There's a difference between no evil at all, and no races being predetermined as evil. From what we know, evil in this world will be created by players through their actions. Do you choose to save the farmers, or help the Orcs pillage them? So to suggest that evil won't be present in the 'stories that we create as players' seems false. If anything, it seems player stories are the sole determinant in whether you are considered evil.
You need evil to have good. You need ugly to have beauty. You need punishment to have reward. All of these are missing from what we know about the game so far. This does not bode well...
I get where you are coming from buddy. But it's the wrong choice for EQN, or any RPG. DE's should start evil and you should be able, as a player, to overcome that and become non-KOS in "good" cities and able to succesffully group with "good" races.
That's my impression, too. Just like the gods, every race will have their strengths and weaknesses, but there will never be a purely "good" or "evil" race. So, instead of having ALL ogres being evil, there might be a faction of them that are militaristic/elitist and bend on world-conquest. But, there will be neutral ogres, as well?
Here's my response. It's a good model and is stylistically well done. His face is in a neutral mood position. If he was to show an angry face, consisting of a furrowed brow and open-mouth frown that exposes fangs - you may have had a different reaction.As one of the few people who really liked the human model, likes the dwarf model and didn't mind either the Kerran or the dwarf chicks let me just say you're full of shit on the DE model.
The issue with the DE model _isn't_ that it looks like fan art of Aladdin as one of Cameron's Navi. The issue is that it reflects the problem I had with the EQN Lore: there are no "bad guys" in EQN AFAICK. The DE artwork is not of an evil race twisted by Innoruuk, but of a bunch of sexually ambiguous elves that got dipped in smurf paint. The lack of (for lack of a better word) "evil" that we've seen so far in EQN is a bad sign. In the immortal words of South Park's Satan: You need evil to have good, so it must be good to be evil sometimes. Without a sense of evil in the world the stories that we create as players in the game will suffer.
The one rule from Disney that they should be following, but aren't, is that it takes a strong villian to make a good story, because good stories require obstacles that must be overcome, and the best obstacle is the master villian.
Disney's trick is to make a nasty villian and then add a cute evil pet for the kids.
Ya but I would still see some nice tits and a fine ass. Show me EQN's nice tits, what I see is some flapjacks, cellulite, buck toothed jugalow.

Should? Why should they? They've departed so far from the original EQ Lore, there is no 'should' at this point.
I honestly think he's a shill - not a paid shiill, mind you - but someone who works in SOE CS or something who didn't get fired. Nobody could be that obtuse.
