    Elves, I'm just a little bias also. Dark elves would even be better if I had my choice.

    I said boats because I envision a waterway instance that leads to ports, for example if you put your boat in the water someplace you enter the waterway instance which is very exploreable.

    In this vast waterway instance you can:

    fish
    dive for pearls (or somethin;))
    hunt for treasure
    find exotic plants,rare fish or plants
    find mysteries
    find underwater caves
    enjoy the boat trip and the feel of the wind through your hair (no sea battles like archeage unless they make a pvp waterway) I hated to not get to enjoy the waterways and you absolutely could not in that game. so much not fun. I'll take their water tho it was gorgeous.;)

    So many possibilities I don't want to miss out on. This is just my thoughts for a waterway instance, but I love the idea. It could be a magical area for us and add so much to the game.

    I am supporting the stretch goals. It does not help at this point to not support them if we can. If everyone feels that way they won't get paid for.

    I have tried to appeal for a better way to get them funded but so far it is not happening as I'm sure the Devs are extremely busy. So majoria *chants* *please support the stretch goals* if you can.;)

    Dwarfs are filthy, ugly peasants and a terrible burden on our society.

    I'm not sure, I just want to see the original stretch goals done justice properly.

    If Underworld Ascendant is to have dark elves, perhaps they can wander here, as a playable race.

    I think boats would be the biggest game changer but pack animals, especially with the encumberance rules are the most needed.

    It's obvious the current system has failed. why not solidify it into one thing and let's all try for that together ?

    Boats seem like they could definitely be the biggest challenge to program into the game - for example, would you be able to realistically maneuver them, and what kind of sea-based instancing/encounters would there be (pirate battles anyone?)... Since I'm against piling more burdens on Portalarium's already overloaded back than necessary (almost seems like game may not launch on time with all its base features complete, let alone stretch goals), I should be nice and just opt for horses.

    EDIT: D'oh! Already voted "boats", must be sleepy... Disregard the above paragraph; I wanna sail around New Britannia three sheets to the wind, captain of my own shiny new galleon! Arrrr!

    I really want them all but I voted for flexible placement because I want to be more efficient on my small village lot gives a larger area for farming and other things by moving the house to the back corner of the lot.

    Of the existing stretch goals: flexible placement, pack animals, mounts, boats, elves in that order.

    Flexible placement to give us more control over property and variety. Pack animals because of encumbrance. Mounts to travel faster in hopefully larger scenes. Boats because pirates! Elves? I'm still struggling with that lore breaking issue, but remain open to how Richard solves this.

    I love the ideas and concepts of all the Stretch Goals, but I cast my vote for the Elves. I love the idea of race selection in almost any RPG, with with different race attributes, strengths/weaknesses and overall appearance.

    Thinking back a couple decades, I used to LOVE playing U6 and U7, and interacting with the Gargoyles, Emps, magical animals (especially Smith!) and other races like the imprisoned troll whose name escapes me. It added diversity, story depth in understanding the various cultures, and just more fun.

    Of course, as someone mentioned, there's the lore conflict issue with the elves, and probably with gargoyles. But in Pre-Alpha already, we are able to visit the Kobolds. Imagine having the choice to play a Kobold? It would make for very interesting RPG dynamics, with the potential for ongoing war, PvP town sieges, diplomacy, etc.

    Anyway, I'm rambling, sorry. Humbly Yours....

    I originally voted for mounts, but as I think about it more I would like flexible house placement more. So I just purchased a few flexible house placement add-ons. Unfortunately we're at 4.5% of achieving that goal. I can't see any of the stretch goals gaining a lot of traction until the general pledges close. When it comes between spending money on stretch goals or upgrading your pledge I think most choose their pledge.
