Which race will you be?

in Guild Wars 2
Guild Wars is known for its unique turn on a classic gamestyle. Carrying that on with these original races seems to be a sought-after part of Guild Wars 2.
So which class will you pick?
The classic human
The strong and proud Norn
The intelligent and innovative Asura
The bloodthirsty and bellicose Charr
or the peaceful friends of nature, the Sylvari
I'm leaning towards the Sylvari mostly because they are brand new, or maybe the Asura.
Past: Can never go back to Wow.
Present: Nothing interesting out.
Future: Looking forward to GW2.

My main character will be a Norn and my first alt will probably be an Asura.
Edit: I will play all the races if we get enough character slots
Charr all the way, I wouldn't mind playing an Asura but only if I can make it look really evil
Hmm. This question keaps coming up more times. Each time i give a diffirent answer but this time. I think that i will say that if there is 4 or more charachter slots i will make player of each race except humans because they have gotten boring 2 me. i think that i will have to go towards Charr 1# (guns, Tanks, Helicopters, War ships, Enemy in Guild wars 1) and either Sylvari or Asura next because they have thisame amount of points except. Sylvari( new, can awake stone things, look alot like plant people of sims 2 seasons) Asura( better golems and technology) but not really any changes apart from the ability to play them. Thisame high advanced technology; thisame golem creating things. All that is realy new with them is that they made a few more cities with 3 colleges and Rata Sum grew a bit more.
Norn are on a special list for me because they are unique but not unique at thisame time. They look to much like humans. they where not a race that was a enemy But their powers are so cool. Norn are on my lets wait and see list.
Norn or Sylvari most propably.
I will start with remaking my human ranger from the first game, after that anything can happen (except Asuras, they seems rather gnome like to me and I hate those small buggers).
I am BTW ready to polish Mike O'briens boots with my tongue to get into the beta. Heck, I do the whole dev team.
You take the left boot and I'll take the right
Asura (or maybe Sylvari) since they both seem to be the most pet-oriented races. We still don't really know how race choice will affect classes though since supposedly the same class will have different skill variations based on race.
Definitely a Charr
100% Charr
i will definite give each race a try, even humans and will definitely roll a female human elementalist (or its GW2 equivalent) ;-)
but im currently really excited for Sylvari
cuz ive been wishing to play a teen-age looking toon in GW1
Have fun storming the castle! - Miracle Max
Charr. ive killed them enough and now i wanna join em. not to mention they look cool
Either an Asura or a Charr. Enough with the humans!
I think I'm gonna roll Norn first. I like the morphing thing they've got going on.
Charr no doubt fighting them was fun but being them. here comes a hole new word that fun cannot describe.
Norn next because they just rule. The viking mixed with native american. Morphing and 9ft tall!
Sylvari next. New race. they look awesome. Plant people i think no other MMO has done and awakening stone creatures just seams like fun.
Asura now. Asura are anoying in the way they think the world revolves around them and how they used Sylvari as workers and test subjects but they where not playable in GW1and Golems look like a great fun time controling.
Humans....I think u know why. I still want to play them 2 see how Kryta changed and how Divies reach looks and all how the other GW1 places look like. I want to see how their armour changed thats pretty much it. Just to see how things have changed.

I believe that each race has its own starting areas, that's going to be fun when you've got whole guilds starting together, I would guess Anet has designed it so the starting areas all lead to the same quest lines and aren't too big. Great for alts but could lead to some 'fun' bickering for guilds choosing a race if they all want to start together *evil grin*
Coming up to the 5th anniversary of GW, hopefully that will bring us fresh GW2 news too.
The more I think about it the more i want to play Charr, Pyre Fierceshot was one of my favourite characters in EotN, great voice acting. I also liked the lore surrounding the different charr factions and how the role of female charr started to change. Maybe a female Charr Warrior or a male Charr Shamen, tough decisions! They look awesome and the advances in technology makes their starting city a must see.
I still like the idea of a really evil looking Asura though, hope that option is there, guess if the game is as good as we hope then most of us will end up with one of each
Choice for me is also going to be dependent on what classes are going to be available, Sylvari look like great rangers or mesmers to me while Asura would be elementalists or ritualists, Norns would make rubbish assassins though, can't imagine them being stealthy...
Im going the same as the OP, Sylvari, maybe Asura. It goes down to customization in my opinion. Syvari is my favored right now but if you cant be male, im out. But I need Asura to also have enough options to look unjique, not just ear size or something. If not those two (mostly likely 1 of them though) then Human is my backup. I dont want to be Charr or Nord though
MMOs played: Too many
Watch List: FFXIV, CoH:GR, GW2, SWTOR, TERA, Earthrise
I'm going to make a Charr character first, then I might make a Human.
U guys do know that it has been confirmed that Extra races will be in Expansions. I'am guessing Centaurs
Centaurs would be cool
I want to gallop and be half horse. GW centaurs are not the average centaur where the body is human then from the waiste down is from the neck of a horse. They also have horse heads with horns. they have manes and are not human coloured. They are purple green and a few more colours. So they realy look unique from other cretures. They are like all the Guild wars races infact. Unique and never be done before all except for Humans (The dwarves are stone so they don't count).
If they put Centaurs as playable in any Expansions they will be my favourite no doubt.
Do You see the 3 centaurs in the pick with the blue highlights. I think they are Jormag afflicted. I will show you some pictures of what I mean about Jormag Afflicted. They are turned into ice creatures
Johnny
Some Jormag Afflicted ( i only think this is what happened to these normal creatures turned Iced) some i think are transformed Kodans. Like Kodans transformed into ice things. like hwat norn can do/.
Johnny
Great points. I want to add to them by saying Kodan might be added as well don't u think? They seam like a cool race but i think making their faces would be the hardest thing for ArenaNet. When u said Centaurs I thought thisame thing hard to create faces.
Depends on if they restrict classes by race. If not then I'll probably go Sylvari or Asura.
Charr.
Definately Charr.
MMMM Maybe .. Charr
seems like a lot of people want to be charr lol
Past: Can never go back to Wow.
Present: Nothing interesting out.
Future: Looking forward to GW2.
I will probably have a human main, and a Charr alt. Not sure though.
