Lupin - make it a playable race!

[GrizzlyTank]

First, the lupin are surprising large...

Second, it would appear that they are the most cultured and social of the beast races working in cooperation with primarily doman society so it wouldn't actually be that surprising if they were made a playable race, although it would require a tuning of most helmets.

Lastly there wasn't a lot of need to provide customizaion for them yet, much like Yugiri's masked model, since they aren't playable.

My goodness, didn't expect this little thread to become such a heated debate, and this is only my third post!

Me personally? I don't think I'd use a lupin. But I suggested it (asked really) if anyone else would like to see this as a race because I love seeing racial diversity in a fantasy-style RPG, especially an MMO.

Why is it bad to have wolf-people, but okay to have voidsent-like humanoids and cat-girls/boys? Furthermore, I'd class lupin as no more a beast-tribe than other domans, they seem to be able to fully integrate said culture - on another side, I remember a quest in which an ala mhigan refugee in ARR wanted to summon rhalgr with the aid of the ascians. And need I remind you of what happened at the end of baelsar's wall? (does that make us a beast tribe? that we too can summon primals?).

Shhhhh, just let us love the wolf people. No need for all this hate.

Dibs on the name Robb Stark.

I wouldn't mind seeing the race playable if a facial option gave you a better muzzle than that. Its almost... fox like, rather than wolf like.

That said, I think for the ease of the story and such, I would much prefer it if you could get an item to transform you into a Beastman indefinitely, by reaching the highest rep with beast tribe quests.

Yesssss, do it!

[Pheryx]

After getting to see them in game, please make it happen!

[Clethoria]

I think that Lalafell, Au Ra (more like Augly Ra amirite?) and Miqote should be removed from the game.

So you want XIV shut down from bankruptcy. Ultimatum much?
