Interesting to see that the 2 races NOONE wanted are the 2 that NOONE still is. I fondly remember people asking for Chiss and many other races. I hope this data serves as a reminder to the Developers to pay more attention to what people want as opposed to what the developers think is "cool".
Come on, Sullustans are cool, I should know, I've got one
(and Ithorians are ok too).Chiss would have been pretty pointless (much as I lve Thrawn) they're just blue-skinned, red-eyed, black-haired humans. Just think how much people would have moaned about lazy Devs and lack of customization options if Chiss had been made a playable race.
The two new races were always going to be less used than the others, for a start no old players could become one without totally re-rolling, then for new players - they're competing as two out of ten races (with humans still being the most popular race for new players to create), so the two are only ever going to be a percent of a percent. That just makes us more special
Maybe we should set aside a day some time in the next week or two as "Hug a Minority Day" to make all those 0%-ers feel special (we could arrange it to co-incide with one of the semi-regular "Slap a Rodian Day"s)!!

Chiss was the most requested selection along with Tuskens and Jawa. The point in creating a new race is to change the flavor in the game. this did zero for anyone as the stats show. The point of adding content to ANY game is for PLAYERS enjoyment, not for ONE PLAYERS enjoyment. Players did not enjoy the choices and declined to even use them sparingly.

Shouldn't this be _A_ffected by?
And where do we find the 2% that are neither Male nor Female?
everyone knows that wookies reproduce asexually by coughing up hairballs.

With the Empire finally recognizing Sullustans and Ithorians we have taken a new census to get a general population picture of the more prominent races. Click here to see how your race does!
Have a great weekend!
Normaly if i dont like something i wont post but after playing on TC ive been inspired to post, this Friday feature is very very lame.
I think their are a million and one things which need to be looked at in depth to help the players out especialy since alot of things in the game have been changed with this publish and not all in a good way, and with all this kicking off and changing i find it hard to believe anyone could careless about who is playing what species.
Ok but we have a stats Friday feature fine were stuck with it, what about all the other stats professions, combat level, badges earned, planet population, GWC status, and so on.
Not impressed one bit and as a full templated character like most people who have been here a long time i have to say double xp doesnt mean anything to me at all, even though the temptation to give up smuggler is overwhelming right now.
I like to normaly be positive then again after seeing how "diferent" the slicing system is as it was discribed i have little confidence that the smuggling missions wil be any better and after 2 years of waitinga lot of smugglers (1 year for me) what we get for a Friday feature is this.............................
i would realy like to see all these astromech stats,
#1 proffetions
#2kill stats
#3money graphs and economy thngys
#4most popular badges and quests
#5 planetry maps showing ware all the houses are on each server
these would be a great feature so plz do them

WHY DO ZABS STILL HAVE FACTION PENALTY????????????????
Because they're an inferior species who could only wish to be human.
I don't care how the rest of you feel, but I'll take any time for double XP. At least all of my toons can enjoy it, not 2
*side note. the only reason I don't play my sallustan is because any thing she wears, draws attention to her face. They need speices realted clothing too. If Ithorians got theirs, they need some too, espeacially HEAD gear, or vails.
