The Kilr-ipoff Invasion (May 9, 2001)

Bandit LOAF · May 9, 2001

Apparently sporting a heavy feline coat is all the rage this season -- the Kzin-rathi look is in-vogue! TC reports that both Wizardry 8 and the Shadows of Luclin addon for EverQuest will be featuring... well, Kilrathi...First up, Wizardry 8 -- with this blurb from PC Gamer...

"An opening cinematic sets up the action: you're hired to escort a diplomat (who looks a lot like of the Kilrathi from Wing Commander) onboard his "magic flying vessel" to his home planet. On the way, the ship is attacked, forcing a crash landing on the world of Dominus. Then the game begins..."

And then EverQuest...

The new moon will also be the host to one of the game's other big features: a brand new race to play, called the Kerran. Jokingly described by the team as a "mystical space cat," the Kerran are a large, strong feline-type race. [Jeff] Butler said they were still working on balancing, but that in terms of abilities, Kerrans will most closely resemble barbarians. If you play as Kerran, you will start in Luclin, though you can freely travel to Norrath, where you'll be accepted by non-evil races.

And then, the pictures: Wizardry on the right, Everquest on the left.
