Yeah I'd be keen purely for the fact they have the best running animation in the game and can dual wield.

As far as the Tengu race, I don't really care if they are there or not. I'll most probably end up playing as a human. Playing as a Tengu (or Mursaat, or any other creature) may be fun and all at first, but I think the "coolness" will last only so long...

I think they've got a nice selection of races planned so far, with some that can be used for inevitable expansions (like the Tengu for Cantha and Centaur? for Elona). But maybe they will offer Tengu from the start of GW2. After all, in the Movement of the World article (originally published in the special GW edition of PC Gamer), it is explained that the new emperor forced all non-human races out of Cantha. However, it would probably be smarter to include them in a Cantha expansion as a major selling point.
I wouldn't mind the Dredge as a playable race. I mean, they're giant moles with huge drills on their heads. What more could you want? But I'm pretty happy with the Charr, and depending on how they turn out, the Sylvari.

Unconfirmed "races" that could/should be added to GW2 as playable: Tengu, Mursaat, Undead, Dredge(hope not), Centaur, Grawl (they are at least semi-sentient, who knows), Harpies(same as Grawl), and Naga(same as Grawl and Harpies). At least how I see it.
Most likely of that list: Tengu, Undead, Mursaat, Centaur, Dredge
And the 3 most wanted, as it seems to me, for adding to GW2 (in order: Tengu, Mursaat, Undead
So, ANet, just add those three!
I suppose that I will settle for Charr and Sylvari until the Cantha expansion comes out

The towns are going to look very different with the new races walking around.
I wonder if they will do something about the characters walking through each other, I realise its difficult to not have this because it would be impossible to get through crowds to access traders xunlai chests etc and esp at events.
But my thought it its going to look really bad with the disparity in sizes, I mean how long it it going to take before players take their norn character and start sitting on the asura.

anyways, I am really up for the mursaat! Im also ready for some tengucide if they do make them playable and hell, undead is cool

Huh.
I've seen it mentioned a few times before, but I have a hard time thinking of undead as an actual race rather than an affliction on the deceased of ... various races. Maybe that's just Diablo 2 coming through though. Although the undead didn't seem to have much of a culture of any sort in GW1 either, they were just minions.
UNLESS... people are referring to Palawa Joko's horde? Those guys are pretty cool.
I'm still doubtful as to whether the Mursaat are any more likely than the Dwarves though. There could be more of them, but that's not saying much, and we can't be sure even of that.

They could add Tengu if they wanted to, but I'll probably stay with humans, maybe Charr, as I'm the most familiar with those races.

I most likely will stick with a human character no matter what they offer, but Tengu seem a lot cooler than Dwarves, Asuran [who are assholes, I should add], Charr, and Norn.
What's up with people requesting non-stone dwarves? I really doubt they'd have Jalis' stone guys.

I can't live without the Tengu as a playable race, what if my Charr would crave for chicken wings while PvPing ?!
For a more serious note; What happened to your creativity? I want a NEW playable race that we've never seen before, now that would be awesome.
Besides, GW2 will probably be more futuristic, with professions like Mechanic (don't deny it, it's unavoidable [I don't like it either] ).

I believe this is what the shake down will be.
Tengu = Playable race in the Cantha expansion for GW2. Maybe they will play a large role as revolutionaries to up throw the Communist canthan government.
Centaurs = Playable race in the Elona expansion for GW2. Probably will be doing the same thing as the tengu, trying to revolt against Palawa Joko.
Naga = Well, I personally don't think they're civilized enough to become a race. So far we have never seen a naga speaking english NPC, correct me if I'm wrong. Armor for them would be a bitch anyways.

yeah, and if they expose themself overly long without clothing, the characters will turn blue then black, then gold will disappear from their storage.if there are gonna be new race I want something with wings, cant take flight and run

Personally, I would to see the Tengu as a playable race, but more than likely they will be introduced in future GW2 expansions. As for the Mursaat or Margonites (reformed mayhaps??)as possible toons, I'm OK with that as well.
Tender Wolf
Seen this mentioned a million times before but I see the point. But it's possible that the Tengu may not be alive 250 years from now (GW2 time). It would be cool to play a Dwarf but of course because of the ending of GWEN that's not possible. But I see no reason why Tengu can't be added, even though I'll still be happy if they don't (Norn and sylvari ftw!).
Sirius-NZ
Possible, yes, but not particularly likely. No mention of anything that would wipe out the Caromi, Avicara and Quetzal.

All their blurb for GW2 states specific races only... and Cantha becomes a mess.... Tengu could move over I guess.... But all their spin-off cousin badies too? Quezels and the like....?

), but there are some Tengu-like creatures in Tyria (like the ones in Kryta and Asura territory) that might stay. You never know.

I wonder if they killed off the Dwarfs because they couldnt face creating female dwarfs.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the Tengu, and I won't be signing up to play them. But on general principle, sure, Tengu work as a potential playable race.
