It absolutley is childish. It brings a serious issue -racial discrimination , into a world it has no place in.

To start infringing upon the creative process of an author, or developer, with "skin tone" demands on fictional races, is LUDICROUS.

Stop. [filtered]. Complaining. About. [filtered]. Everything. Christ.

Theres not enough asian eyed characters to choose from either.

/sarcasm

Are you serious??

Seen lot's of people say MMO's always leave out "black person" skin tones, but SWTOR actually had at least one color I think that was pretty decently done. Even had some weird afro and rasta dread hair styles. So some do try, and really do you think they leave things out on purpose? I don't.

That being said didn't humans have a fairly dark skin tone to choose from? Does it really have to be every race?

Also, let's remember that this is made in Korea, a place where black people and black cutlure were probably never even thought of. BHS and EMS had a lot of work to do to translate and adjust, and being that it's an MMO, future changes are a part of life. I would not be surprised if over time we get more options and the ability to remake our character(via "haircuts" in WoW and such).

Are people seriously this dumb?

You can make black characters in WoW, Aion, FFXIV, etc. pretty much ANY MMO out there.

If Tera wants to have proper NA appeal, it should do the same, period.

"Oh look at me! I know everything about having 'appeal to NA'! I'm an expert! TERA has to do this or else it will be detrimental to the game!"
