So yeah... I think the most popular race will be the humans as always. XD Asura will be the least because they get no love. :[
And I think Warriors, Monks, and Eles will be the most played classes like they are now. <3 I see Rangers and Paragons at the bottom because they aren't loved (like Asura). </3
EDIT:
professions:
1. warrior
2. monk
3. elementalist
4. necromencer
5. assassin
6. dervish
7. ritualist
8. ranger
9. paragon
10. mesmer
races:
1. human
2. sylvari
3. norn
4. charr
5. asura
Most Popular Races/Professions In Guild Wars 2?

Actually, I made a ranger. I reallylike him, He's a Ranger/Ele. The races I agree with you on... humans do seem to be most likely. In all honesty, I love most of the professions in this game... I want to check to see if they will be adding any more professions are keeping the same ones. Either way... I can't wait

Human? cos she'll be my main's descendant.
Sylvari? they're "naturally ace at magic". how 1337 could u get?

definitely making a human (descendent) and a Sylvari. just because i love spellcasting.
and maybe i'll find something for w/e a paragon is going to be in gw2.
most popular profession in gw would have to be:
eles. they're easy to pick up and utilize, but to play them to their potential takes some work too.

Sylvari ranger... close enough to elf for me
Probably human second char for me. Im racist like that :P, dont like norns, or asurans. Chars are too catlike for me...

Well, Charr ele for me. I like charr, they have warbands, that's naturally cool.
Also, Sylvari ranger.
I think the popularity of the proffessions would look something like this:
(PvE)
I dislike Asura, they remind me of grumpy Gnomes.
I will also play a human, as it will be my mains' descendant!

The most popular will be human male wammos.

Um ... did I miss the announcement where ANet revealed the professions of GW2? I thought that the entire system was being reworked so it would be a moot point to rank GW1 professions by popularity in GW2.
Concerning races, it will certainly depend on racial abilities but my impression is that many GW1 players will choose something else than humans just because that was the only choice in the original. Most likely Norns will be all the rage and asurans as overlooked as mesmers are in GW1.

And I agree that Asurans will be almost completely overlooked, but I see the Charr being the big "bad ass" race that everyone wants to play as. I'll certainly be making a human as my main, but I really can't wait to play as the Char as well.

Truth is, we won't know 'til we're made aware of such traits and an idea of what skills will be.
On a side note, I also want to make a Charr caster. They just look awesome in GW1 when you're with the warband so I can only imagine they'd look even better in GW2.

Stolen Souls
Humans will remain the most popular, as the people will still want to dance naked in the popular outposts on Saturday nights.
Sylvari will be insanely popular at first, as they will be completely new, and everyone will want to try them. But their popularity will drop a bit after a few months, when the novelty wears off. How popular they stay will depend on how skimpy their armor will be.
Charr will be third. Who doesn't like Charr?
Norn will be next, as they can change into big teddybears.
Asura will be last. As they are ugly.
Races:
1. Human
2. Sylvari
3. Charr
4. Norn
5. Asura
Most of the "GW1 vets" will start with one of the "easiest" professions, to get as far as they can, as fast as they can (Warrior, Ele, Necro).
^my speculation

Anything that can be successfully min/maxed is going to be extremely popular once the unwashed masses turn to wiki rather than learning.

I think asurans are wanted..
Just imagine a little asura shadowstepping behind you back and stab you to death with daggers!

I'll probably be Elementalist (Mage/Warlock/...) again because I like to attack with powerful spells. Not too sure about race. Race may become Norn, stay Human or maybe Sylvari.

IF possible, I will make one of each race (depends on character slots/being able to buy slots online etc)
My first character is hard to decide, I want to make a Norn or a Charr first, but I also like the Sylvari and humans. Asura are not my faves but I would still want to make one of them as well ^_^

well since different races are going to have differen "special" things they can do (which i hope is not the case) and i quote from guildwars official wiki: "Different races will have different advantages and disadvantages, for example the Norn will be able to shapeshift into a half-bear half-human, with increased health and melee damage. It is presently not known what advantages other races will have."
i'll most probably have to wait and see what race is most suitable to take up the different professions. so until then. thats uncertain.
but i do know that i will be, like Guild Wars, making one each of the different professions and races. lots of mix and match there. hope characters slot is unlimited :P *big hint to arena net*

Well no official classes have been announced for GW2 but I guess you we can draw our conclusions. As far as races goes, I think people will still play human alot. I'll probably try all the races to see what I like the most.
illidan009
I'm making a monk(prolly a human) or ele b/c those get invited to parties more easily than wammos or nub sins/dervs....
HawkofStorms
Well, since we don't even know what professions will be... that's kinda a moot point.
But expect any guys with big melee weapons to be popular.
Anyways, Asura is DEFINATELY going to be low on the list. They need some sorta redesign or some mad unique buffs to be used by anybody. Maybe all the min-max D&D players won't mind playing a short/ugly character for +2 attributes... but other then that.

With the mechanics currently in the game it wouldn't surprise me one bit that certain races won't be able to be certain professions.
This is only logical if you look at it.
Asuran Hunters? I don't think their arrow will fly as far due to their lack of height.
Still... Since nothing is yet confirmed about professions thusfar this is only speculation.

Most popular classes are Elementalist, Necromance and Warrior. I've tried all the rest, but, I always end up coming back to these 3 as the most fun and the ones I farm with most.

true dat, also based on the pve skills Asuren are going to be rocken, Mursaat summons here i come woot woot also Pain inverter is imo one of the best skills in the game. and being able to travel with out mounts will be nice ie there warp gate system. also golems like how is that not awesome?
creelie
If Sylvari are thinly-disguised elves whose heaviest armor makes elementalists look overdressed (my sad suspicion) they will be the most popular.
If the designers surpass my expectations and go for a more alien, plantlike Sylvari (genderless would be amazing) then humans will be the most popular. Mostly girls with whitest possible skin and red hair. Yawn.
In PvP and high-end areas whatever is unbalanced will be the flavor of the month.
