Lol, I never really cared for the Vah Shir and I did think the Vah Shir looked a little better than the Kerran, but then I started playing... After I played a few characters that I thought I would possibly play when the game came out I tried a Scout and I ended up loving him (and I never thought I would play a scout, I was thinking I would be playing a mage and especially a fighter), but I plan on playing a good char and I had made an Iksar (and Frogloks weren't available), so I tried an Erudite because they look awesome in sneak, but their stats aren't good for a scout (btw, I didn't like the new Erudites either, I thought they looked like aliens, but the graphics on them are amazing and they look sweet as mages, and their runes shine in the sun and everything...OMG! So they grew on me too) so then I started a Kerran scout, because I like the looks of them when in sneak, then I started making him, and when adjusting his features I thought, these guys look better than I remember for some reason, and with their adornments, they can look pretty damn cool. So then I started playing as him and got armor and some weapons and he looked soooooo cool (until beta deleted him today )*8). So I thought Vah Shir looked better too, but after a while the Kerran grew on me, now I think I like the Kerran better, or at least if made as a scout they look better. Another thing though, they don't look much different, all races have changed a little bit, but I think most of you guys are dwelling on the name, WHO CARES ABOUT THE NAME. But also, once you start playing the game, you won't even remember Vah Shir ever existed. I LOVE the looks of the Iksar and I never get to play them because I always need to be in a spot that they won't let me be (I needed to be neutral in PvP on EQLive and Iksars were evil, or I need to be good in this game and Iksars are evil and I don't have the time to do the betrayal quest right away). And if you ever think "Oh, I'm not going to be a Kerra because they changed them for my beloved Vah Shir" just remember, it isn't going to prove anything to anyone, because no one will know that you're not playing one because of that. Just try one out sometime, I know you'll like it, all the races look about 1000 times better than anything in EQLive once you start playing. And it wouldn't be very smart to not take 1000kp this time around because remember, 100cp=1sp, 100sp=1gp, 100gp=1pp, so money is much much much much much much much harder to come by! 8D
