I was actually considering posting a thread on the same subject a while back, but I guess I might as well express everything here. I do realize that one of the main goals of the IBIS WCS server is to go back to it's previous state before the crash and restore all the lost content, but I would like to express a few doubts about vagalion. We already have plenty of people complaining all the time (most of them are unfounded, but some do have a point) about the current state, but I can only imagine what a good player will be able to do with Evangelion (I.E. force half of the server to rage quit). While I am all hands for new races, I actually think that there's really no need to reintroduce evangelion back in to the server.

Even assuming there will be item restrictions (no helm, etc.) and it has a level restriction of max level, a race that has long jump same as Jack's, spawns with a P90 and deagle (thus has money to spend on items), has a paralyze skill with a knife that shoots laser, can insta one-hit person, has same evasion as molecule or spiderman and has an ulti that can throw a number of spears which do a huge amount of damage, has a 20 sec cooldown and can easily rape the other team alone.... Is a bit of an overkill. Also, I'm not quite sure, but I've heard from a few people that zero also had plans to improve evangelion's skills - which would make it even more powerful.

From a few recent developments, assuming I understand correctly, we are trying to make the server a bit more new user friendly and a race such Evangelion even with all the current changes would probably make the matters worse. In fact, it is quite likely that even a lot of regulars will consistently quit the server which could possibly leave the server with much less people daily which could eventually lead to the server being pretty much empty. I do realize that some of these matters are hypothetical, but I actually do believe that introducing such a powerful race should be considered really careful as it has a huge potential to almost completely destroy the balance in our server, so I would suggest at least considering of not releasing this race.
