Racial leaders?

one EXTREMELY good suggestion!

we can have that too, it does not have to be race leader, it can be... race Oldie, GrandPa, GrandMa...

perhaps of those who have been playing for the last 7 days, being active, logged in or something.... and are at least levels 10-100 or 20-100 or 30-100 or something...

hafta think this.

Instead of giving stat boosts and such, I would rather see something along the line of cheaper services (like shops or something, dunno) given to the racial leader, with the context of respect. Also something good for OTHER players in the players party, eg. they have respect, hence they try to impress (Dunno, something.) Also, somesort of racial councils would be fun, ("No, you're not fit to be a halfling! FORCEREINC!" No, not really. But something.) Also something could be implemented for monorace parties, ie Brogh + Dwarf army doesn't play out that well (The brogh stomping on the dwarf all the time? Ouch. Poor brogh.) This would allow somesort of Race leader eq also, Like if someone surpasses the leader, there'd be a seremony and sh-omething. And maybe in some futuristic largescale event-quests the racial leaders could have something to say as to where the events go (some sort of sports-event? Warlike-contest event? Like race leaders acting as the commanders or something.) Well, just ranting on, really.

All the intelligent races in Icesus already have a racial "leader".

Other councious but unintelligent races could have representatives or spokesmen who speaks for their bland and shallow genepool.

Although, racial leaders have no saying in any matter. It would be a nice touch to add into the game. How a spokesmen(leader) is selected should vary. Orcs, firbolgs etc would listen to their strongest, most formidable fighter of their race, never a spellcaster. Some others would follow the oldest person or longest beard. Races with Hive communities would have a female leader, obviously.
Depending how a racial leader is defined, they could be challenged for their leadership, mostly for races that follow the strongest leader. While others would have until-they-step-down leaders (reinc out).

Benefits of leadership : Nothing.

Is prestige and a title really benefits? :o

N00bs will just bombard you with tells and silly emotes, which in my book counts as a great big _burden_!

That could depend what you are playing to achieve - You might get a kick of being something unique, say, the richest player or the highest level air priest or whatever.

racial leadership sounds great,it would be again one more goal to reach. players and games needs driving forces and i dont see any "why nots" about leading some particular race.
