I've seen all these post about the amazing stuff you can do in this game, but what i wanna know about no one is posting. Do the races have different racial abilites? Does your class progess through talent point trees or do your spells/skills progess by  buying higher lvl ones? Does every race start out with the same stats as the rest? When you make a class do you get to allocate points into str/dex/agi or all they all preset? The reason i ask these question is because when the game launches some of the races are not going to be in the game. I would hate to have a high lvl toon and then another races becomes playable with better starting stats or a better racial ability for the class i'm playing and have to re-roll because of it.

I have made a thread on this forum with links to most of  the features/guides :
