    I don't want warforgeds in Faerun. If they come from some 'forcibly' created portal hole, I will join anti-robo squad to force them back in.

    Though I hope human race makes it in. I usually only play them :p
    And tieflings too (as they are now pratically humans, having just a wee-bit hell cursed).

    The Warforged place is in Eberron not Faerun or am i mistaken ?

    I'll be happy to see all the playeble races from NWN II and its expansions,oh and some few additions like Goliath and Dragonborn

    Exactly. Thats why I said that if they open portal hole to eberron, I would be there to defend faerun from those woodmetal abominations. (getting adventurers from other planes is as easy as getting to epic level and traveling to other planes using signils)

    Oh man Truthseeker, LOL. That takes me back. I remember when I purchased my 1st ed. Fiend Folio, everything about it was exotic. The art, the monsters,...those Brits came up with some crazy stuff.

    Remember these guys? Osquip

    Ha! I didn't expect anybody to care. I'm a sucker for an audience, so here goes...

    I'd rather not see Eberron races (Warforged, Kalashtar, Shifters, Changelings), Dark Sun races (Mul, Thri-Kreen), and I'm not keen on seeing Vrylokas, Pixies, Minotaurs, or Hamadryads as common player races, though I could get behind them being rare NPCs. I'm also leery of seeing common monster races (gnolls, orcs, kobolds, etc.) unless the game has a really believable reason for them to be player characters (which it might). However, I'd be disappointed if those monster races weren't antagonists.

    I don't have anything against any of these races in particular, but I'm also a bit of a setting purist, so your mileage may vary with these races in your FR. I just feel like, to use an example, a goblin adventurer should be a rare exception to the norm instead of an option anybody in the MMO can take.

    'Course, if this weren't FR I wouldn't be nearly so picky.

    Thoughts?

    And these: Dragon Turtle

    And nobody better hurt my Forgies here!

    Plenty of people on the FR are tinkering with constructs which now sometimes gain sentience. Not in an Eberron forge level population, but in FR too.

    If you go after them, I swear I'll make a Bender 'Forged, and he'll say while routing you,

    I agree with you,i want only FR races in NWO,the Eberron races can remain on their plane.

    just going to make a list post to go with the one I put up for classes.

    Races we assume we're getting at launch -> Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Drow, Dwarf, Tiefling



    Races I'd like to see the most based on 4.0 -> Eladrin, Dragonborn, Halfling, Gnome, and Half-Orc


    I'll mostly be sad if my Eladrin buddies don't make it to the game.. but hoping that list makes it at some point.

    I would like to play an orc, troll or ogre. If not possible at launch, I hope they add them later.

    It would be wonderful to own some elvish <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> in PvP with my orc warrior or scout.

    Sad that things like full orcs, trolls and ogres will almost certainly never be playable races. Sorta miss playing those more monstrous races but it'd probably make you totally OP lol

    *looks suspiciously*

    What are you planning? You want orc/trolls to go in towns and settlements?
    NPC: I can't find my wife. Help me!
    PC Troll: Sure thing.
    Troll hits npc for 100 damage - instant kill
    Troll gobbles up the npc
    !Quest complete!
    !NPC is united with his wife!

    I mean seriously???

    Ok. I would like to have orcs, trolls, orcs, ogres and orcs as playable races. Orcs would be fine, too.

    I forgot to mention but orcs would make a wonderful playable race.

    And add some orcs, too.

    BAHAHAH gillrmn, that's exactly how it'd go.

    on my tabletop sessions it'd work entirely differently since the DM would give you disadvantages like... you're a troll and everybody wants to kill you lol but in a game like this that sort of option just isn't valid at all for the very reason you stated.

    :) lovely dialogue to read though

    If we take the races on the race page as what is in for launch, I would like to see the remaining races from the Player's Handbook added shortly after launch for free: Dragonborn, Eladrin (+2 INT elf variant), and Halfling.

    Six months after release I would like to see the following added as playable either for free or for purchase depending on model they choose:
    Gensai, Gnomes, Half-Orc, Orc

    After a years I'd love to see all of the above and the following:
    Devas, Githzerai, Gnolls, Goliaths, Minotaur, Shifters, Satyr

    You sir, made my day.b:pleased

    Playable races? Uhm... What else is needed if tieflings are in? Well, maybe half-orc for the flavour, although I never play as one. Although, goblins/kobolds would be cool. They're not to picky about who they work for, eh?
