For those praying for beastmen races, and think that alot of people are with them on this. Check out this Guild Wars 2 news snippet.

guild wars 2 writer laments racial lopsidedness

(The important bit is the bottom left, with the "Human" race making up a massive percentage of character creation, with other classes lingering at around 15%)

Hell look at how few people make Roegadyn as it stands in XIV. Beast races may sound novel and cool, but when it comes to being practical to develope them...it just doesn't boil down to being a good idea at the end of the day. Why spend so much time on a new set of animations/gear design/whatnot when like 10% of your players will pick it over everything else?

It's also why I'm a advocate of them focusing on the current races and making them diverse animation wise instead of plopping in more races, likewise with mounts. Stick with Chocobos and flesh them out, don't give everything with teeth and glaws a saddle...

The Charr and Asura look so great in GW2, but even I chose a human warrior because I played a human in GW1.

All of my other characters have been Asura and Charr though.
