As the title said, what race you want to see in/after launch of the game?
in DnD there are plentyful races to choise but we dont know what races will be "playable" in this game
the Devs made many races in STO but is because its was a direct Copypasta from humans model as base and add few things in it to create the races we know and now are playing(if there is STO players in this forum)
i created this thread to made know what race want the people of this forum to create and play in game and maybe someday when the devs read this thread (unlikely) maybe they will add it.... maybe...
I start, I really want to play as Genasi, elementals people FTW!

They have listed the races they are including thus far.
However, with Cryptic's Customization any humanoid race could be possible, as long as it didn't upset balance of power.

Yes, but I'm not including the already announced,*I am talking about more and beyond.
also the customization in the alien and others races of sto do not suprised me

... the classes are far from finished... the cleric and ranger is still pending and maybe they are still planning more classes, bosses and maps, they already are focuses in the foundry and the cleric (to "get" it right), so the launch is maybe in 2014, so everything is possible withing that range of time
And halflings will be in the launch-able races; glad I remembered to post it in my FAQ:
And for the record, looking forward to the addition of Eladrin.
Actually, that brings up a question:
I see "Eladrin" everywhere and sometimes they are interchanged with Elf. What are the differences and similarities?
When did this term start?

Technically 2nd edition.
However, the racial divide as a PC selectable race started in 4th edition.
So Eladrin is the more academic or etherial-basd fey while the elf is the more prime material or primal based fey. Eladrins are more prone to be wizards (arcanist) while elves are more prone to be rangers, but the favored class left with third edition.
Eladrin get a racial bonus in int and either dex or chrasma and are trained in an extra skill (plus a bonus in Arcana and History) are proficient in longswords and can do an encounter short teleport called a Fey Step. Sub-races may vary slightly on this.
Elves get a racial bonus in dex and either Wisdom or Intelligence. They get personal bonuses in Nature and Perception, grant +1 bonuses to group Perception abilities, are proficient in the Longbow and Shortbow and can re-roll one missed attack an encounter called Elven Accuracy. Sub-races may vary slightly on this.
all right is okay, I'm okay with this but I'm deeply disappointed...
[nothing personal but I have a great hatred of gnomes and hobbits, hearing this just... turn me off the hyper, greatly, i mean, Come on!]
Or the emparah will invade!
(and some others which humans can hunt - sparkly eladrin, stubby dwarves, wieldable halflings (possibly those who can be weld as single handed weapons in both hands), annoying gnomes and emo drows ofcourse!!!)
Eladrin are fey mages while elf are primal archers. Of course not always but a general way to differentiate.
And the ears of the elves seem too long. I have always pictured their ears as that of the half-elf.
I'll throw my vote for Dragonborn too.
As far as I'm concerned, "eladrin" is just a fancy term for moon elf and sun elf, so that's what I'd like to see.
Technically, incorrect. Moon Elf and Sun Elf are now sub races of the Eladrin in 4E. As a matter of fact, from the Neverwinter Sourc Book if I remember correctly.
Eladrin are actually very fey and not elvish in 4e. For example, satyrs are a common theme wherever Eladrin are concerned. (Elf looks for potion to wake up a maiden from a comma, while eladrin tries to kiss the maiden).
Another thing concerning eladrin is their own vampire brethren who have formed a secret society. These vampires kidnap beautiful eladrin guys and girls and make them to vampires to preserve their beauty "forever". (The reason satyrs are better bards than eladrin - most high CHA eladrin end up becoming twilight vampire to 'preserve' beauty)
And satyrs and druids are very closely tied to eladrin, even when eladrin are more arcanish than primalish. Feywild is too deep a lore and even I haven't been able to delve in fey lands with confidence.
So no, eladrin cannot be considered what moon and sun elves were. But moon elves and sun elves can probably be substituted by eladrin - still they will be very different in outlook, the way they think and their origin.
Human Man: nothing.
Human woman: eeekkk
Dwarven Man: Take it to have a snack with beer ya!
Dwarven Woman: Protect my beard lest it jump on it ye!
Halfling: Use it as a transport?
Elf: Kill it and use its poisonous. Wait, its poisonous right?
Shadar-kai: Kill it lest it give away our position.
Eladrin Woman: KISS IT!!!
Eladrin Man: Throw garbage on him. He is a competitor!
Drow: Lolth likes to eat frogs... I will poison it.
Dragonborn: I like frog stew! *coughs* Oh well! Roasted frog is ok too.
====~~~~
Necromancer: I will put the curse on Eladrin using standard action...
DM: No don't do that!
Eladrn: Yay!!!
Necromancer: confused, Why what happened? Did it not work?
DM: Thats a problem. It worked and now I have to put this campaign on hold and make a seperate mission dedicated to a "fairy tale" removal of curse using stupid apple and witch story....
I don;t know whether to hate you more for the vampire eladrin spoilers or for the twilight references. I'd better sleep on it!
Oh, wait...
Personally I would also like to see some monstrous races such as orc, kobold, or goblin. One of my fav table top PC's was a Wemic. Now that would be bad <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>.
speaking of them, I need a lore clarification. It's been a while but I swear it said somewhere that on rare occasion some Dragonborn grow small wing sor even tails, am I wrong?
link and zelda.
Although I did finish NWN2 as a Gnome Warlock (Vitriolic Eldritch Chain ftw), I've got to say that overall the race has always felt somewhat redundant to me. One default race of short people with an inherent sense of mischief always seemed to be enough for me, and halflings always seemed to do the job better.

I want them too. You can as quoted from Dragonborn PH "sprout great draconic wings" if you choose the Platinum Templar as a paragon path.
Or Storm Dragon Paragon "By the time you reach the end of the path, wings sprout from your back, and you fight with all the savagery of the storm dragon."
or the Epic Destiny Servant of IO "When you complete your final quest, you have either reunited enough of Io's scattered power or amassed enough power ofyour own to restore 10 to life. In a dazzling transformation, your body unfolds and expands, like a butterfly emerging from its cramped chrysalis. Enormous wings spread from your back, thick scales cover your hide, and your thundering roar shakes the earth. You have become 10among the mightiest of gods."
SO yah you can get wings
no tail though unless you become Io
funny his name is Io just like the lady turned into a cow by Hera in Greek mythology.

You left out the only dragonborn that actually flies using dragon power - scion of arkhosia. (the one in the link I provided without zelda).
It would be cool to have dragonborns and hobgoblins, genasis (although They look the same as human) I mean, something very unique and exotic and in the same time, common as Playable character.
just look in the tielfling! physically they look demonic, is like playing a demon in a MMO something that is very unlikely in others, but by lore, they are humans that changed by a pact that now is expired, now they can be anything they want (or what the player want)
You know Dragonborn is a native race in 4.0? don't ask me to quote the lore though cause I can't

So while there are many Eladrin Sun and Moon Elves now, native Torilian Sun and Moon Elves that have never been to the Feywilds are also still existent.
I hope NWO allows us to make such a choice also.
On an unrelated note and back to the main topic, I would love to play a Beholder. As that will most likely never happen... I would then love to play a Half-Dragon/Half-Elf.

The simple explanation is:
Elves in previous editions had a culture that was cluttered and pulling in multiple directions at once.
So they decided to split them into two races. Eladrin are your "arcane elves', and Elves are your "nature elves".
To put it in terms of common archetypes from the race in previous editions.
Need an elven archmage or a refined graceful rapier-wielding duelist? That's Eladrin.
Need an elven ranger, druid, or savage? That's Elves.
Sun Elves, Moon Elves = Eladrin
Wood Elves, Wild Elves = Elf.
Nuff said.
