Races and skin colour.

[BigStackOfBeef]

Since all the race look more like a human then something else, I dont see any reason on why each of them should have their own colour. So, all race should be able to get all the existance skin colour that we saw in real life.

White,black,red,yellow and others.

In real life, the 1st human was an african. Then, we started to had too much human in one continent so we started to go all around the world to search food and other thing to survive. Thats why some started to become white, red,yellow others.

In MO, no matter how far they gone with the lore, i think all of them have the same descendant + 6 other descendant that made them, look different. So, if one race can be that colour, others should also be able to take that colout.

Skin tones are an evolutionary trait based on how much vitamin D your body needs to manufacture from exposure to sunlight and how much protection is needed from the sun.

See the world map picture on this page for a neat mapping of skin tone to sun intensity.

Anyway. My point is it can go either way. We are being given one continent and if in the right place you would get at least some variation in skin tone. Or even more than that, maybe some people have migrated in.

So it's feasible to have many different skin tones, and imo beneficial to the immersion of the game. I prefer to play a character who as the same skin tone as myself as I like to see a projection of myself in game.

Allowing players to construct an avater they can relate their self image to is really important.
