Guild Wars Diversity - Discussion of new Races in the GW Universe
This has been mentioned before, but not in the sanitarium! We would like to see atleast one more race added - dwarves! Not only do they play a key role in the game already, but they are the coolest race next to humans anyways.

I'd like to see a variety of races you choose from, even if they don't do anything specific and only affect your appearance. I believe you can only have humans, right? Isn't that going to severly limit the appearances, and will soon get way too many people looking similar? From the screenshots I saw, mostly everyone looked the same apart from the armour (and the fact about the naked dance party didn't help)

If they add any races I hope it's a race that appears in the first chapter of GW or is completely original. I never want to see gnomes, elves, halflings or anything else that blatantly rips off movies, books ort other games. Dwarves are alright since they are already in, but I'd prefer a brand new race never seen before.

Yes....I'd like to see Night Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Trolls, Orcs, Tauren and Undeads ~_~ Guess why GW only got humen? Coz it makes it unique and not like all those other games...I don't mind....I'm happy with humen...

I'm sure he was being sarcastic, and yes adding dwarves would be ok, but that would be the only other race I would like to see. If you add races like night elves, elves, hobbits...it gets retarded like every other mmo I have seen. Name one game that doesnt have these races and is a popular mmo

I would love to have an imp-like race in the game. The game currently has imps, gargoyles and mergoyles for NPCs. Maybe there is more to them than we know. I get tired of always looking like a human (humans, dwarves, gnomes, elves, etc) but also I'm not really into animal-like races (gnolls, minotaurs, etc). Though I would be more than content if they just kept stuck with the human race and added a lot more customizations to the look.

now if they add dwarves then they about have to add elves. dwarves without elves is like ying without yang.

Unless Elves show up later in the game, I'm pretty sure we already have it where there are only Dwarves and no Elves. So it can't be throwing off any ying and yang here, since it's currently being done, except it's only at the NPC level.
I see no problem with adding Dwarves, and the same goes for Undeads. But anything beyond that, and you're starting to hit a gray area and making Guild Wars just like every other MMORPG out there...

Maybe Charr, but at a much later date. I'm talking chapters away here guys. You know, if for some reason, they have to team up to defeat a greater evil or something. I mean, Charr have been just about every profession from what I've seen. I could see it happening.

Agreed on the extended length of time before the Charr could be made a possible playable character.
But since you brought it up, that would be quite the delicious plot twist if both Humans and Charr had to fight hand-in-hand to defeat "a greater evil." If something like that came up, I would find that very entertaining...
Kind of like when what was left of the Imperial forces and the Rebellion/New Republic forces teamed up to defeat the Ssi-ruuk invaders in Star Wars: The Truce at Bakura by Kathy Tyers.

It was the best comparison that came to mind, and it worked too, so that's just what I put down.
The book's a good book though, and I was, and still am, a big fan of Star Wars.

Asheron's Call 2 Had Humans, Lugians, And Tumeroks. They never copied any other race.
(I think in a later expansion you should be able to transform yourself into an undead (I.E. A quest.. I think a good name for it would be "The Heartripper's Promise"). So the Undead and the Humans could War, and have special outcomes on the game depending on which side does better. Of course this would incorporate a lot of storyline, so it couldn't happen for awhile.)
