Skavens?

Are you thinking about adding Skaven as a playable race? I always wanted them to be playable, We dont need any new classes, just the Skaven races.
Thought on this? Would people like to see them as a race or not?

The rat race to whom you refer are spelled Skaven.

Personally, I would LOVE to have Skaven widely available. A 3rd realm ganking system could be awesome. For instance, full parties can decide to "switch" to their Skaven counterpart class wise(tank/dps/heal) and then go basically FFA in the Tiers. I know of a few smallish groups that would love this. Not to mention a full WB of skaven running around would be hilarious:P

But I doubt they are high priority by any stretch of the imagination.

The devs are trying to extract extra armor from game, to make it wear-able, so i think creating whole new race is beyond impossible

I think its possible but no one need that

Not be able to switch between your char and a Skaven when you want. I mean you shall create a new character, and that character is a Skaven

Well, that's how it was on Live. You just didn't join a 3rd realm. And to lvl a Skaven from 1, would entail far more work than setting a "3rd realm" that was switchable(via tokens, gold, whatever).

Was just a Magic Wand Waving idea:P

Playable race? Hahahahaha

WARNING* wishful thinking below (Read with own caution)

If they know how to extract models from existing NPCs (And rig them), they could extract models off Skaven and use them as armor sets. They could re-use ability icons, and at first introduce Skaven as something akin to 'monster play' in LOTRO.

Instead of a 3rd realm, they could even split the Skaven in half, with one clan siding with Order, and another with Destro. This would save time and work, of course. If ever there were to be another playable race, Skaven would be the most likely since it has the most assets.

Of course, this most likely will never happen (But even a chance in the FAR future would be exciting). Maybe we could recruit some tech-savvy members from the forums and have them work on it aside from the RoR team, perhaps a player addition made by players and non staff that could one day be introduced and then balanced by devs.
