They will be, but not at release.
You can check our main page at www.heroshall.com and look at the races page. We've kept the Suwari's page up since they're not gone for good, just won't be in at launch.
Oh.. and try decaf!

Well, I'm a Prydaen at heart, so will be a Suwari at heart as well. I'm sure I'll pick Ilvari probably and hold space on my account for the Suwari as soon as they are released.
On a sorta related note, I make myself laugh in DR when I go from playing Naeya (Prydaen empath) to one of my other characters sans tail and try to use the tail verbs.
>tail curl
Silly Human! Your race has no tail!

They're not overdone, they're tradition! If a game didn't have humans, it would make me sad.. And they aren't ELVES per say, they're Ilvari. Magical beings with pointy ears.. Political correctness!

Re: Suwari???????!!!??!?!?!
Humans will always show up in some way (even if they're not named as such). There are many reasons why they're in almost everything, but the biggest is that they're us - it provides us with a prime, solid connection between reality and fantasy.
Elves traditionally contain the highlights of what humanity wants - beauty, brains, athleticism. Admittedly, though, a game can do without them if they're creative enough with the other races. It's kinda the route I'm taking in my story - I started with the idea of elves, then abolished them and added something that gives a vague resemblance to them.
And as for the other races - just be creative in what's presented and it'll work fine. Cat-people included.

Re: Suwari???????!!!??!?!?!
Oddly enough, I think it's the size of the suwari that will determine if I revive Tsuim in HJ. I generally prefer a more human, less cat build to my cat people (FFXI's mithra are my ideal for example) but as long as they're near the same size as an average human and not an average halfling I'm there
And please Simu, take as long as you like if it means that ears have expressions and tails can move ^^
And yes, elves are only ever "over done" if you fail to leave your pre conceptions of what an elf is behind and look at each lores pointy eared race as what they are, seperate beings.

Re: Suwari???????!!!??!?!?!
You really make me think I should write Antegea's Antonoment one of these days..
Yes, I'm without elves in my imaginary book.. I never really thought about it being that way because of them being over-used, though. It was just like that because everyone was actually a mutated form of a human. I believe people shouldn't be afraid of containing the classics. They're classics for a reason.
I think I know of more stories with dwarves than elves really, and no one complains about them.. The reason being, I think, because there's more people out there that say "I want to be an elf.." than "I want to be a dwarf.." All in the popularity since popular has somehow began to turn into "uncreative". Then again, that may just be the people around me and my town isn't really known for being creative in the first place.
Dwarves, humans, cat people, lizardmen, demons, gnomes, orcs, and something Trog-like... They're all becoming sort of like standards to the fantasy genre. Just because it's been done before doesn't mean a little spin can't be put on them and I think the ilvari have just enough spin to be considered ilvari before elves.

Kobolds! Well..In Suikoden anyhow..Funny how they had dog people before cat people. It's normally the other way around.
And..Yep! Burian is as dwarfy as Ilvari is elfy!
The same could be said for dog people.

Your posts, and anyone else's, will only get edited when deserved. Don't give us a reason and moderation will not be necessary. Simple fact.
