But a new race would not change anything but add another workload hidden behind a paywall for existing players. I would be all for new ways to play the game but forcing me to buy a fantasia to see what the devs have come up with only to find the same gameplay would be bad in the long run.

New races wont add any variance to the game other than making some players have different heads (because lets be honest, any new race wont differ in any significant way from what we have)
