB WHERE I SIT ON MY ASS AND DO NOTHING BUT TALK WITH MY FRIENDS AND GET 324204723432 GRALAT A SECOND KTHX.

When, when, when, when, when, when, when, (effective repetition - maybe you'll absorb the information?) did I say that Bomys aren't getting enough money? Besides, we can't fish or mine. I've said oh-so-often that it is choice. Do you go to a server to stand in one room, never to do anything? No. You go about, making choices. There are very few choices for bomys to choose from.

Have you seen Fishing? Or how about mining. Yeah, humans have to work way harder then bomies to make a living. If anything and I repeat IF ANYTHING Humans should be complaining that the wages aren't fair enough.

Once again, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, did I say that wages were unfair?

Please learn to read.

Humans have Bamboo AND swords.

Not really. Still a pain in the neck. (especially for hairpin turns and supertight spaces. Go down from the pearl seller, go down. Don't go to the right. Perfect example.)

And we all know that weapons that you have crazy explanations for completly throw the server off balance

Battlechoice - Bomies have the ability to choose when they want to attack, something humans dont have

Choose when they attack? If you mean use the shell, humans have pause. WOW.

Hats - Hats look ugly on Bomies

But still :|

Neglected - Negative... for one, before the newer server came out... noone was a bomy. So why should labor be put into something that's dead? Humans nor Bomies are negected, that's just a global excuse to get the bomies things that they dont need

They are neglected. There are a ton of bugs for bomies. Not to mention that there was a good 6 months before the MAJOR bomy wailing bug was fixed.

Diverse Jobs - Bomies can choose just like Humans. So I guess I can whine like the bomies so here I go... OMGZ... I DUNT WANT TO FISH OR FARM OR MINE K? I WANT A JOB WHERE I SIT ON MY ASS AND DO NOTHING BUT TALK WITH MY FRIENDS AND GET 324204723432 GRALAT A SECOND KTHX. Have you seen Fishing? Or how about mining.

The thing is, you're arguing about diversity, not fairness. Bomies have a good 4 jobs, two of them for both races, and one of them useless. Humans have bread baking, pie baking (if you consider them different), mining, farming (both races), fishing, and snowcones (both races again.)
Bomies diverse? My foot.
