Hi all,
is the drow race for all available or only for the founders? 200 dollars for a race is too much for me
or are they not yet available and come back later?
greetings!

I know in this day and age it is almost impossible to find information on the internet, so here, I found it for you.

Yep read that.
Was hoping someone would expand on that, as it is a little brief and lacking in detail.
Fairie fire is what? An attack spell? A glowing aura? A healing ability? is it useful, or just cosmetic like the tattoo?
And what tattoo's? A swallow on the hand? Mum in a love heart? or something a bit more interesting. Some images would be nice.
They are wanting money for this. So I'd like to know what it is I would be buying if I got it.
Some people like to actually research already established lore so their characters actually fit in the setting they are made in.
As in Exclusive meaning first.
Later, the vanilla drow race (oh that just looked weird vanilla drow...with sprinkles...) will be able to be played by all players, but I can't say when that is, as that info has not been publicly released yet.
The powers are different but neither offer any advantage Pretty much darkfire gives a debuff to attack/damage for the enemy and the faerie fire gives a buff to attack/damage for the PC.
But in full disclosure, there is a chance the tattoo might make you look HAMSTER
Getting a buff that will affect incoming dmg to all your targets opposed to debuffing one target is a pretty distinct advantage between the two, imho. Especially for pvp.
Drizzt wins.
Every time they idiot-proof something...they make better idiots.

This says a costume

and then the email you sent says were getting a background story.
"Unique Menzoberranzan Renegade background - Unique racial ability and cosmetic options"
Go marketing!
You know someone at Cryptic Studios is talling up the Hero of the North buyers saying, "Wow, so many suckers."
Don't be so sure, The Borg race in STO is only available to lifetime subscription players.. Same could be with this, that only $200 founders will be able to play it, that's what exclusive usually means.
Ouch!!
Youngling, let me school you Drow became a playable race in 1985. I've played one since then as did many folks probably even Salvatore. They were the cool kids on the block, as they had been protaganist up until that point. My Drow also wielded dual scimitars(traditional desert make) 3yrs prior to Drizzt appearance in The Crystal Shard as he hailed from the Forest of Mir near Calimshan.
Basic point, not every Dark elf player is Drizzt clone give it a rest, but if someone did want to emulate that character more power to them, it's a game, we have fun, that is all.
Just like any day-sparkly-vampire story is now Twilight fanfic. Even though Dracula was walking around in broad daylight centuries before Twilight came out.
On my NWN PW, we had some inventive players. One went so far as to create a Drow elf named "Ano'ther Do'Urden". I would frequently laugh my butt off.
Weird, I thought they changed that when it went F2P.
I've never played STO but looking at their site it still says you get the Borg for buying the life time subscription.
Cryptic could aso change their minds and make humans a Store race. It could also happen in the realm of possibilities. The thing is, at this point in time, no current information validates it. Neither that drow will be payed race in Store or Hero of the North only race. Except for those apparently not fixed bad texts that only generate unnecesary confusion.
Link please?

Those are two of many that in resume come to say the same. Of course that Cryptic (or PW) could change their minds but so far the known information denies it. Unless the post of imtruthseeker in this thread means something different from what I actually translated in my brain.
That's great for those that really want to play Drow and not have to pay the $200 pricetag, really, really good. Still the unique background with the cool customizations is neat aswell, at least that gives the Hero of the North buyers something really unique, I do hope they don't lock that up for other players later on, which I doubt if we look at what they have done before in STO.
There is high chance that they can be free, there is a chance that they may be paid.
No the question was link. Still waiting on a official one.
