Regarding Races

in EverQuest Next

I happen to think races are one of the most enjoyable parts of the game, especially the emotes that go with them.

 

I'm loving the idea of leveling ONE character, so I really, REALLY hope that all the races are available at launch and not rationed out over years like SOE did with EQ2.

 

What's on your race wish-list?

 

My vote is for halflings. I just think they're fun :)

    Regarding races in a game where you might not make alts, since this a F2P game a cash shop option to change races will very likely exist.   If it doesn't at release, you can be sure it will when they add any new races since that's a money maker.   So if you make a character and a few years later something comes out you really want, there's always that if you have your heart set on it.

    Yeah, that's true. Hadn't thought about it from that angle.

    Starting races should be left to the original EQ races

    1. Human Qeynos and Freepot
    2. Barbarian Halas
    3. Dark Elves Neriak
    4. Halflings Rivervale
    5. Half Elves Qeynos and Kelethin
    6. Ogre Ogguk (personally they should half ogre)
    7. Troll Grobb
    8. Erudite Both Paineel and Erudin
    9. Wood Elves Kelethin
    10. High Elves Felwithe
    11. Dwarves Kaladim
    12. Gnomes Ak'anon
    I'm sorry, but the races should be humanoid..  Playing rats, snakes, butterflys cats  panda and cows need to be left for children's petting zoos..

    That's your opinion and I disagree with it, I find playing humans boring. I'm a human in real life, and for the most part I'm disgusted with the race as a whole. When I play something as a form of escapism I might want to imagine myself as something else. Also elves are lame and pansies, too effeminate for my tastes. 

    Also Iksar, I've always played Iksar and always will. Maybe I'm weird for wanting a nice aesthetic change, but atleast I've not jumped on the bullshit panda hating wagon.

     Sorry but I'm willing to bet a lot of those races won't be in at release. Erudites, Trolls, Gnomes, and wood elves are the most likely to be cut.

     

      EQ2 started with only 2 starting towns Qeynos, and Freeport. so don't get you hopes up for more then those racial towns at release either.

     

       EQN is a F2P game and doesn't have a big budget, so something are gonna be more limited then the original EQ

    unless they go the route GW2 did in choosing your race involves more than just changing out character models but can determine the course of the game, even if only the first 4 hours worth.

    I'll be highly disappointed if they don't put Iksar in. Hopefully they don't botch them like they did in EQ2. I'm not one of those old graphics only people, but the coloration was strange and their chest was too bulky for their relatively thin arms.

    Iksar are basically the only expansion race I ever really approved of. Rat people, Cat people, Frogs... they're all too cartoony. Honestly the reveal would have gone over much better if they put in a Ogre for a warrior rather than the Simba.

    Fae!

    I had a Fae Ranger in EQ2, and I loved the cute little guy. :)
