42712, Frost Giants.

The night they came into the game we all tried to get one, with no luck the five spots where taken with in seconds. Why is it that I only ever see one on in the past few days, or even none. If you have one please play it or delete and let players that have the time and interest to play this awesome race, thanks.
42714, I'm not deleting either of my frost giants. nt

Deleting a slot doesn't guarantee it will be freed up for somebody else to roll like Minotaurs.

Scar said on the announcement board thread that they would be turned off by default, and slots would only become available when the imms flip the switch during special times. On the bright side, there's hope that other such races will appear throughout the year in a similar manner.

Oh, I don't think I was clear about this: right now they're turned on until the season passes (whenever that is). So there are a fixed number of slots available no matter how that plays out. The current frosties could play until the end of the season. If one deletes before the season closes, the slot becomes open.

Thanks for clearing that up. I look forward to seeing some of the other seasonal races in the works.

I know it's impractical since we don't track who players really are, but it would be nifty if some of these race slots could go as rewards to people when they age/con die a significant character. It would help motivate them to keep coming back rather than to burn out and take a break for awhile.

Something like a 1-time, limited duration activation code which could be used in character creation.

I have considered this. I might even do something with round two...

Just awesome this is why I love CF, I have WoW, Rift, Star wars, Skyrim and none of them can come close to the replay value of cf!
