A neutral race

Postby Karae » Sat Dec 20, 2003 8:23 pm

If this becomes permenant with the humans being a new neutral race, evil/neutral ones that is. Why not make a new race of Half-Orcs. I'm sure this race has been brought up before, but why not do it now. Now we have both humans, and orcs, something we didn't have awhile back ago.

Half-Orc's if they choose to start with evil alignment could start in Bloodtusk, while the ones that chose neutral alignment can start in Baldur's Gate.

Of course the neutral would be able to group with both sides. And have the ability to change their alignment to good.

But have them where they are still not welcome in any goodie hometown. It would bring more diversified race list, and could possibly add another race for goodies to have a shaman in. Don't know. Just an Idea.

how would half-orc be neutral, but half-elf is not?

Because that elf half would still hate the evil races. They'd have to at least go on an epic quest to find an archtherapist that would absolve them of the inner conflict they'd feel around evils.

And if you want to be more realistic along those lines, half-elves shouldn't be allowed on evermeet, as they are typically shunned by elves, and humans alike. :P

Don't know why you hate it. It sounds like a good idea to me...since we have evil humans grouping with evils now.

Because the mud doesn't need more races, it just needs the outcast system reinstated.

The mud does need more players. The number and variety of races is plenty. You guys can do your part by voting on the links we provided on the homepage and by telling your freaky friends that you mud! You know you want to.

Sadly I find it very hard to believe we will be able to increase the players here by any noticable amount. Muds are a bit like nintendo. To those of us that grew up with it, it still rocks. If you showed it to your average kid they would ask you where the PS2 was at. Hopefully I'm wrong but I would guess the only 'new' folks we can get would mostly be stolen from other muds (and that population is declining). In my view the game will always be for the core few hundred of us that have been around for awhile, a small populcation of new additions, and hopefully a few friends we can ensare into toril-life in the future.

Super-strict edition of Toril/Sojourn that demanded a lot out of its players and was a real challenge = hundreds.

Dumbed down version = crickets.

And before some twit comes in saying "There's no way that's the only reason Sojourn's pbase has dropped" please note that I'm not saying that's the only reason. I was just saying that a challenge draws more people into muds than this present cakewalk will, because a challenge leaves people feeling like they accomplished more at the end of their mud session. Sojourn actually used to have an atmosphere... imagine that. As much as people bitched, there were quite a few that truly appreciated an atmosphere with more depth, because it gave the entire mud world more depth.
