One without gnomes and halflings is a good one

If you have gnomes, people want orcs, if you have orcs, people want trolls, if you have trolls...get what im saying? It will be just like any other rpg with these races... and we want planeshift to be unique.

And for further rebuttle:

We have Dwarves.

We have Humans.

We have Elves.

We have Enkidukai (ever see the Everquest Vah Shir?)

I could go on aswell..but I think this should suffice.

I just think that the game needs a small dextrous creature to balance.

Why not make Planeshift so extraodinary in that it has MORE races and creations options than fewer.

My 2 trias.

Basically, we already have plenty of races. If you can\'t find one of them that suits you, tough luck. What this game doesn\'t need is more pointless, over-used material. We\'ve already got enough.

It\'s not like Stonebreakers are that much different from gnomes...

This means that PS already has too many creatures that are \"standard\" in the genre. If anything, it needs less of these standard races, not more.

Just play an obnoxious, skinny dwarf with a big nose.

The current races are far from finished, starting to beg for more races at this point in development is just absurd.

Well that doesn\'t seem to be a problem, especially after reading the wish list desription:

Yes, my bad. Just tought that gnomes was a little unoriginal, I\'d prefered if none of the typical medievil races would have been used..

My only point was that since they didnt completely recreate all the races they shouldn\'t have left out my favorite one (aye yes, I succomb to the cute gnomes in a completely unoriginal way.)

Drow are a major trend as well... good Drow... *pukes*. Anyway, maybe we can have garden gnomes? :D And garden orcs? A mad Xacha may make them or something. ;)
