Community conversation
An ongoing MMO-Champion forum thread shows a split reaction around adding a neutral race to Forever. Some posters consider the decision settled; others argue it doesn’t fit their vision of the project. As with most big reveals, expect opinion to keep evolving as official details solidify.
