Hey Munchy, welcome to the community, always happy to see fellow veteran MMO players around here!
Minotaurs were replaced yes, but that doesn't mean they are scrapped, they might come back in the future if not as a playable race, as an important NPC race.
We never delete, we recycle ♻️💪
Haha, let's go GREEEEEN!
Thank you for the warm welcome and happy to be here. I look forward to this awesome adventure. :)
