The Mana World Forums

So, I proposed that Elven and Raijin be merged into a single race with multiple skin choices to reduce the total amount of races from 7 to 6 (they were too many and also even numbers work better). My second proposal was to rename this new Elven/Raijin race as the name "Elven" isn't that great.
The most obvious option to me is to maintain the name "Raijin", from one of the two merged races, since it doesn't sound bad at all and saves us from having to force a new name on both Elven and Raijin players, changing it just for Elven(s).
I put together a few other options as well

P.S.
I'm also trying to get rid of anything slightly related to "elves" as they're overused by lots of RPGs and MMORPGs out there!

I bump this thread, right now it's going to keep the Raijin name.
Nothing against?

I had set an expiry date on the poll. The majority seems to agree with Raijin, I would proceed with making the changes.

It didn't got to be Elvan, so yea. Voting booths are closed!

Right, I add this on the todo then, we kill elvan and we add his skin on the raijin('s race).
*hides*

What will happen to Elven and Raijin players now?

They'll be merged into the Elven race, a sub-color of the White elven will be called Raijin.

Sub-colour = different race? What's the point of merging them then?

Ah good point, I forgot latest posts... It will be named Raijin for all of the sub-colour.

Does there need to be a subcolour? The reason why I suggested merging the races is because there was too many confusing options already.

4144 wanted to add skin-color support and some accessories like scars and such, to make every players looking like every other players. I'm for having more distinction between players, without it being too much. Limiting races kind in profit of sub-race/skin will mainly help in not having too many stat difference (every races will have it's own stat bonus).

We will now have 6 races, we might hide some of them for the aurora1 as we won't add every skills in game (thief and magic won't be there).
