Title: What's up with the Diaboli?
Post by: Demagul Riwe on November 29, 2014, 11:34:35 pm
So I've seen tons of Diaboli around lately. I thought that they weren't playable. Could someone please explain to me what's going on with this, because it makes me look really bad in RP when I assume someone's a Ynnwn and they aren't...

you can't make them anymore but there are lots of leftovers that were grandfathered in. Read descriptions if you are worried about it. They are unlikely to be getting a model any time  soon™ or even later™

Ohh okay. A website also says that you can choose which kind of dwarf you are, and that there's a race called Xacha. Is that the same kind of thing?

There was a consolidation of races awhile back. Stonebreakers and Hammerwielders were separate races like Nothrir and Dermorians are now. Diaboli were playable as well as Xacha which were the secondary human race.

I still think Diaboli were the coolest race.

Why did they consolidate? It would have been cool which type of dwarf to be or be a Xacha or Diaboli.

Basically due to the lack of 3d modellers, I believe. It was deemed hard enough to get static items made to extend the crafting. New character models require new animations for those models.

It was this, more or less. The 3D/2D department currently has 0 people in it which is why new art is still the slowest expanding area of the game.

While Xacha don't exist anymore Stonebreakers and Hammerwielders still exist, they are no more a separate race but now they are different clan of the same race the StoneHammers.
