[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8808903, member: 6801228"] Okay. How is that harmed by having more options to try out? Remember, this was in response to Lanefan saying that we should be worried about the idea that other certain races are getting boring to people, because what will we do when these new races get boring. You don't play for a specific story, and that's great, but you can see how "trying out an idea" for 5 to 7 races is going to empty the things you feel like trying faster than having 60 races, right? This isn't trying to bash anyone's creativity or anything, but if I wanted to play a game, and that game had a set of three races and three classes, I will have tried all those options far far faster than a game with 30 races and twelve classes. It is pure, basic math. Which is why the "what will we do when bored of the new races" argument doesn't hold much weight with me. Because the "Core four" are only just now starting to lost their luster after decades. The new races are only just now getting a bunch of additional attention within the last decade. We are looking at potentially 50 years, and there is no reason to think that some of the old races won't cycle back in by that point. [/QUOTE]
