Alot of ppl wanted to play the mithra race for its high dex and pretty much got forced to be female characters. Some others though like it for anime reasons. I feel we need all genders for this game since there isn't lore saying they are rare. We do need them in a sence because it seems odd so have single gender races again. It makes the realm feel more alive to see both genders for ever race/ clan. SE was going to have all genders but didn't have the man power. And Most so the male mithra it was a much wanted choose more so after the tease with wing of the goddess.

Its hard to really explain the need. But i think it makes the realm feel more "real" if all genders for each race/clan are present.

remember the miqo'te are not set up like Ze;lda gerado (sp) anymore where a male was rare. Nor are the reo genderless.
