MMOs have used and overused too many "typical" races.
Let our imagination go wild and start thinking about stuff that could be fun to play, shall we ?
Here's some ideas :
-Ethereal : visually ghost-ish (transparent)
-Elemental : air, earth, water, fire (eventually metal, blood, lightning, wood,...)
-Imp (not Tyrion), tiny devil
-Insect type humanoid
-Beholder (flying eye), would be caster only
-Blob/ooze, ewww
Let me see your funny ideas :)
Well, we've already got your first two examples in the game with Gnomes and Archai.
EDIT: I'd like to see a tiny race like EverQuest brownies. That would be sweet.

Personally, I think the Skar could be considered an insect-like humanoid too.
But I'd always like to see a bird-man race.
I'd like to see those Bird men expanded out to general humanoid animals. Canine, feline, ursine, bovine, equestrian, avian, reptilian.... Gives a lot of options for character creation and would grab them all at once. One group is going to want birds, some cats, etc... just go all in with it.
A fairy or brownie race might be cool too, but i'd like to see them a bit bigger than traditional brownies and fairies... i mean.. how much of a warrior can a 16 inch tall brownie be?
One thing you need to keep in mind is that we need to think about how the race fits into cass lore.
How is an ooze/blob going to be anything other than a blob? What class could they possibly be? How would a mindless "thing" become intelligent?
Half-orcs...
Take one from GW2 and make a race of genderless plant people. I don't know why but I always liked that concept.
Dragonkin, since much of the lore revolves around dragons..... might be kinda cool. Not half dragon as in half man half lizard, but a humanoid race that came from a sect of dragons that were turned into humans but retain some of their dragon abilities.... something along those lines.
I am looking forward to minotaurs or something along those lines. I also like the idea of Snakemen but something different/unique about them that not many focus on. I also would like to see a spiderlike race. Not a drider from Forgotten realms but somekind of arachnid race maybe scorprion...
