    There was something mentioned about a race who hated the Tideborn. Figure that with the upcoming 10-man squad, there may be new races on the horizon again.

    And... it used to all say 'Unavailable'.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Well if you think about it, and actually look at the map the way it is atm, or look beyond a point where it says "coming soon", the map and landscape actually look incomplete as if in the future they are planning on adding more.

    Races in this game are based on elements. So we are missing one race. They already have the additonal trainer house in arch setup for them . Just gotta wait.

    Not sure where you get this idea. Other then Tideborn being water;

    Metal = I guess Winged Elves?
    Wood = I guess Untamed?
    Fire = ?
    Earth = ?

    Remember Human wizards use fire, earth & water, and BMs dont have any real affiliation. Other then the similarities of Elves & Untamed just due to elemental magic, i dont think anywhere in the game lore does it mention races being related to elements.

    Also, after just coming out with the "forgotten race" i think it'd be hard to say "oh yeah, another race was also forgotten too"

    Granted there are clues for a 5th race / 2 new jobs possibly being on the horizon, just not sure how they could handle it within the Lore.

    I think this is how it goes, at least its how I see it:

    Elves: Metal
    Humans: Fire
    Untamed: Earth/Wood?
    Tideborne: Water
    Next Race: Earth/Wood?

    Considering the above are the Chinese elements.

    Elves obviously have metal, clerics deal metal magic damage, as do archers.

    Humans, both BM and Wiz have a ton of fire spells. Granted, Wizards have multiple elemental spells, but fire swings heavy since BM's have fire-like skills.

    Untamed: Earth probably because of the earthy surroundings? Although this is a bit of a twister really, because venos and barbs both have wood skills.

    Tideborne: Obviously, they are the water race lol.

    And of course, if you look at Arch's trainer houses, 1 house is empty. Thats been pretty much figured out from the get-go.

    So the next question is where will they put the race? Some say obviously next to tideborne, where that huge black space is below tusk town and whatnot. Some say west of Lost City.

    I dont think it will be any time soon. They did a terrible job introducing the Tideborn race, and havent even fully implemented everything for them yet (coming soon, of course).

    I remember it saying "unavailable" as well.

    And what it means is that something else will be coming eventually, those are areas for expansion.

    Chinese Elementalism doesnt have a wind/air element. The 5 we see in the game are the eastern elements. Also unlike western elements, which are (in old magic or "science" or superstition) the fundamental building blocks of what makes up all matter, The Eastern elements are more a representation of transition phases of existence. So they dont have diametric opposition (where in western, air opposes earth & fire opposes water), but instead follow a loop of either generating [wood > fire > earth > metal > water > wood again] or overcoming [wood > earth > water > fire > metal > wood again] pathways.

    TL;DR There is no Air/Wind element in chinese philosophy.

    the classic chinesse elements are

    wood
    water
    fire
    metal
    earth

    untamed are wood (nature)

    winged elves are metal (heaven)

    humans are fire water and earth (man and the world)

    I pretty sure the unavailable area are connected with:
    -GM Testing area
    -"real" location of Instances (like TT, FF, FBs), when you enter an instances, this is where you are ported to.
    -Disabled map/location (housing)

    Attempt to access these areas will trigger system message "player [...] is cheating, report....".

    Contrary to popular belief...the TB map was only added since expansion, it wasn't there before. That's why I believe that the unavailable area have nothing to do with new races in future if there is.

    And I pretty sure Human race stand for fire element (BM's HF) but wiz have access to other elements, just like Tideborn supposed to be Water but also use earth element.
    In Perfect World, Air/Wind is listed as Metal Element, as well as Thunder/Electric.

    I more or less agree with what you posted and the new area will be in the south.

    No. Many of the instances have shared coordinates with the main map.

    "player XXX is cheating..." messages are from getting into the GM Lounge in TT or possibly wall hacking, not sure of the latter though.

    There is no message for someone accidentally finding themselves in unreleased areas on the main map. Many people tele/town-portal-glitched to the main teleporter in the starting TB city and got stuck there. No red messages from that happening.

    There are many GM NPCs around 2,115 coordinates, which, when you try to access, you get booted to center of the map, and the red message broadcasts on the server (the reason though many "tried" to end there was the NPC Maradona, except now he doesn't exist anymore, and the stuff used to sell for 0 coin).

    Also, there are several test-dummy copies of other instances on the map, not the actual instance maps themselves (there is a City of Abominations copy, Secret Passage copy, Housing Castle, and Nightscream Island copy; there is also an underwater area that "could" be Dragon Temple, though I can't confirm as I never entered it, and some kind of test island just south of Raging Tides). Reason why they "aren't" the instances themselves though is that the land beyond invisible wall is a "stuck" area, and normal characters can't move through it (unless helped of course). Oh and for the TB teleport "glitch", TB area was actually under "behind rubber band wall" area, not "behind stack wall" area...

    Fun fact: Island below the current Tideborn area already used to exist. In the Japanese servers, that's where banned players would be sent. You could log in but you would be on that island unable to move, teleport, or do anything. xD

    You mean they were exiled to an Island for bad behavior some societies were like and some are still like it.

    They should have made that island where everyone there was in pk mode. They could perform all actions, but could not leave the island under any circumstances. Also, guardian scrolls would be disabled and bound equipment would become unbound while on the island.
