LUO YAN looked at the race column - Moon Elf and besides it in an enclose parenthesis was the word 'Special'. From what he read so far, after transitioning to VR, the races in Arcadia were divided into three classes; common, rare, and legendary. 'Common' referred to the four basic races - humans, elves, beastkins, and gnomes. So the other races available via random selection were divided into 'Rare' and 'Legendary'. Races which were the hardest to obtain belonged to the 'Legendary' category. They also have smaller number compared to the 'Rare' ones.
So what's with this 'Special' category? Was this related to the new update? If that was the case then that would only mean that this Moon Elf race was a new race added to the game. Was his luck so good? He just returned to the game and a new mysterious race was immediately given to him.
