My primary argument here is why would you dictate what a person is allowed to RP? If they want to RP something outlandish simply for the sake of being special, who are you to deny them that? Even if it were the case that the majority of these people just want to be something special, they would just find another way to make their characters super crazy anyway, like schizophrenia or multicolored eyes or multi-toned skin or something.

This was the endpoint of my opinion too- as long as they aren’t being created for the sake of causing grief to other players, which they are not, then people should be encouraged to play what they enjoy and have a good time. Boxing something out that isn’t particularly harmful because you would rather someone play another human or elf just because that’s what you want to play (which there is literally no short supply of) is distasteful to me. People come here to relax and rp- fluidity should be tolerated if not celebrated. Personally, I play a descendant as my main, I wouldn’t ever play a satyr, but do I want to rp with them and get to know their lore/what they bring to the table as a perspective of a different creature? Yes!!

I really like this lore, and would be interested in playing one myself. As for all the talk of cliches, it's fantasy... it's all cliches by this point. The whole human-elf-dwarf-orc thing is the foundational cliche of the fantasy genre. I don't think being 'cliche' has any impact on how fun or meaningful the rp of a race is. It's different from any of the playable creatures we have, as far as I know, and it's got an interesting twist on nature-y type rp. Plus, from what I've seen, they play well into at least a few of the towns around the server, and could add a bit of diversity and interesting rp to the server as a whole. 

I agree with this, Its not as if they are wanting to make a creature for the sake of harming/causing grief to other players. Im a big advocate in letting people play what they enjoy doing in RP - the group who play the satyr's and the groups who associate with them simply want to keep them around because they are fun and interesting and add some flavor to the RP which makes it fun. 

I personally really want to see the Satyr's unshelved. A lot of effort was put into the rewrite of the lore which in itself shows the interest of the player group to continue playing them. The Satyr's bring a really good dynamic to RP that is a lot more fun for a lot of people than simply being killed on the roads by Orcs or bandits, and makes LOTC less generic like every other server that has the Typical "Orc, Human, Elf, Dwarf" thing going on. There is no reason that a mating pair of Satyr's couldnt be able to reproduce, just like a pair of humans, or a pair of Kah - Orc, whatever. 

Love this!
