So instead of having to many good elves wondering the server... we have to many drow... granted Suicre and I have been planning such for awhile now. It kind of distills the value by having to many wondering around. This is part of what stopped me playing a drow before.. Its an uncomfortable invasion.

I assume you meant "dilute" rather than "distill".

With a relatively small player base like Thay has, it's very easy to get "too many" PCs of theme/race or another. When I started playing Garr I heard a number of comments both IC and OOC about how "there are so many gnolls on the server now". So? I created a character I wanted to play and I played it.

My feelings are:
1) Don't just count PCs in that calculation. Count the NPCs as well, and it will feel more "balanced"
2) Just because you created your PC first doesn't give you dibs on a certain race or theme. Other players can have different interpretations on that same race or theme.
3) Keep in mind that other players might not even be aware of the current mix of PC races and classes on the server if they are new, returning, or rarely play.
4) The server has rules in place to limit special races... if Thayan is unsatisfied with the mix, he can change the rules.
