I don't know what category this should be under...

But like, what if we had a new Race of something like a centaur? you know, half person half horse. And you wouldn't even need MPM for it you'd just have to rp it. like it'd be cool, because there could be different classes and levels of society in the race. i dont know it's a really cool thought I was pondering while playing with MPM in creative.
They could have like classes for their certain body types and carry certain weapons depending on their ranks and stuff.
-Archer
-Swordsman
-Axemen


Thoughts?

I feel like work needs to be done to flesh out current lore before adding or reworking anything else.

Of course, but there are entire pages and plot holes. It's important to finish what we have first, then add.

Well, currently we're done with all the lore and races that we have right now. It'd be interesting if we had a few more races and choices in rp. It'd be interesting.

That's actually not... right... What about the new continent they recently released? There isn't a wiki page for a lot. We need to finish first, then expand, and even then, centaurs are very mainstream.

Elves, orcs, dwarves and other races are mainstream too, your point?

We modified them to be unique. Orcs will not have two hearts and dark eye whites anywhere else, there will be no isldar, etc etc etc. Centaur are incredibly limited in their expansion, as they are just men with horse legs. Our lore team is incredibly creative and I know they could work with it, and I'd be fine with it in the end, but I'd much, much rather we finish what we have.
 
Also, the Kleinfolk are almost exactly the same as this race would be, considering most Kleinfolk tend to be humanoid animals and yet theres a fair amount of people who don't use MPM but rp as them.

All of the other races are finished! We can have multiple moderators working on multiple different things! All that we haven't finished is the new world right? If that's the case then we can have some mods working on the world page and some working on the race page(s).

True. So? It's not the horse men that I'm against, it's how much of a pain it is to make them unique.

There is a lot more than the new world, and we need to focus on that still. I don't have a list, but I feel efforts should be focused on finishing what there is to finish.

Who exactly said they would have to have JUST one heart? They could have perhaps two, one in their chest and the other in the horse section. also, who said they'd have a set look? theres hundreds of different fur colors and skin tones, there could be no end to the people who make their characters unique, even I could write an entire book on just different fun things about this race. The lore staff do excellent jobs conveying the info we already have and expanding on it. Theres already so much information and the only thing that really hasn't been touched is the new world. heck centaurs could POPULATE the new world. You never know.

It doesn't particularly matter, it'd be easier to add something while making other things then to add it after and have to blend it in somehow.

It's not the uniqueness of characters, and how cool it is to have two hearts that was my point, my point was that we have strong unique lore. The two hearts and horse butts were not at all related statements.

My point is this:

Maybe there is enough, and we should focus on minor things, like flora and fauna. We have no need for new races. We have more than twenty, with sub races. I think we've expanded enough now that finishing and then building off of that would actually be the easiest path.
 
First you were saying we have too little, now you're saying we have too much. A new race could be introduced with the new world. theres never a limit to the capacity of what they could do with this server.

The stuff we currently have is plenty expanded in a lot of peoples eyes. if you have an issue go make another thread and/or msg staff about it. atm this thread is just talking about a centaur race in general, not if its going to be added it. I doubt any staff have even looked at this thread
 
This thread was made to describe and to kinda see who would agree and what ideas we could create together as a community.
 
Ideas to implement some sort of centaur race have been in the back of my mind for quite a while, but it lacks serious implementation infrastructure. All furniture in Regalia is made for bipedal humanoids, all buildings are also sized for average Humanoids. Centaurs, in our opinion, would appear too alien in a relatively homogeneous racist capital, while I won't exclude the possibility of centaurs being implemented as background lore at some point, it lacks serious benefits to implement in the current lore as a playable race beyond simply being a niche people will try out for a couple of weeks and then grow tired of.
 
true but it is an awesome idea that was thrown around, however most centaurs (in most of the representations) are really tribal and wild than a whole refined and well groomed city like regalia, so technically they could possibly be living outside of the city in any wilderness. plus they are also known to be skittish, like their non human counterparts

I've also been thinking about centaurs for a while and think I have some ideas to add to this thread. If we follow the old mythology centaurs are warriors, as well as astronomers, excellent land navigators and trainers. The implantation of this new race could be really useful for many parties. The ailors could benefit from a race of vigorous trainers, the Chein'ji from fellow star gazers, etc. But it could also cause some strife with the elvish religion which has serious taboos against star gazing. Also it would benefit to have a speed based race. We have Orcs and Mekkets that can smash and Kliens and wulongs who can climb and jump, not to mention the many intellectual races. But besides Vamps we don't have a speed based race. This could add to a nomadic theme in a centaur race. Also thinks of the jousts!!!
 
