I'm not sure about racial attributes. Something like that, at least with Guild Wars, would of course have to be taken very delicately.

As far as the races themselves, I don't see any of the other present races being used, as they are almost all unrefined and just thrown in there.

The Dwarves? Guild Wars Dwarves are some of the ugliest, fattest-headed Dwarves I've ever seen. And normally I like Dwarves.

The only ones I see being a cool idea is the Tengu. They of course need work too, as they're just bird men that run like ninjas. I like the idea though of a bird themed race though. It could be cool, and it's original. I'll see what sketches I can come up with.

The Charr are just stupid and goofy looking (they don't stack up to tauren at all, the race they'd kind of fill in).

The undead aren't as bad, but not up to par to what they should be for an entirely new race.

I can't imagine them just putting in white mantle/shining blade options and calling them races, so it seems they'll have to do a good amount of work with what they've got.

A few points:
1.Yes,some of the mentioned races could be pretty cool(Dwarves,Elves),just on the possibilities of a different storyline type.
2.If you make the Charr,trolls,or Grall playable then it becomes a City of Heroes/City of Villian comparison.
3.It might be hard to keep everything balanced(If undead get hit by holy damage,Gnome gets crushed be Charr,etc.)
I wouldn't really mind as long as everything stays balanced.

Another thing about races..

what if they implement races and you've already got 4 characters which would be the standard human race I guess... what if a certain race I'll just take dwarfs for example would have a certain bonus in HP or armor or something well suited for let's say a warrior.
and you have a lvl 20 PvE warrior lots of skills good equip etc.. would you have to start it all over just to change it's race to gain the racial bonus, only because it wasn't an option before ?

City of Heroes/City of Villains comparison. Hell, sometimes I wanna play a bad guy too .

If there is Grawl, Charr, and the undead will be added, I think it would be cool. These evil creatures mission/quest is like raid a town, destroy a city, bring apocalypse to entire kingdoms. And there could be like a guild battle. Imagine... a human guild(dwarf or elves) against evil creatures guild( charr, grawl, undead). the battle would look so cool.

am i the only one who noticed that GW is actually single-player based, so being able to be your enemies would be completly stupid?
this isn't WoW, where horde and alliance get diffrent monsters to fight.

but...gnomes would completly own. as well as dwarves, and elves.
