Rhuarc is also a male Roegadyn! Big, manly, paladin tank, don't see why its not the most prominent race.
Most likely because they look ridiculous - their proportions are very off and typically the 'big' races tend to be designed to appeal to the sort of player that enjoys overcompensating. It was the same with orcs and tauren in WoW - very few people played them and yet many of those that did seemed to think that 'dey da best lol xD so much biger an strong den every1 else lol xDDDD'. Masculinity is also not linked directly to size, especially when excessive proportions are concerned.
I don't really think that's a fair assessment. I like Roegadyns because I'm a big dude, and I love being big. I want to play a character that's big like me. Is liking my body type overcompensation? I think for the most part, all the races have proportions that are "off". Even Hyurs, where I can play a man with ape arms or a woman made almost entirely of legs. Some people just see them all differently, I guess.
As for this Ron elf, what is all the fuss?Â
Role-players are rarely praised for having a character that revolves around the typical traits associated with their character's chosen race. You should make your character's sexuality the driving force behind your concept and wiki page so you can be seen in a similar light.
It's like the average blood elf rogue in WoW - flirting with every woman in sight. Elezen role-players are fairly rare in this game, yet those I've come across so far have all - regardless of gender - revolved heavily around flirting and/or sex.
