Non-humanoid player races

in Camelot Unchained

Please oh please oh PLEASE give each faction at least one non-humanoid player race. All current Gen MMOs seem to think that there is no playerbase that wants to be able to play them. 

 

Clearly, give the Hibernia Doppleganger the coolest one, since they're going to be underpopped just like they were in DAoC, give Midgard's doppleganger the lamest, because i hate them. 

 

Any suggestions of what for who?

    Agreed.

    I'm very fond of exotic races. The stranger, the better! An insect type race would be awesome, more specifically, scorpion-like.

    Please, no, that would be rediculous. Its fantasy, sure...but based on Arthurian legend!

    This, I feel like the most off-humanoid thing that would fit well would half-ogres or something like from DAoC. I even feel little blue men push the limits, but they were so fun to punt I got over it :)

    If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.

    Ugh, That IS Humanoid.

     

    I'm talking Gryphons, or Dragons/Wyverns, or  Centaurs, Or the scorpion king! haha. 

     

    Why do people think keeping it cookie cutter is good enough? It's ONE race per realm that might have more legs, or no legs.

     

    non-humanoids make more sense than a human having sex with an ogre. I mean come on.

    Well, it's not always consensual.

    If pygmy goblins aren't a playable race I will be devastated.

    Because a playable dragon has been done before and that game got shut down rather quickly.

    Look at any MMO that has breakdown of played races and you'll see standard human at the top of nearly every game, with stuff like goblins and such near the bottom. They do it because it's popular and it's what a majority of people want.

    That being said in all honesty I don't care, just leave camelot to the humans and I'll kill vikings, celts, dragons, what the hell ever they throw at me :)

    EDIT: Oooh pygmy goblins. Sounds like a big idea.

    all we need is more Midget races.....Midgets are the best races to play in mmo's

     

    And midget Punting should be in the PVP also

     

    Punting a midget off a cliff would be soo much fun in pvp hahah

    It is a shame. The Valkyn were probably the least played race in DAoC. Despite being rather cool looking.

    "Because a playable dragon has been done before and that game got shut down rather quickly."

    Just do something different! Doesn't have to be a dragon, it could be anything with some sort of lore twist. Perhaps these are a caste of dragons that chose to align or co exist peacefully with the realm they chose. To show their loyalty they gave up a degree of power so as not to be viewed as such a threat? or something smarter.

     

    They have free reign to do whatever they want! That's what made DAoC so awesome. I mean honestly, the last expansion they made they added a cow player race.

    In all honesty I don't see over the top non humaoid races happening. The extra resources required to create all the animation, artwork for armors/weapon, swings etc would add undue costs when the vast majority wouldn't care. The majority play humanoid style characters in every game. A little flavor would be nice and while I'll think you'll see rare humanoid style races (similar to sylvan, inconnu, valkyn, troll, mino), I doubt you'll see something other than biped like a centaur.
