I've always heard playing small races tends to last longer in PvP because people tend to eye glance taller races because they are more noticable. I'm gonna have to try out the asura and see if it works out.

I love my Norn Thief. He looks like a 9' tall cross between Altiar/Enzio from Assassin's Creed and TechnoViking.

HAHA!, For some reason, this reminds me of an old cartoon.

Some players find it easier to RP as a human race then a imaginary lore race <imo>

I know it's a stretch, but hopefully you get what I am saying.. LOL!

In daoc this was true. You couldn't see them because of the hills and bushes and bumps in the terrain.

I used to paint my armor green on my eldrich (magelike) and wear pants(makes you look like a rogue or something else not as one-shottable) instead of robes to hide in the trees and to blend in with the grass.

As someone who did not beta test what-so-ever - I will probably try out several.

That being said - Charr Warrior has intersted me, but I assumed everyone and their mother would have one which was holding me back - perhaps if this poll holds any truth, that may not be the case.

Actually, the Charr is the least played race according to multiple polls I've seen, including Gw2census.

Humans are still most popular.

I will play with a human, it may be 250 years later and in order to make an unpopular alliance in these hard times the human nobility has fabricated a lie to blame the king for blowing ascalon up as a means to get support from the good people of queensdale, however i still believe my ancestors handed down stories told the truth in the hardships caused by the filthy charr destroying ascalon and in their pursuit of my ancestors they tried to make man extinct...

For me it is an uneasy alliance and when fighting along side a charr i will be all to careful to watch for an arrow or a sword to my back....

Charr warrior.  I could care less if you see my animations a mile away, there is just something about a big mean toothy animal man with heavy armor and a plethora of weapons that just screams awesome in my book.  I also like their lore, starting areas, personal quest chains, city, looks, and focus on steampunk (I am tired of typical mideival fantasy mmo's).

Cheers!

Least noticed and you can hide behind others and in small bushes/trees/hills etc. Usually able to fire off at ranged and have someone half dead or dead before they notice it, heh.

Norn and Sylvari. :)

Well, out of the personal stories I tried the Charr seemed the most interesting, but I prefer human animations and I have an itching for a warrior Norn and a Sylvari thief.

So in other words, I haven't a clue yet :D

The good old days of Dark Age of Camelot. Boy do I miss the days when mmo's were a niche. =]

Human or Norn. Probabl Human.

Normally I play elves but can't get into the Sylvari.

Still not decided on class. either guardian or warrior. I like the elementalist as well so probably one of those.

I'm not sure what race I'll pick first.  I know I definitely won't be a dirty human.  I just can't get into religiously themed stuff that well.

I know I want to play a Guardian, but for the life of me I can't figure out what race I'll want him to be.

Human first, others later.

Probably going to avoid Charr, not my style.

...Last I checked I walk around town with a rifle, laying gun turrets and mines on the ground. Just because we choose human doesn't mean we are being the "same thing" we are in real life. It's not like if I pick Asura or Charr I'm really convinced that I "AM" an asura or charr. It's still just on my computer screen, nothing more.

That said I'll likely do a Human Engineer, Asuran Guardian, Sylvari Mesmer, Norn Necro, Charr Ranger. Maybe Asuran thief as well.
