In a recent thread about Mystic Wood Elves, Fearless Leader commented that if now would be the time to change the name of the race, if people were inclined. So, I am looking to see what interest there is in such a change here amongst our community. Also, I am looking to see what names people would like to suggest for the change. I know I am new on this forum, but hopefully no one will feel like their toes have been stepped on.
The reasoning behind the desire to change is simple, Mystic Wood Elf is a misnomer. We aren't elves, first of all, and while that little mix up can sometimes provide for interesting RP, it gets old after, oh...the third time. It's even a more boring arguement out of game, too. Secondly, there are very few players who still have characters from the original Mystic Woods that the name comes from.
So, I am opening this up to suggestions from our community for names to consider. I'll start the list with my own offering (Woodfolk) and add update the "official list" as names come up. You may propose them in this thread or through private messages to me, which ever suits your fancy. The suggestion box is open from today until April 17th.
My suggestion, as mentioned in parenthesis above, is Woodfolk. This reflects the nature aspects of the race, as well as the fact that most of us come from vales deep in the woods. Most importantly, it drops the elf part of the name.
I look forward to everyone's input and involvement. Thank you.
