For some reason when I imagine specializations in Hallifax, I always think that lucidian will be the spec race for the guardian guild (maaaybe they could get it for Aeromancers too), and that trill would just get a spec for the Aeromancers and the warrior guild. (I also suggest that the name "Matrix Legion" be deleted and replaced with something cooler.)
My reasoning is that the lucidians always struck me as the more scholarly and scientific bunch, and the Institute of the Matrix screams scientific and full of scholars and the like, always exploring the great mysteries of the Basin and experimenting on things like their progenitor (just look at Arthar'rt), and since the trill are obviously the more artistic, emotional and charismatic side to the trill + lucidian equation, the Aeromancers and the warriors struck me as what they would have gravitated towards.
To me, it really makes sense this way, considering that Trillillial was the sun, the fire and the sky, to Xyl's cold and crystalline exterior. The trill are similarly the more passionate and fiery side in relationship they share with the more reserved and logically inclined lucidian.
But that's just my take on it. I goes hide now.

I like this idea and never considered the fact before that most were expecting -two- specialized races for the city. Surely the intention was not to give two branches of specced races for the same city?
That begs the question... -If- this is the intended outcome, should current race setup be skewed away from the specializations to allow for variety when the city -is- released?

Boy, the admin suck!
But we do have a clever plan which I think many of you will appreciate!

You probably do.
But given your track record with "lets put the things on live for a bit and see how it works out", my point still stands.
Edit: As in trying to keep the changes from going live as long as possible while there's still a lot of debate about them is a BAD IDEA from the players perspective, because it usually means things are going to stay that way for another two years of complaining about races being majorly imbalanced before another rushed overhaul happens.

I might be the only one who thinks it, but the numbers people posted (from the server powered by a hamster on a wheel, yes, I know) don't show enough of a slowdown to warrant a mugwump upgrade, especially when you consider what mugwumps have done to game balance for so long. If every mugwump in the game doesn't feel absolutely shafted, the admin did something wrong.
Just dont make it a you were all so powerful for too long you should all suck to repent. Thats bad.
They are a bit slower.. what used to be 3 seconds to hit with is now 3.5. .5 seconds matters alot with things like writhe, focus times, and healing.
You just like to try to argue things dontcha xav?

Furrikin still hasn't gotten any love. I still think Lucidian can do with another point of intelligence, and Trill should have an influence bonus at Empower battles (they strike me as good at that). That's my thoughts at least.
Although... shouldn't Dracnari get more of a boost too? Or is the Alcohol bonus enough to push them up from being "unplayable"?

I shall preempt the divine and say Furrikin and Dracnari will be spec races eventually. Like Trill and Lucidian.
