    I would agree with you, if clans meant anything.

    The biggest Problem with Race/Clan dynamic in this game is that it means nothing. I don't want Race Specific Stats, but things like Factions or some kind of in game impact would be nice.

    Until we get something to that effect, there is no point in making more clans.

    I definitely agree that clans should have more real impact in the game, but the one and only thing that clans currently DO impact is more character customization options. So I was really just asking for more customization instead of more clans

    Agreed, the bottom line with adding a new anything such as race or clan is that customization needs improvemnt first and there has to be a reason other than aesthetics to just add another intelligent race to the game.

    Um... Why? Aesthetics are nice too. They could add 10 whole new races and it wouldn't have any sort of negative impact on the gameplay. I don't see the problem with adding new races just for the hell of it. Sometimes more fluff that doesn't really have any bearing on gameplay is still a good thing, it gives character to the game. It's just not as important as actual content.

    Maybe someday far down the road, but from a current development standpoint its irrelevent.

    using WoW as a base here, dont flame me. but im pretty sure that they didn't add races til burning crusade, which was what the second expansion? If they ask us about adding a race now, it probably means they want to start working on it, but its not nessesary in the least. Want more variety? Develop more jobs for people to get exited about.

    It would be a way to spice up hamlets, if they had clan villages of some sort. Could offer some clan-locked gear there to add a little bit of incentive to visit.

    All it should mean is we look different, we don't need different races treated differently.

    Just like real life.
