Seems like this is very open to allow new races join. Or even explore different worlds. Who knows if there is a god that will open a portal to new areas in a way that all the current races are in.

Well, didnt they say that the Tolnar are practically 3 races packed into one or something like that? I think they said something about them being adabtable. (a few looked like worgen from WoW or like dragonborn from D&D)

Actually they said that the tulnar are a mix of all 4 mayor races and all minor races which where present before the fall. 
See here: https://youtu.be/JH-sX1aFljM?t=23m04s
They always say something like: "influences of reptilian, mammalian, humanoid"
But this statement doesn´t mean that there can't be more influences, because we don´t know jet what minor races existed.

HOLD ON i cant be a dark elf?

or, i can make one in the character creator and role play as a dark elf? 

I better be able to pick a shade of Carmel for my pyrai elf lol.

People have specifically asked for Drow or "Dark Elves" a couple times, and those times the answer has been no. Races will have a range of options available to them, not every range. While it will do little to dissuade the mass of angry edgelords that had planned to name their characters a variation of Drizzt or Sepiroth, they are going to have to settle for what Steven has decided are his image of "high fantasy elves."

Dark elves are such a staple in fantasy games my money would be on the first character added after the games release would be a dark elf. It'd play super well into the story and lore too.

I haven´t seen undead being killed...
Strange birdpeople, al lot of walking mushrooms, some little buglike things, broodqueens, weird monster bunnys, flower monsters and some other monsters. But no undead.

But the mission in the new gameplay stated "free the cemetery from the monsters". So they weren't raiding a tomb they were getting rid of Monsters on a graveyard.
And these ghouls looked like zombie-birdpeople. Are you even against killing zombie-birds?

Not sure about alpha0 gameplay. Going to search for it.

@nagash Didn't you say you wanted all undead to be free? Aren't undead trapped souls inside of decaying bodys? Killing them sets them free. Killing them is the only righteous way.

What if they chose to be undead? Maybe they feared death, and you force your decision on them. You would kill them just because your opinions differ!

Confrontation therapy. You have to face your fears even if its death. Thus the only way to show them their unsubstantiated fear of death is to kill them.

You cant just force someone to overcome their fear of death by murdering them. xD
At least give them some sort of counceling first. Maybe some 3 hour sessions every monday, wednesday and friday.

In WoW, I really liked Panda.... oh nevermind. But some bearish race is always cool in fantasy games

I hope the Tulnar are there when the game goes live. I'd hate to have to restart when they do come out because I doubt they'll give race reroll items.

I'm pretty sure that we are getting them before launch because we hit the stretch goal during the Kickstarter. 

https://aocwiki.net/Races#Tulnar It looks like at pax east Steven said we should get them before Alpha 2.
