@VyrVandalous I like the idea of more races being added in the future... Obviously balancing and such things will be a major point to look at.
But surely crafting should be open to anyone... With humans and their body upgrades they will probably be best crafter like someone mentioned here, also being in Central planet makes them initial best choice.
However I don't think that the classic races like elf, orc or dwarf need to be added... These races are from many games and lore. Why have the same thing again?
They can make any type of race they want, why do the same as everyone...
I think what could be cool later is perhaps more quests to change your initial race to something else. At the moment we have:
Human to Lich
Beastmen to Abomination (evil alignment change)
Demon to Angel (good alignment change)
6 races already in the game! (11 if you count subraces)
