    We already have Elves as a race. Drow,Moon,and Sun Elves are not new races,they are simply varieties of the elven race we already have.Drow are lame and overdone.

    Let's see some real new races...Lizardfolk,Gnolls,Centaurs,kobolds,etc. I'd love to play a Minotaur.

    As I understand the Drow will be free. Founders have the Drow Renegade selection which is the "full" Drow race with the benefits.

    Given how badly Tiefling horns and Half-Orc canines clip with existing headwear, I can't imagine the devs adding full demihumans, which vastly different body shapes, as playable races. They'll stick to mostly humanoid characters.

    This exactly. It has been mentioned before that Dragonborn was toyed with in testing, but later dropped. I suspect the reasons for that is simply because the model might of proved far to problematic getting it to work with existing clothing/equipment meshes.

    You prolly have a very long wait for those races to be playable.

    I'd really like to play a Drow but I'm not going to pay for pack. Does anyone know when the Drow race will be available to play for free?

    60 days after launch is the earliest we could see them.

    Wished we were getting a Deceptive Warlock instead of a scourge, plus wizards have teleport, so are warlocks getting flying, invisibility, or teleport again? The Deceptive one I think would be great with the Drow as a debuffer w/ plague fire enchant *_*.

    I keep checking to see if the Drow racial has come available. Does anyone have a firm date on this?

    People keep telling me 60 days after game goes live but it's been 60 days (I think) and I still haven't seen Drow as playable race. I HAVE seen a Drow-type skin for Wood Elf in the Customization screen! Does anyone know what gives?

    From the FAQ

    Is there any update on a date for when vanilla drow will be available for all?

    The Drow race will remain exclusive to Hero of the North pack purchasers for at least 60 days after the game's launch on June 20 (so, August 20 or later)


    So near the end of the month. It hasn't been quite 60 days yet.
