I think I will probably go with the Race that isnt played as much as the rest now I come to think of it, so I am more unique

Ehh... so far, probably Sylvari. We know next to nothing about them, but the start is reasonable. Humans are pretty much a punching bag for GW2 and, I hesitate to admit, not terribly interesting to me. The Norn don't really click with me, although they might be interesting to play. Charr and Asura are up themselves, which rules them out.

Im goin for the look, though im sure I wont play with the Norn, they just bloody ugly, if they keep the graphic of GW1 (which I really hope they will) il prob. take the humans.

Human or Norn, can't really see a difference between the two, tho, except their size. I wanted to be Dwarf because Ogden is kick-ass, but no, Jalis had to go all sparta and made themselves extinct. Although I still hope I can be a Dwarf

^^ made me lol.
I dont think the dwarves are all extinct though, could be some of the gw2 story for them yet.

It would be cool if the last of the dwarves band together for the last hoorah of GW2. I think since technically the power of the "great dwarf" is spread through out the dwarves, then it would be even more concentrated if there were only say half a dozen left (or 7.. cough cough). It'd help get rid of dwarves permanently, and since Anet is into eyecandy- they could have a more respectable next-gen extinction like cinematic.

That'd be a sad day if the least played race was the Asura.

Issac · May 04, 2008, 07:34 PM // 19:34

Charr all the way

Asuran - that is, as long as they don't give different abilities to different races or limit classes

It would be a 100% male race, I've never seen a female dwarf before... or dwarfin... or dwarfette. >.>

AFAIK, I think they already said they'd do that.

As for races...Sylvari, Norn, or Dwarf (If they put them in)

Jam Jar · May 04, 2008, 08:00 PM // 20:00

Asura! Executioner's Strike to the groin!

smilingscar · May 04, 2008, 08:45 PM // 20:45

I want to make an Asuran warrior or sin (something melee) and name him Yoda.

I will be really sad, however, if there's a significant racial penalty to playing an Asuran warrior or, say, a Norn mesmer. I think the only reason I'd play anything other than human would be to make amusing combinations.

Nuclfus · May 05, 2008, 03:27 AM // 03:27

Either Charr or Human, they're the only two playable races that really tie GW2 back to the first Guild Wars. The others are interesting enough, but seem a bit contrived when their sudden appearance in GW:EN puts them in the spotlight over already existing races like Dwarves, Tengu, and Centaurs, all of which were there from the beginning and had the right dynamic already (intelligent, societal, etc) to serve as playable races for GW2.

Adja1005 · May 05, 2008, 03:44 AM // 03:44

Assuming Anet dont screw the races by making them class specific, IE Asura only being able to become casters/backline classes. Then i hope to be a Asuran ranger or paragon (assuming either class is in GW2), the thought of beating the crap out of a Norn warrior makes me chuckle at the irony.

Inniss · May 05, 2008, 05:23 AM // 05:23

Asura, so I can get away with calling the human players bookah. :P

Moral55 · May 05, 2008, 06:01 AM // 06:01

Human most identifiable for me.

Stranger The Ranger · May 05, 2008, 08:09 AM // 08:09

Human

I never really cared about races, I'd play WoW if I would >.>
