Drow should be treated more like PrCs in my opinion. What ever happened to making Drow RP101 necessary? I liked that idea to avoid the drizzt clones wandering around.
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

This is a waste of time. It smacks ignorance and lack of respect for those working hard on the Underdark Server and a percentage of player base who enjoy this race.

To remove them would require a lot of time and effort in the APM and a lot of scripting and work for the Infastructure people.

Pffft. If this was actually a serious thread and the idea of removing drow from ALFA was actually being considered, it would take prolly a few minutes to remove the section in the APM, and even less to remove them from the ACR (remove 'Drow' as a recognised subrace and tada, no more drow, or at least, no more drow specific ability bonuses/negatives)

Of course, we can swap later, just to support the stereotype :P :lol:

What Drizzt clones? We have not had a real Drizzt clone in ALFA since Lukis got banned.

Anyway, Drow RP 101 will be handled, sort of, through in-character means. The first campaign in North Underdark will be as a part of the Academy and we will teach, in character, all sorts of good drowness.

For those wondering when NU will actually go Live, I will note once again we are in the middle of the review process with AlmightyTDawg and Spidey combing through our NPCs, creatures and such with their fine toothed comb. They have already gone through our merchants, so we are just waiting on this latest round of review. Then we make the suggested changes, and go Live.

To not allow pcs to play the drow is defeating the purpose of 3.0 and 3.5
The new rules and system was made to open up the races and classes to allow more depth.
