I think the non RP, more mechanical reason for this is the most useful aspect. Stop newbies from rolling an Igasho Mage or a Mugwump Ebonguard, because they have no idea how awful their uninformed decision is about to be, and you save them wasting their one time free reincarnate.
I disagree, because the idea of Lusternia is the freedom to be who you want. Making it to where you can't be a Lobo Mage or a Taurian Nihilist would defeat the purpose of picking your race, especially if you only allow a few races.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Considering more than a couple notable figures in Mag based their entire RP around tainted furrikin I dunno why they would. Mostly N'kylbar I believe though.
That was my argument too. Feyrll, Rattusk, and others have been monumental influences in the city. But every so often, some idiot decides that furrikin are just snugglers and need to be banned.

It wouldn't be allowing only a few, it'd just be stopping the really really poor choices for those who don't understand mechanics.
Anyway there's requests for a fourth category of "mechanically terrible, this race does not support your class's abilities" which would fix the problem. That said as Estarra said, it doesn't prevent anyone being that race/class, just stops newbies picking it off the bat.
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
Oh, I agree with that part. I'd love to be able to flag some races as "You can pick this, but you probably won't enjoy it.", so long as the novice can still choose it as they wish.

Asking a simple question on the Alliance clan prompted more talk than I ever intended. I think this is the most fun I've had trying to foretell what might happen in an event in years.
Completely unexpected but delightful conversation with @Barrin. Best ego battle I ever lost...
"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."
An impossibly powerful voice reverberates deep within your mind, filling your vision with a raging inferno, "THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE."

Gawrsh. I was totally not in the right frame of mind to handle this well, but all the same...raves for the ones known and unknown that put up with my sleepy rambling and include us in fun
Crumkane, Lord of Epicurean Delights says, "WAS IT INDEED ON FIRE, ERITHEYL."

With a deep reverb, Contemptible Sutekh says, "CEASE YOUR INFERNAL ENERGY, ERITHEYL."
People say they follow the coolest God in the game.
Unless you're in the same Order as I am, I'm inclined to call you a dirty liar.
You're not in Morgfyre's DisOrder though. Does not compute!
I'm pretty sure you mispelled "Isune's Order".

Can't we all agree that @Iosai's Order is the best? Although excluding that, @Nocht clearly wins. I forgot her name, but the inverted shadow ephemeral just totally blew my mind.
Also rave for RP with @Iorwen and her daughter who's name I also forgot. There was tea, both ingame and IRL. How's that for immersion, mhm?
You have received a new honour! Congratulations! On this day, you have shown your willingness to ensure a bug-free Lusternia for everyone to enjoy.

Raves for the same. And also raves for such a nice welcome back. Btw, I also had tea IRL...though I probably should stop drinking so much black tea in the evening. Maybe I should change to Roiboos
Haha, totally sorry for forgetting your name @Aerdiya. I stick to herbal teas in the evening, black tea is reserved to boost me through the morning on work days. Rooibos is nice indeed. I had a wellness mix with aloe vera, beets and citrus fruits. Good stuff that, and fixes you up for vitamin C quite nicely too.

Thanks, herbal teas are a good idea. Especially, if they give vitamin C. It's getting colder and I already was ill this year (well, due to my own stupidity...walked home from swimming with wet hair...). Sometimes I put a dash of sea buckthorn in my milk but I often forget that.
Once, I did something really stupid since I wanted to cut back my coffee ratio...I drank two cups of black tea and two of mate which left me super hyper (and my flatmates super annoyed).
Rave to @Mysrai for prodding me into a bit of silly rp. It made my day.

Rave for a fun conversation with @Lavinya that only started because I went on a raid for once
Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."
And also raves for making my maid bloodthirsty -
A simple house maid says, "Shall I order the staff purged for disturbing your peace of mind, Mistress?"
