If SOE was to bring out a new race in the 1st expansion what would you guys want?

I would have to say a werewolf type character. Something to make Kerra kind of scared;)

I'm quite happy with the races as they are. (Go Kerra! Wooo!)
But if they were to add more races, I'd say more animal type races. A wolf type one would be nifty, but it'd probably just be gnolls.
They've got cats, rats, lizards and frogs.

I dunno, I just like to play something thats more out of the ordinary than just elves, gnomes, halflings and dwarves. (=

Something alien that lands in the middle of the Commonlands and kicks the tar out of Lucan and his thugs, takes over FP and begins it's infestation of this waterlogged planet. First destination the helpless citizens of Qeynos. Our only hope, Unlock FROGLOCKS! Due to the alien races unexplained aversion to ye olde english, especially the words 'thee and thou,' they would only be temporarily playable until the froggies popped their wee wittle heads out of the mucky-muck.

A bug type could be interesting.. but not really much point to it is there?

There are no differnt towns for races.. there are hardly any noticable differnce in stats.. racial traits suck...

If all your going for is appearnce.. Add in armor dyes.. tatto's.. more weapons and armor of same lvl so you can dress in style.. without being gimp.

Hey if you are so unhappy with the races in EQ2 you could always switch over to WoW and have only 4 races to choose from (depending on if you want to be good or evil). The traits don't suck, and besides they are in place to customize your character which they do. Also, there is a noticeable difference in stats, just ask those who are trying to make a barbarian wizard or a ratonga guardian. The smaller (but still noticeable) differences exist between the elven races which makes sense that closely related races would have similar stats. And besides, as new as this game is SOE is bound to make improvements so hang in there.

Now to answer the question. I too would like FROGLOCKS UNLOCKED! I also think it would be pretty neat to have an undead race (vampire maybe) and I like the werewolf idea but since someone can already turn into a wolf (berserkers I think) I doubt that would happen. Maybe a bigfoot/yeti race could work. As for the starting towns, they could always add one. I really think they should add a class that gets bow skills like the ranger does, but for freeport. Either that or give assassins some bow skills.

Faery races would be nice, since there are so damn many of them wandering around.
Second choice would be elemental type pc's.
I would hate to see any type of Undead. Playing undead seems to bring out the worst (and geekiest)in people.

Elemental, they ran free in a few zones in EQ1.

I'm not sure about a "new" race. but I do know that there's a very good probabilty that sony plans to make "Orc" a playable race. It's already designed that way in the datastream, it's the only race set up like the playable races at the moment. Which leads me to beleive they are indeed planning either an event or expansion enabling them. Or maybe they just want GMs to be able to take their form for events, who knows. =)

gnolls or giants

New Races: Gnolls(freeportian) or Centaurs (likely neutral) or Aviaks (good).

Though some kinda humanoid bug would be kinda nifty i guess.. sinc ei am a fan of the old Darksun campeign world and they had Thri Kreen.

lol I make a valid statement about our current races and you feel the need to drag WoW into it.

I still say it be better for them to improve their current races then drag another one in. Armor dyes.. tatto's, some type of insigna you can have put on your armors...

Hair dye to change color any time you want.. maybe even a barber shop in town to change style.

A new race be nice.. for like 30min but changing way it works for all races be better.

This game is 2 months old and you're already asking about new races? SHEESH! Give us some time, 6 months or so before this kinda crap comes up.

hm think i would like goblins and orcs, pluss some new areas to hunt in. maybe skeletons, mummies and vampires would be cool to, but since it is soe that is making the game we,l be happy if they bother to unlock the froglogs.

I'd like to see Humanoid types with 3-4 arms or legs. Or Zerg like creatures.

It would also be cool to see your features change depending on the type of hatred you have or what critters you kill. Kill Gnolls, Hey my biceps are bigger! Kill rats, Hey my bums bigger!
