I've heard lots of people say they would not be opposed to playing an Orc or a Gnoll, and still others say they were surprised that Frogloks got added before them.

This is totally hypothetical, but if Project 99 were to add a race that still kept with the theme of classic EQ (like all the classic players wanting Kerrans if I remember even though we got Vah Shir) what would you play?

I really like Orcs, Gnolls, and these guys. Aviaks I think.

Gnolls or Aviaks would be great. Quite a bit sick of anthropomorphic furries though.

Creating custom skins for cloth, leather, mail, plate for these races would be impossible and by that I mean completely viable and sick as fuck.


Pretty sure in the back of everyone's head who's been here at least 3 years, classic doesn't need to be completely classic to feel classic.

Would it actually be impossible? Wouldn't you just need to edit the art assets?

And I'm not talking about anything too major. I'm talking about stuff classic players always wanted, like the Orc race.

man.. I would love an Aviak (better start with that model tho and add armor to it, not make a fucking retarded frog and call it a froglok like Sony did) and then make an archer class that plays similar to a bard, but is primarily a single target range/melee version of a Wizard..

Home city has got to be off of West Karanna tho too!

Yeah, I was thinking the current Aviak model would work. You'd just need to cut the faces out of helms for them. I don't know about the starting town, I was more just talking about adding a race first. I think if we were to add a new town that wouldn't remain classic, whereas popping in a new race (with CLASSIC model) wouldn't really make it less classic.

And I'd love to see an Archer class. I feel like Ranger could be one but it's hard with the arrow usage.

Orcs seem the most logical. Starting city: Greater Blackburrow (Surefall annexed muahahaha HA!).

Too close to qeynos! And barbs would get all rapey.

Out of any race, i'd probably pick a treant. Be hard to do much with visual armor, but would be pretty cool nonetheless

Um Blackburrow = Gnolls, not Orcs; Orcs are like half a continent away.

Personally I vote Aviak.

I've talked to a lot of group members, all of which identified as classic players. And I heard Orc the most. I thought it was pretty cool that people who want EQ to stay classic all seemed to be okay with a non-classic race as long as it was like, the classic model.
