What race will you mostlikely be? I know it can change after we learn more information.. but after seeing the Guild Wars 2 trailer and concept art, which race excites you the most?

For me, I will probably be Asura. I like their style and look.

Well, realistically I will have a character from each race. However, the first one I'll make will be Charr for sure.

I'll probably be playing a few races, but my first will probably be Norn. I dunno why, they just seemed pretty kool from EotN.

What I like about Guild Wars is you can make multiple characters with 2 professions which is great, I picked Sylvari and If I can be a Sylvari ranger I am gonna have lotsss of fun ;)

Going for Sylvari, I just love that close to nature thang :) .Asura would be a second choice just to contrast my nature based main :P

Need an "undecided" field. No idea what my main character will be.

I guess I will wait until I know their differences besides visual (if there are any), plus the lore for each race - leaders, culture, values, etc.

I don't know.

I just hope Aion, Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars II can be told apart. It seems these days that cutesy generic fantasy mmos is the name of day with an Asian slant.
 

I wish more dark and sinister and mature-looking mmos would come out... *sigh*

Sylvari as long as they arent the flavor of the day.

--

It's hard to pull of dark and sinister. It just looks like anything else with a different skin (check out requiem)

I mean when you have to kill 500000 mutant bloody zebras it amounts to the same scare/maturity/thrill as

killing 5000000 pikachus.

I never got Eye of the North is it part of the trilogy servers or an entirely different entity?

Eye of the North is just an expansion. The trilogy are stand alone campaigns.

engineers are the best guys to date because we are taught to do it right the first time...

8/29/09 10:39:12 PM#14

Ill definetly be a Charr but I am also interested in the classic race...humans...GW did a great job with humans so I wouldn't mind keeping that tradition alive in GW2...but I would be very interested in the Charr first

I was initially planning on making a Sylvari, and then my ideas switched to Asura. But currently... I am really excited about making a Charr Necromancer... black and dark.

I am hoping there will be some new proffesions though... Sylvari don't match much except maybe a ranger; A druidic proffession would be cool. And maybe for Asura, there can be a Golemancer class. Norn can have some kind of Bear Warrior. And Charr can have... Shaman perhaps. Also racial spells and stuff would be cool.

I am hoping that Guild Wars 2 has more end-game raids and gear. GW1 was fun, but after you got to level 20... There was only getting money. I mean, I have 8 level 20s and am pretty done with GW1...

Changing gear looks on different races could be difficult, such diversity.

Sylvari gets my vote. My second choice would be Asura.

Now that I think about it, class restrictions, if any, would probably determine my choice of race.

Strength, Courage, Wisdom..which one are you?

8/30/09 6:55:28 AM#23

 A Sylvari Assassin would make me so happy. Or a Ranger...or Elementalist!

Oh god...I've already decided I should save money to buy extra character slots.
I'm gonna need them methinks.

If there will be enough slots I will definately create at least one character from each race but if not I will probably create a Asura, a Sylvari and a Charr.! ^_^

My main will be a female Sylvari. My alt will be an Asura.


I'm not big on alts, though, as I don't see the point behind them for the most part, so my main will get far more attention.
