About this category[edit]

This category strikes me as a bit weird. Firstly, the wording of the lead text seems to suggest that we're expecting anyone of these "races" to be announced as playable any day now. Secondly, what does race mean anyway? - is it restricted to some notion of sentience or generally understood but poorly defined inherent playability (which I don't think a Golem would meet) or is this category better named as creatures (or similar)? Finally, I don't much see the point of categories at this early stage. Ultimately I'd like to delete the page, but want to see if anyone else sees value in keeping it. --Aspectacle 22:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I was gonna bring up the same complaints you did, but never got around to it earlier. It sounds weird, and "race" is undefined. Delete. Calor Talk 00:31, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

If so I think we should rename it instead of deleting it, it is clear that we will need a category like this sooner or later... (Darkdwarf) 19:05, 26 February 2008

I think we need it later, rather than sooner. No point atm. --- User Vipermagi Sig.jpg-- (s)talkpage 18:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Every race that isn't in Category:Playable races will be in this one. There is no need for this category as people will only be looking for the playable races category (or the article) when finding out about or sorting playable races. In my opinion, this category is redundant. --User Pling sig.png Plingggggg \ Talk 18:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I think people will be intrested in the background and storyline and stuff like that so then they would need this... (Darkdwarf) 18:44 27 February 2008
This has nothing to do with the storyline. Lord Belar 17:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I can agree with why you want it on this wiki, but there is a whole other wiki with the same (if not better) information. --User Pling sig.png Plingggggg \ Talk 16:12, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and removed the non-playable race tags and fixed the Races template based on the discussion here. I also found this category pretty confusing in general. Auslander 17:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
