Revised from what?

I'm sure some do.

Who personaly I don't feel are very well suited as PCs anyway. That's not to say I don't think they should be played by anyone ever, just that I don't think they're very high up on the list of playable characters.
Why should all sentient species in Glorantha be playable? After all they're _not_ human. Why should all their minds and values necesserily be compatible with human psychology?
I'm sorry your character got retconned, but if you're saying that creative freedom should be sacrificed in favour of a Disneyesque humanisation of all the species of Glorantha I have to protest.
