no vah shirFollow

kerran, they're also called kerrans, look for kerran

Actually, the race is called the Kerra, Kerran is a descriptive term for them (I'm in beta, so I know). :) Anyway, yes, most of the Vah Shir were killed when Luclin was destroyed (for reasons as yet unknown). There were some Vah Shir who had returned to Norrath prior to said destruction and inter-mingled with their Kerra cousins. So, the Kerra of EQ2 are a more evolved version you are familiar with in EQLive.

Sorry Vah Shir are not in game. Actually, its a shame they even brought Vah Shir into the game. There were located on Kerra Isle; why not just have a band of them on Luclin, instead of creating a new race? Essentially, they are the same.
And in regards to physical features, all the races are a bit different than in EQ1.

My second choice would be Froglok but you cant even be them either until after other people do some kind of serve wide quest.

I haven't heard this about Froglok's, so what kind of quest has to be done to achieve Froglok status? I am very curious...

I'm also wondering... Supposedly the person who does it will gain serverwide recognition.

I want to find it and do it...

All hail Aarthar, Dwarven Priest who freed the Froglocks!

Nobody knows what the quest is. They haven't implemented the quest for us beta testers, and have stated that it WON'T be put into beta. It's for once the servers go live only. So no shortcutting. :)

Froggys are the only race that look exactly the same as in EQlive. There are allready some Froglok NPCs in Qeynos.

I agree, that the Kerran is not as desireable, appearance wise..
The female Kerran is a tall, skinny, raggedy looking creature.. I miss my Vah Shir, already...And I miss my Beastlord...(She was one and the same)...I keep hoping for an expansion that will bring her back.. *pouts** I also think the appearance of the Erudite is extremely lacking...Such a sad and dreary, blah looking creature...I feel that if you pick a character, you want it to be acceptable to be looked upon with some redeeming qualities..(appearance) Humans and 1/2 elves are the leaders in appearance...How Boring... :(

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

Look! Up in the sky! Its a bird! Its a plane! Its the entire Vah Shir world blown into tiny little bits....poor kitties. Does look cool at night though.
