    Re: Game Engine

    Well, my point was that they *are* "balanced". They have the same percentage chance to drop as any other costume.

    It doesn't use a "current" engine.

    It uses quite a bit of different middleware, so the answer depends on what specifically you are referring to, but the "3D Engine" is primarily the old Intrinsic...

    There are 7 costumes for each of the 9 biped races (minus a couple which were never finished to put into the game) and 6 for Dragons. So, you have around a 10%...
