Look at HELP MAGNAGORA:

There is no "blanket statement" as it was put before. Lord Fain has explicitly stated that Merian and Elfen are to be stripped of a majority of City Privileges and are to be blocked from access to the Megalith....don't believe us? Ask the others who tried it back when Open Beta started....and I believe that they all changed race or left as well so...be apprehensive all you want, that's the way it goes. And just because someone chooses Viscanti or Taurian doesn't mean that they are a "cookie cutter" by any means.

Yeah, the cookie cutter thing was a bit extreme. Just venting some frustration, my apologies. I guess I find it strange that my character lived in magnagora for so long and actually received power before this was brought to my attention. Sort of surprised me. Now that you and Silvanus have helped me on the facts I can accept the need to change. IC no one could really give me a straight answer on the Elfen ban, which is primarily why I started getting frustrated. Thanks again

I thought I recalled answering these questions of your IC at the Megalith? Or was that someone else I was talking to?

Seems like I recall being thanked for exactly what you were asking for here, straight answers on the ban. And I quoted the same sources.

*shrug* maybe it was another merian/elfen.

You mentioned the part from Fain's description, which was helpful. The information from help Magnagora and Felemar's information regarding what had happened when open beta started was new to me. Thanks to you as well for your contribution. After the IC discussion I still wasn't totally satisfied with the explanation and this OOC material has helped me to better understand the motivations behind shunning elfen and merians

I chose dwarf....just because their fun to rp as. And they have some nice combat advantages. the level 1 resistance to cutting and lbutn, combined with armour, plus the dracnori in rituals and toughness in athletics. you become a small little tank.
