RACE CHANGES- oh yes it's here

[۞ KAT ۞ AKA Red Viper]

More info

For those who don't already know, race changes are here!

If you are considering a race change for your character, there are some great RP reasons for having it happen.

• Your char pissed someone off and got their soul transferred into another body. This could be a great RP storyline. The kidnapping, the torture, the change over.
  
  
• Maybe they didn't piss anyone off, and just went to a powerful warlock who was offering the service. For a price.
  
  
• Transporter accident! Happens all the time.

And many other options but there are a few to get you started!

Night Elves can't be paladins. I call foul. hehe

[anecia]

No one else (yet anyway) can be shaman. I second your foul, Shari.

[amboro]

Well Ane, with the next expansion its either Draenei or Dwarf for Ally Shamans

And I third the foul

[griffin]

Eh, when Dranei can be Rogues, give me a hollar. Then might be tempting for RP with Griff. XD

see...in my poor opinion, these are all superficial changes...or changes to enhance the commercial appeal. There are not ever many changes of depth to the world of Azeroth. And certainly never a change for the RP community.

so, to sum up my position:

[cirsee]

I think there is POTENTIAL here for some interesting RP. A Draenei that still acts like an Elf? Split personalities? Oh any number of things. But its up to us..the creative brains in Azeroth to make it so.

Great so Kri can be a Warggen hehe confuse him even more

I agree with you, Cantera. They've told us RPers many many lies to get us to stick around from expansion to expansion.

But I know that Blizzard is a company above all else. Their GOAL is to make money. NOT to make people happy. Their largest customer base is Teenagers (13 - 20). So they do things to make the game easier to understand and also to give the appearance that you've got a lot of options....for a price.

And unfortunatly, 13 - 20 year olds seem to eat this stuff up and thusly.....it continues. :/

So, the small demographic we make up (RPers of all ages) doesn't even come close to the rest of the WoW population. So we have no voice. Even if we petitioned or made a big holler over it. The fact is is the numbers of us compared to the 'lolnoobs' is expendable to Blizzard. -shrug-

But I have you guys so I stay.

PS. We don't need anymore split personality crazies in RP. -sagenod-

personally? I really fail to see what all the heartache is about.Like Cannie says, its a superficial change - so, cool! if folks want to play a different race and drop the coin, all power to em I say. Doesnt affect gameplay, and adds an RP oportunity if you care to. Seems a win/win to me.

on the other hand, theres an awful lot of heat over any change thats not RP, while everyone makes a point of recognizing we are like the 3 percent minority ( hell, could be bigger, but who knows?) which I also dont really ghet - if its that egregious, theres always Everquest, neh?

< shruhs> not poking p[eople in ribs here, I juits fail to understand the grief people attach it. We are an RP minoity, always have been, always will be, and WoW/Blizz doesn't cater to us. Simple as that.

Me.. I just play on, and when or if it gets really annoying, theres other games out there.
