New race available!! Yay!!

Yes its Cathar. They had to cater to the furry community like most other MMO's do.

My plan is to play a Cathar because I would like to see some different species in the game. (c'mooooon Mon Cals!) The devs have said they want to see how the Cathar perform and if they do well it will let them know how willing players are to roll different species. I want to be part of the process that ushers in some different species.

I shall create a Cathar and call him "Liono." Unfortunately, that name is already taken on my server.

You don't get it, do you? I'm well aware that Cel Cawdro's came after the new species announcement, the porpuse of the poll however was "to aid BioWare in seeing which species the community desires more" not what are the most desired after they release the Cathar, the poll is asking about the most desired species NOW, and the Cathar were barely voted and they would have been barely voted even if they were not announced beforehand, that was my point all along. Talk about slow people in the room...

Also there was a guy that kept saying that Cathar won the previous poll, please provde a link for that poll because I have not seen it.

Well, they failed to take on WoW.

Now they are trying to take on Second Life. An opponent more evenly matched, most would say.

Wow you are stupid. The people who are still voting for Cathar aren't being counted because they obviously didn't pay attention to the part where Cathar are already being added. Most former Cathar supporters will not vote for an option THAT DOESN"T EXIST, seriously, scroll through the lists of contenders and those who aren't contenders(races such as Sarlacc which only have one vote) and you will see that CATHAR IS NOT AN OPTION IN THAT POLL.

Dude, that was an open poll, meaning there were no options, as you said. Nowhere in the thread Cel Cawdro said "you cannot vote for cathar" or "cathar are not an option".

The poll was pretty simple, name your top 3 species and the winners were Togruta, Neutolan and KelDor, which are iconic species from the movies, the series, the cartoons. If you think people were saying "yeah, I'm voting for KelDor becasue my favorite species, the Cathar are already on the way" you're crazy, pal!

Fine, go ahead and ignore THAT HE NEVER TALLIES CATHAR VOTES. EVER. THE OP REFUSED TO TALLY CATHAR VOTES, INDICATING THEY ARE INVALID because cathar are already announced . But fine, go ahead and live in your silly dreamworld where Cathar recieved ZERO votes, putting them under SARLACC as a playable race.

Maybe he never tallied them because he actually missed the 2 people that voted them. Seriously, I'm still waiting to see any post, link, thread, poll, anything that indicates that the Cathar species was something that people wanted in the first place.

As I said, if you think they would have gotten any votes even if they were an option you're crazy!

It's Cathar because they're the 'safe' option. The models will have no issues with clipping (well, aside from general clipping TOR issues we have anyway), unlike, say Togruta even though they too are already in game. Don't know why that would stop them though, seeing as they just get round the issue with Twi'leks by disabling hoods altogether and full face helmets making your lekku disappear completely.

I'm just glad they're actually adding *something*. Like everything else though, new races isn't going to be a regular occurence even if the current selection are rather underwhelming - Cathar included.
