    I like the halfling look and I really like how the art is uniquely halfling, like nthe designs and banners. It reminds me a bit of a cross (mash-up?) between Native American and Celtic cultural vibes and one more, I can't put my finger on.

    Hair braiding. I can see halflings being the best at hair braiding. People would come from all over to have their hair braided by halflings- OR- halfling braiding would only be allowed for loved ones, not strangers. Imagine the first Archai to have it's long white flowing hair braided by their Halfling-love!

    Loved this newsletter guys!

     

    I'm an old school purist and you guys have completely and overwhelmingly drawn me in to your definition of a Terminus Halfling, without begrudging any of the changes.

     

    The whole Lyone story arc is my absolute favorite of the lore.

     

    Love all of this.  The only (minor) thing I'll hope for is maybe a way the Halflings can be very nature-defined but more vegetarian/vegan.  I'm not IRL btw, I'm just thinking maybe not ttoo much skins and bones?

    I second this.   While I will never play a bard,  I want other people playing them!

    The newsletters keep getting better. These are the details and behind the scenes info we all need. This race is very tempting to roll.

    To agree with other people you guys at VR are making it hard to choose a race. i was already torn between ogre/skar/archai now i have to add halfling to that.

    you guys just want me to make 100 alts dont you?

    As someone who has never made alts, and always been primarily a 1 character person, my decision is even more difficult!

    You're in luck.  The progeny system will allow you to play multiple races on your main character.

    Well, normally I don't play Halfling or Hobbit style races.... but this design I may very well create a Halfling Druid as an alt. Really love the look of them. This was a really nice an in-depth newsletter, thank you to everyone for taking the time to do this!

    Awesome newsletter, so far Halflings are my favorite race over all. I would like you to consider atleast a little toe hair please. As of right now they kinda fit into a mix of Kender(Dragonlance)/Woodelf, but a little bit of foot hair would rock =).

    You're in luck.  The progeny system will allow you to play multiple races on your main character.

    I just need to point out that this is actually not true. Kilsin said "the basic Progeny principle is to just create a child/level 1 character of your max levelled character's race" (Source: https://www.pantheonmmo.com/content/forums/topic/2870/progeny-system/view/page/2 ;)

    However, we still know almost no details regarding the progeny system yet as it is still being worked on and what we do know is always subject to change, so it's best to not make any assumptions at all until we get an official reveal.

    Amazing work folks.  I love your idear of making the Halflings different, but not just for the sake of being different but for a reason.  Especially reasons that tie into their lore.  Kudos!!

    Can you please copy and paste the quote Baz?  The link doesn't work for me.

    You really will be limited to the race of the character of your previous play through?  That is news.  I hadn't heard that.

    Now I need the Bard class......a Halfling Bard will have so many tales to tell (or tails to pull).

     

    Don't be pulling my Dark Myr's tail..don't care how cute your halfling is :D
