Custom Skins.

[Shane]

Forest trolls?... *drools*

[Thoradin]

Being a Reventusk would be some pretty cool beans.

So Kretol, I am curious... What kind of skins will we be able to do?

Goblin I am sure of but like.. what else? I think it'd be kind of lame to just have Goblins..

Maybe High Elves, Broken, and Ogres maybe?

Emphasis mine. Obviously.

Anyway, this is a brilliant idea and is an addition to the many reasons that Kretol is a beautiful human being.

We do not currently offer that. In the past we discussed allowing this to happen (I believe one player was even invited to test out playing a goblin), but this was before the restart when we switched to the new emulator. I don't think that we've explored this option much since the restart, so I'm not even sure if it's possible or if we'll be proceeding with the original idea.

You are only allowed to play the races currently available to us in-game. I'd advise checking out the non-playable races article on the wiki to double-check what we do and do not allow.


Edit: And as a fairly strong hint, you might want to read the article on high elves.

I remember Ziggy. He was fun to RP with.
And yes, the story about the gnome and tauren was hilarious.

[Wuvvums]

I could definitely see goblins as a plausible choice(especially since they will be given to us come Cata). There are other things that come to mind as well.

I noticed some people want to rp like they're animals, so they use a shaman or druid form, and I think most normal druids and shamans would find this to be an abuse of their powers to find a druid in his travel form walking around Booty Bay saying nothing but "mew" and growl. Should we just give some people and actual animal form and say they are another PC's hunter pet? Well, I guess it might be trivial to make someone an animal but as we have seen from Jabtok's scorpion and what Rigley has done as a bear and crocolisk, animals could make for some quirky roleplay.

Of course you wouldn't be able to equip armor onto them but maybe it'd cut back on tauren and the like that want to be cute fluffy kitties and cuddle up to other people.

[FlyingSquirrel]

Yea, maybe allowing people to roleplay other people's pets would be cool, in my opinion. Of course, they wouldn't be able to do a profile for that pet, unless the GMs come up with some pet profile thing, maybe just use Belthareans (did I spell that right?)

[Cressy]

We've actually discussed allowing animals and the general answer was no. People would RP them too human like, and without metagaming and godmoding it would be extremely difficult to rp out.

[Xigo]

Murlocs.

*Nod*

[BountyHunter]

Ethereals. That is all.

Wha about Savagekin? Since its a Prestige Class you guys will be able to oversee that people who can rp with them convincingly are the only ones allowed.

[Aphetoros]

Ethereals. That is all.

[Ometh]

Savagekin are substantially different. Despite their preference to remain in the wild and in a form of their choosing, they're still essentially humanoid underneath. We'd still have to make an effort to ensure that people are playing the class fairly accurately; running around town going, "Mew, mew," isn't going to fly either.

However, druids already possess the ability to transform into various animals and so custom skins would not be necessary for them.

[Spiralin]

Actually I found yesterday about druids of the fang? They can turn into snakes. Is it possible to icly roleplay that?

[Sol]

Ethereals. That is all.

And alternative forms for druids would be interesting, but possibly slightly arbitrary.
