I think this was the case from the start. People always, especialy those that are the loudest, have "motives", "agendas". And its usualy "price". I believe mindcircus is referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model
And I would have to disagree. If the egg is supposed to be this big secret (and considering what it is I think that it certainly is "some grand secret") then of course Morning would lie about it. She would have absolutely no reason to tell a bunch of strangers about it.
42 to be exact! How do you know there are exactly 42 30 yr old boomers on this thread? ;) When you get to our well-weathered age you learn things. That's how. ;) 42 is young compared to me.... I must have forgotten the things I was supposed to learn.
I am not disagreeing that to most people the norn females are physically attractive and the men are not. I see it more like Robert Asprin's Myth series where the inhabitants of the dimension of Trollia are Trollops (the females) and Trolls (the males).And if you think there is some type of stereotype being perpetuated, does that mean that players of charr and asura necessarily find those characters to be sexy (maybe they do, maybe they don't) or do they just want to play something other than humans (and I don't consider norn to be nothing more than big humans)?
