elapid Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I don't think all the work put into making us be different races would be worth it although if we ever could be different races i would probably just stick with human or maybe become a gnome. 99 range 6.12.09 / quest cape 8.16.09 / 99 construction 2.17.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderTheRunes Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Main Problem fairies and zunaris members only Elves members only lower the list down to orcs dwarves and vampires and you have a better arguement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega_vegeta6 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I just cant see it happening as you'd have to rewrite alot of conversations based on race. On top of that there would be a need to create new models for all weapons armour and animations if you introduce Non-human races as ork and dwarf. If you dont make it runescape 3, and totally rebalance the whole game, i cant see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1reatalot Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I love this idea but JaGex never was a big fan of bringing in things from WoW and races is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J35u5_M4 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Either Human or Elf, I can't stand looking at things that are not human. And if JaGeX made this update, we would start reading... 'wtf jagex overpowered ffs u ruined the game i quit' 'wtf???? not fair bring back old rs' 'new races? clearly sailing!' 'L0L wowscape or something [cabbage]?' Yeah...We're good the way we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Omar_Iv Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 runescape is way too far along to put the option of changing or choosing a different rce int he game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdboyxxx Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just as a note, I'd be an Ork. Because Bandos is awesome :thumbsup: I still don't mind the idea though, but it would be hard to implement :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forerunner Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I wouldn't be too happy with the idea. The thing I like about RuneScape is that everyone starts out on equal footing (what happens from there is up to you), but with games that do offer race/class selection, you'll find that all races have advantages & weaknesses. Unless choosing a race was purely cosmetic (& perhaps a different respawn location for each race), I think it would throw things off balance. And as someone mentioned before, story lines in quests & lores also restrict what/where your character of a certain race could do, wear, BE etc... Only fear God,Know the weapons of the weak,The weakness of the hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstarmafia Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I agree it would be hard to implement, but It could definitely be really cool and I like the race ideas! Get ratty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3hitm4g3u Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 For them abilities you listed i'd be either an Icyene or a werewolf. But I'd be up for race being nothing more than a cosmetic addition, with no special abilities for any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAGamer Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The simple fact of the matter is while classes, if overhauled, would be wonderful visually, it'd be most irritating to have the special abilities. I myself tend to be an obsessive/compulsive perfectionist, and try to get everything to its best. The best armor I can find, the holy wrench to maximize prayer potions, etc. I would really hate to have to pay a sum of gold to change my class just so I can go pking. (And I would, an added max of 2 for a werewolf could mean the difference between a failed or succeeded bh rush.) or swap to a dwarf just so I can smith something. Even if that wasn't an option, I have not the time nor the patience to train 5 seperate characters. I'm among the group who would consider the concept intruiging, but those kinds of effects would really send me for a loop. this link kills spam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
