It will be a tough decision for me. How about you?

Either a Ritualist, Paragon, or Monk. At this point I don't really care about races because we don't know all of them for sure yet.

I'll most likely just stick with a human for my main character, but I'm really dying to make a Charr as well. I'll most likely make a character for each of the races.

Not sure about the proffessions yet though, it sounds like they may be changing them up quite a bit, so I'm going to wait and see before I decide.

I'm probably going to run Sylvari or Human. As for class, if they keep the Ritualist, I'll be going for that. If not, Elementalist.

Assuming all the classes are intact:

1) Charr Elementalist
2) Human Mesmer
3) Asura Necromancer
4) Sylvari Monk
5) Charr Ritualist
6) Norn Warrior
7) Asura Dervish
8) Human Paragon
9) Charr Assassin
10) Norn Ranger

In that order.

Charr > all.

We don't even know the professions yet (they said they will condense professions), or if any professions are race exclusive! This is incredible speculation...

As people pointed out, we aren't even sure if the classes will stay intact.

Anyway, for me it will really depend on a few things (will the different races start out in different places, will they have certain inherient bonuses, what will my friends be doing, etc).

Well I'm most likely to make a ranger as my first char, since they are just plain awesome. I am just going to make a list of what races I will choose for each profession, if I even use some of those professions:

Ranger - Charr (RAWR!)

Warrior - Norn

Monk - Sylvari

Mesmer - Asura (Bwahahaha!)

Elementalist - Charr (Guess what element?)

Necromancer - Human (But only if they update their looks to look more magey and less "7 foot hunched over freak wearing action figure armor")

Assassin - Asura (2 foot tall ninja of DOOM!)

Ritualist - Sylvari

Paragon - Norn

Dervish - Human

Ranger - Tengu (if possible)

Warrior - Human/Norn/Charr

Monk - Asura/Sylvari

Mesmer - Sylvari

Elementalist - Sylvari

Necromancer - Asura

Assassin - Tengu (If possible)

Ritualist - Norn

Paragon - Sylvari

Dervish - Charr

It also gives an insight into how people view the races and how they see the professions in relation to the races. But, maybe that's a little too cerebral for a forum.

Asura are probably short and creepy. T_T Like munchkins or something. And I bet there'll be lots of them. Count me out.

We don't know the professions, but I assume since it is an RPG there will be "melee" "healer" "wizard-type" "archer type" and so on...Myself, I'd probably make a human (yay for average!) spellcaster of some kind...and then a Charr melee or ranged character (Rawr!). Don't even know what the Norn and Sylvari look like, so I can't even say if I'd make a character for one or both of those or not. If I don't like them, then the others will be humans or Charr. Overall, assuming four slots: 1-2 Charr, 2-3 humans, Melee, Ranged, Spellcaster, Spellcaster.

Human Minstrel, killing enemies by playing a lute is a really hillarious twist in my opinion.

I doubt there will be alot of Asuras, since about 90% of the people in the Asura minipet thread bashed the critter.

Mes or rit, human or sylvan. Maybe asura if they are rare enough

hmmm.... war asura... Cant wait to see one.

By the way, I think no one here will be surprised if some classes diseapear. People just mean the closest match.

Human Necromancer, named... Curse You. How does this make sense? He's a descendant, who was named for his ancestor.

Then probably an Asura Warrior. I'd love seeing a two foot tall thing tanking mobs.

Also, Charr Monk or Elementalist, assuming they use similar models to the Shaman or Fire Caller.

An Asura Warrior with a shield taller than he is would be pretty cool I guess...

I plan on being a norn don't know if I will go for others deffently will try them out to see how they play but a norn might be the best for farming and since its kinda hinted that they will have attribute based proffessions like a normal MMO I don't know how things will work with the professions. Who knows maybe the norn is the Wammo lol

SuTih Ithink its some where in the PC gamer but not to sure where and If I'm talking out my A$$

I imagine a full-size Asura to be about the same height of a Dwarf...

Anyone else have a guess?

I agree with Eldin, rangers are awesome and that will be the first one I make this time. And, it will be human. Actually, I'm going to make all my guys human.
