Viera didn't blow up as big as we all thought.

Not being short is probably the biggest reason for most. Which is odd if you think about it, I'm still getting use to it myself tbh.

I ended up switching to Elezen before release for a bit so I could get used to the height differences. I absolutely love my viera though, I don't think I'll be going back to Au Ra or Miqo but I do have alts of those races lol.

Come to Hyperion if you want to see Viera and Hrothgar. We takin' ova.

I'm glad. I didn't want to be just another in a sea of bunnies. :P

Pretty much the title. Quite a lot of people stayed au ra and miqo'te.

There has been a lot of times in dgn and trial I was the only bunny. Odd but viera didn't blow up as big as au ra did where almost everybody was one.

I know two people who changed back from viera to their original race because they missed having their old hairstyle.

Glad they didn't spend time on Male Viera... but I wasn't ever planning on changing.

Honestly, I'm surprised there as many Hrothgar as I've seen.

It fills a niche that was missing. I tend to go for the more beastly races in RPGs I play, including table tops. Roegadyn was the closest, but it was still just a tall guy with a tiny head.

Actually you are the one in denial,thats like 90% of the veira i see.all glamoured in their starting gear (or lack there of)

It's entirely possible that's just on your server. On Zalera the only place I've encountered Viera running around in their starting gear is in starting cities, ostensibly on new characters, where I would expect to see that. I have not seen it at all in Stormbringers areas. And I do mean at all. I can't recall seeing a single Viera in a Stormbringers area in their starter gear.

For me, I tried Viera, spent a day as one, was unhappy, went back to Au Ra, but then played around with the character creator some more and found a Viera look I like, so I'm sporting that for the moment.

And I am not wearing the starting gear. I'm not even sure if I have any for Viera. I don't think it gave me any when I changed. Would probably need to buy it from a vendor.

Male Roe’s population has been cut by half.
I hope they ain’t gone extinct.

gotta keep in mind these forums account for maybe 3% or less of players so they don't really represent much
