Well, maybe some of the Popori are female. I mean you really can't tell whether it's a male or female for a lot of animals without close study.
^ While this may be true, the only clear indication I think gave away that Popori were male were the voice choices. I could be wrong though.
still, that don't explain why Elins would awaken only the males? why not female animals too?
sounds like the Adam and Eve story from the bible. the man, were lonely, then god decided to make women , from one of Adam's ribs. see the resemblance?p
if the Elins wanted a male, why not just ask the goddess to make them one?P too many plotholes in the story if you ask me!p
and if you really think about it, there is alot of creepy things in it as well!p
The various plot holes should be your first clue that the lore is of lesser importance in the long run, at least to the Developers.
Here are a few observations (not facts) about Asian MMO's that I have.
One, it is cheaper to make only one gender of a particular race and / or class in terms of artwork necessary so corners are cut in this area quite frequently. (fortunately they don't have gender specific classes, that causes more discontent than Tera's system)
Two, more men play MMORPG's than women, I've seen ranges from a high of 35% females (WOW) to a low of 5% (EVE) and the fact is, more often than not men relate to male characters, hence races/classes tend to heavily favor males over females.
Three, when men do play female characters, seems like the number one reason is because they enjoy looking at an attractive backside of their avatar. Notice most of the humanoid females are very attractive in Tera (and largely underdressed) again appealing to the larger male player base. Female animals just aren't going to cut it. (though it does raise disturbing questions about the Elin, I'm not going to go there)
Four, but speaking of the Elin, it does seem to be one of the two cute races, so I presume it is attractive to the female audience and the developers figure they've got that segment (female dominated) covered. I also assume this would cover the younger audience as well, (along with the Popori) but not sure if this is a title well suited to younger players. (is any MMORPG really?)
In the end, the lore is woven around the finanical concerns and social designs intended by the developers and the plot suffers for it.
oh in Tera not only females are attractive. they gave us girls plenty of eye candy too!p male castanics with nice abs. muscular, handsome, masculine humans. elegant, graceful handsome high elfs!p
i guess i most be one of the exceptions among the girls, Elin is my less Favorite race, i would never consider playing one. I love Female Amans though. so i most be really atypical, i agree with you, that many girls seem to like the Elins though

One girls attractive looking male is another Males craptastic looking Metrosexual feminine nightmare. The game looks and feels like it was either desined by an androginous person or someone hoped up on estrogen. The cutsey flootsie design looks bad IMO, If it only had the art direction and grittyness of a Neverwinter I might of given this game a 2nd look.

Originally popori and elin were the same race. EM changed it around to seperate them and made how they were created differently.
In the original version(korea) they were both created by Eluni and even in the original Ktera character creation they were both listed as popori and the elin were just a female version. All the client files still show this, Elin are listed as "Popori_F".

Popori Orphans ......Hello????
An orphan is a child whose parents both had died.
So poporis have parents.
Because if they dont, those critters should have being called "kids" or "children" but they chose to call them "orphans"
See my point?

I like your logic, you should apply it to the bible. God created man in his image, so shouldn't we all be men?
;P

The NA version had its lore changed and the popori(the hamsters) were created by the Elin themselves.
For me, I'm glad this is not the case!
