I certainly didn't come back to take up this fight. I had no idea it was even on the table until some friends whispered me "Hey Eelin! You can't be here...you're extinct" (I paraphrase). The logic behind this, as I interpret it, is that the devs don't wish to devote scarce resources into developing the models or the history/lore of the Diaboli.
Talad,
Consider the possibility that perhaps you are looking for a solution where one is not needed. I would suggest that you need do nothing at all to keep the players and the devs happy. We have our history and lore. We created it from what you gave us. We have our characters, fine-tuned around the backstory we were given. Many have worked countless hours skilling up those characters in an environment that is still not very condusive to it, and still under development. Every Diaboli character that I know tries very hard to RP within the framework you gave us....good or bad, we try because you said that's who we are. So, that's who we became. And whether we play twice a year or everyday, our Diaboli characters have made an impact in this world, and we have strong RP relationships based on that, just as every other race in Yliakum.
So please, consider doing nothing. Don't build the models...don't write any more history. We can do fine on our own. That's the magnificence and brilliance of it. You gave us the tools but we, the players, make this world what it is. Taking away who we are, especially on an RP server, is a death sentence to our characters, and there are many many more than myself who shouldn't have to start over.
If you are so deaf to the voices of your players, and intent on making this change, maybe you could implement this change on the EZPCUSA server, where the impact would be far less.
