I live to serve ;)

I'll have a Rye and Coke please! Oh and with a side order of bipedal aardvark! Really that would be awesome, too bad there will be no new races. ;(

Let's not forget that ps is free... I don't know about anyone else but I'm greatful for this. if I were paying by the hour or month I might feel entitled to complain about certain things. Given that this is free, complaining about stuff is kinda rude.


Regarding "redudnant races" ... I like the diversity - even if it is mostly visual. It would kinda suck if there were only one or two races - like say 70's style bearded human and perhaps say man with cell and briefcase - especially in a fantasy setting. Being that this is a "role playing game" the visual and descriptive differences in the characters are indeed significant even if there is no difference in stats.
 

It would be cool if there was more visual diversity in the appearance of characters... Ie more facial features, an option to give the char a permanent limp, hunch, dragged leg, a spazzy tard arm that moves on its own (lol), a wandering or crooked eye, a unique kind of walking pattern whatever.. ;)

My point isn't to turn this into a freak show but to get away from everyony looking so similar...

Reminding people that this game is free is sometimes necessary but it should never ever be an excuse for not listening to the players. And I think that the devs are aware of this. Call it complaints or call it (constructive) criticism, it is the feedback of the players.

Agree that free is not an excuse for lack of something in the game.  I will accept undermanned and underfunded though.  ;)

I don't feel there is a problem with having redundant races... but I think the problem is calling them races.  Call them clans or something else, and then the idea of using the same models again for different clans won't seem so out of place.  By calling them races, we tend to think there needs to be a physical difference, but there doesn't need to be.  Work on customizable textures and features for each model so that you can have different races within clans.  Then you can build the history up behind each clan, getting exactly what you want.

they are different races......they come from different worlds, etc... it's all in the settings.

there simply isn't all the different models yet.
