Well, I know this most definately has been suggested before, I just want to bring it back up because they're going to be realising the Second Chapter of Guild Wars in the first half of 2006 ((See Guild Wars homepage for Gamespot interview regarding second chapter)).

So...yeah, I know this has been covered...PROBABLY a LOT more than I think, but more races would be great for better customization. Let's see I think Charr would be an awesome Race...better PvP competition and even the Elder race ((the snake thingys)) wouldn't be too bad I think. Elves, oh my gosh...how about dwarves? LOL We DO see a lot of those guys too.

I just thought of something off topic...it has been covered but I'd REALLY like to see this implemented into the game. A Daytime/Nighttime setting. And weather patterns...so that you can look up and see stars or the moon or it could rain in pre-searing...instead of being daytime ALL THE TIME. :P I know weather changes in different regions...but you know I think it'd be really cool. Maybe even certain monsters could only come out at night time. Great idea methinks.

I know these have been covered, so please don't flame me. T_T LOL. But still, let me know if you think the ideas are good or if you've got other related suggestions.

I'll look this up later...gotta get to work.

I do not mean this as a flame, so if it sounds like one, please forgive me. Races will never be implemented into Guild Wars because the idea is that a human saves the world (SPOILER)

defeats the Mursaat, and fulfils the Flameseeker Prophecies.

(END SPOILER)
Also, if you know these ideas have been suggested before, why not pledge your support to one of those threads rather than creating a new one to reiterate old ideas.

Actually, past Fansite Fridays have said they're considering the addition of them, though the most recent word on Chapter 2 doesn't mention them. I'd have to say I doubt that they'll be added, but you never really know.

Aside from that, I agree as well. Bumping an existing thread by adding your own opinion/ideas/view is generally better than making a new one. You have all of the foundation and effort of everyone before you, rather than trying to begin anew.

...Good point...I shall find these other threads ^.^;;; Again, I apologize.

drakken06 · Sep 29, 2005, 10:03 PM // 22:03

Sorry couldn't find the other threads. ^_^;;; But I got another idea. I want my ranger to be able to charm that rabbit atop the waterfall in Ashford in Pre-Searing. I want a rabbit that can kick the crap out of any mob we come across...or at least give the mob a challenge. Still, a LOT more variety of pets to tame including that rabbit would be nice.

You can edit posts

Isaacp · Sep 30, 2005, 01:34 AM // 01:34

I think that adding charr, dwarfs etc. is a good idea. Even tho it would be ALOT of work for A-Nets side, they could develop a different storyline, like when you are saving Rin from all the Charr, The non-npc charr could go into a PvP battle automatically with the human side. that is my oppinion

Rhunex · Sep 30, 2005, 01:45 AM // 01:45

It's already been released by ANet devs about a month to a month and a half ago that more races, professions, skills(of course) are going to be released in Chapter 2. Not meaning to flame the OP, but suggesting races NOW is pointless. Because they have 6-10 months until the release of Chapter 2, which is also known to be larger than Chapter 1. Sooooo, they already have their races planned out(maybe professions, skills, etc). And because you know this has been "suggested" before why bring it up again? Just bump one of the other lame posts that died like they need to.

A NERD1989 · Sep 30, 2005, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Um Races? i thought they said there where gonna bring in more profesions like warlock,rogue ect i never knew they would bring new races. and if you could play the charr what would it be like? you kill some NPC travelers then once your a high level you join a group with like 50 other Charr humans and seige the wall and if you suceed no one(Humans) can go to ascalon?. i dont really think it would work i mean it doesnt really work in WoW coz in WoW you see 20 undead in a city and now on there but the city still belongs to the Allianxe that pretty dumb if you ask me the city should convert to the other race but that would be hard to pull of coz if Ascalon City was taken over all the low levels would have to go to yaks bend or somthings and they would all die. what do you think about this?<^<^<^<^

This post is just amusing.
I don't know what else to say.

One and Two · Sep 30, 2005, 05:47 AM // 05:47

It would be cool...maybe a traitor charr or something just to make it easy on the story.

cyberzomby · Sep 30, 2005, 01:59 PM // 13:59

Why do a lot of people think about a war between the races
Have you never tought about maybe they would just release a dwarven race.
Not the deldrimor but the good dwarves
This way you would have 2 races to play with, and not to beet the crap out of the other race. And you still get a human that saves the world, because all the new races cant go to the old bits of gw. ( at least thats what I think there gonna do )
Because like you all said it would look like WOW a lot. ( or another mmorpg in that matter )

Charcoal Ann · Sep 30, 2005, 02:08 PM // 14:08

the Deldrimor Dwarves ARE the good ones. The stone summit are baddies. i do think that if any race will be added it will be dwarves or some totaly seperate race. maybe they just mean a seperate civilization of humans with a different class set? like Canthan Humans?

i really hope that elves will not happen. really.

Kampfkeks · Sep 30, 2005, 02:09 PM // 14:09

I just SOOOOO fricking hope they will NEVER include Elves. I simply and basically hate those. Come one, please don't put in that race of wannabe gods with basically only advantages and build in arrogance too.
Does no one but me get pissed off about those treeloving elves... peaceful and in harmony. Of course most beautiful than any human could ever become. More profficient in magic of course. But well, if you push them they are of course just as profficient with the sword because of their dexterity and, not to mention... every elf would just outpower every ranger with their bow.
GOD, please... NO ELVES.
Or mark them PK'able on Sight. Than i could live with it.

Jigs · Sep 30, 2005, 05:15 PM // 17:15

awww! what is a a fantasy world w/out elves? Elves could have different professions too. they could be elementalist, ranger or whatever. more races will give the game more views of the Guild Wars world. Elves a=re not only tree loving, there are several types of elves too. dark elves, moon elves, sea elves and many more. We could encounter anf fight dark elves in underground or at the catacombs(hope they will open catacombs again).

If not more races playable at least add some more monsters. i am tired of trolls, dwarves, devourers, minotaur. I was happy to see and fight dredges and that Flame Djinn.

^J^ · Sep 30, 2005, 06:06 PM // 18:06

Hopefully they don't add any more races in. The fact that every PC is a human is one of the best aspects of GW.

Yea but it is not a good thing for Guild Wars to do becuause at first you have to choose a race ( I think you mean that) and than you have to choose 2 proffesions or 1 whatever. Because i can't see races and proffesions working together. It isn't bad at all -> getting close to a race such as the druid (it has been proposed here http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=65139) but with the races as the charrs etc. i think the game will get totally different Look -->

The whole story would have bene rewrited.. Just think -> charr vs charrs. So one thing shouldn't be there. You or the NPC Charrs. When you would think about it well you'd come to the conclusion that it is impossible to implent the features you mentioned in your post. It would be possible in much games which are almost the same as GW. But i wouldn't work for GW.

New races would bring the game to a whole unbalance.... Some races would be more apt at some prof than others .... Say they implement the mursat.... They would be more fit to make a mage than say the humans... That would bring the humans mage to the ground ... Who would want a human mage when they can get a mursat... They should try and get a balance on this kinda of things which btw its nearly impossible........ In any case they should dop like two races which are put against each other and you may chose which of them to play.... The pvp would be more interesting and you would have two sets of campaings to play....

If you know this have been brought up before than why not just add to one of the other 100's of new race idea posts?

Also, please refrain from making titles likes this "Races!!! Omg!!!11! Lol ^_^"