I still think kobolds should be a race, they're not common in roleplay but offer a speedy, not-so-bright race that gets looks down upon for being associated with thieves.
 
The real race Massive has been missing is....

Gnomes!!!

You know you want them....

Besides Massive has a distinct lack of magically awesome technology, and they can keep the dwarves company as they slowly dwindle into extinction due to no one really playing them.

I think they could be a subrace? I'd like more focus on the war between Dakkar and Dwarves, maybe some world progression stuff.

Well- Centaur's do definitely sound like a good thing in Theory- Planning it out would be.. Pretty hard.

And as for having a new Beast Race? I feel like bringing back the Avarr would be, Interesting- But as, something else maybe? Maybe a bird like Race, but that's just, a lot different from how the Avarr use to be? Instead of worshipping the sun, and being lunatics that are Kill on sight, something else? I know how hard it'd be to conjure up an entirely new race, But, I've been wanting to see something like the Avarr in the massive lore for quite a while now, just, a bird race. I'm sure others would want to maybe see this too.

Maybe like how the Klein can be a bunch of different small animals, maybe a bird race that can resemble different birds and have different traits/characteristics based on those.

Oh- I've seen a post about this, they didn't do this because of the fact that Klein are all based on Mammal subraces, Birds come under a different class- so, that's why that hasn't been done yet- I think.. Correct me if I am wrong.
 
I have four ideas I would like to pitch to you all
1.Volar-The Dragon Born- A race of human that had a great link to the dragons. The Volars look like humans but have brightly coloured eyes and serrated, fang like teeth like a dragon. The are known to have slightly hued skin.

Vulps- a Dargon race smaller than Thylan's that look like foxes. Known as great architects they Vulps would make great cities inside mountains. Also greedy, Vulps would store great treasure in there dens.

Leydenite- more of an Ailor culture Leydenites are known as the great explorers making large fleets to charter the most unexplored areas. Devoting there lives to the sciences Leydenites are master engineers.

Tutors- a new Orc race cousins to the Orcs, Tutors are Blacksmiths. Living in volcanos Tutors make everything from weapons to art. With skin the colour of ash and hair the colour of fire the are unmistakeable. Large, muscular and with tusks. The biggest difference is they are a docile race...unless provoked.
 
In my opinion, what you're describing sounds far too similar to the T'oree. I see no need for a new race for something already existing within lore.

the big difference though, is that the T'oree aren't fully like half animal. That'd be the main difference between them and centaurs. most Qurebo all only had a few characteristics of animals, meanwhile a centaur would be exactly as it states, half man/woman half horse. with possible horns. Besides, the T'oree are Sheep/Goat/Deer manimals. Not exactly what id envision a centaur being.

I believe they had a bird race a few years back and the idea failed miserably...

Oh, Yeah, That's what I meant when saying 'Avarr' that was the name of the Bird Race, But what I was saying was- Trying to bring back the Bird Race concept, Anthropomorphic Birds and what not- But, not going off of the Old Avarr lore, And making something entirely new- I do understand, making an entire Race, will take, lots, upon lots of time- But, still, It would be amazing to see- And again, if they weren't K.O.S, I'm sure people would play them too!

Why were they K.O.S anyway? That sounds less like a bad race and more like a shit things staff threw in for lols because fuck everything? XD
 
How to make Centaurs unique:
1. Instead of half horse it would be half cow. Bull for males. ( @Kushiban )
2. Would be called something other than Centaurs.
3. Have them be super primitive.
4. Herbivores. They have to eat grass a lot.
5. Females are bigger than males and are slower. Males are smaller but fast. No horns. Males have huge amounts of testosterone so population increases quickly.
6. They live in grasslands and don't build shelters. (They are almost like animals.)
7. A language that is super simple. Only the smartest of this species can learn common, basic common. (Extremely smart individuals in this race are like 5th to 6th grade kids irl. Dumbest are like animals.)
8. Aggressive species. Will charge with... will write more.
