    We already have half-elves, I would like to see the half-halfling

    Only if the other half is an ogre....
  5. Frael Elder

    There's no other half, it's just half a halfling. Top or bottom, you decide.

    I'd rather have a new expansion like TSS ( the one with valdenholm I think ) with content from lvl 1 to 110.

    16 races/16 classes is a deeply entwined limit in the code.

    My suggestion is to start with adding drakkin-like heritages to Dwarves, adding Coldain and Volcano-themed dwarves to work out the kinks in the code.

    Then fold half-elves into being a human heritage (with distinct dark/high/wood elf choices!) opening up the 16th slot for a distinct new race with multiple heritages.

    Gnome mounts please. Gnomes giving ogres shoulder rides at max speed would be a thing of beauty.

    Classes and Races are stored as an unsigned 4bit INT? EWWWWW

    It shouldn't be too hard to make that an unsigned 8bit int (0-255) however I'm assuming it would take a few passes to hit all the spots in the client and server where its referenced to make sure the data type has been updated everywhere. (again, just assuming the old codebase is a mess)

    If that is really the case, maybe they need to spend an entire expansion cycle improving the server code instead of doing an expansion. Done properly they could open up the ability to make interesting and customized TLP servers while removing or fixing some of the server-side issues caused by the old codebase. (Hopefully opening up some interesting new expansion options, too)

    Halfling bards. Make this happen, and baked goods will be forthcoming to DBG HQ.
