Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Lauront]

Same as with Au Ra face/horns issue... but few times worse, because hair are much important for character's fashion.



You are correct here, but there is an issue: July statistic isn't very accurate:

1. It's the start of the expnasion so there is a bunch of Returner players, who will likely leave the game again (and so they will leave "Active Players" section);
2. Some players swapped just to look at new race, not for maining it (as it was with Au Ra);
3. Some players swapped to try it, would be disappointed and so they will return to their original races (as it was with Au Ra).

At this, point, amount of Hrothgars (same as amount of Viera) would decrease a bit later. I would say that proper statistic with players who is actually sticked with new races will show up somewhere in August, maybe even September.

Though I think Hrothgars would be more popular than Roes anyway, their proportions are better, expect hunched back.

Still, from SE's POV, even if they don't stick with it, it's a lot of Fantasia revenue, so at least an initial lump of cash. The longer term focus in evaluating the investment would be on whether enough play it to justify on-going work that the race would require but I imagine the ratio for that is some way below where male Roes sit even.
