What are the Human powers?
So certain races will enhance different powers, Orc - strength, Elf - Accuracy, Dwarf - Mining Speed etc... I'm assuming.
What perks will being Human provide? Discuss.
Here are my guesses.
Being better at the Stock Market
Paying lower, or no taxes.
Being better/worse at politics.

Probably the taxes or politics one, but I'll still vote for chest hair.
Wouldn't be the first time, other games did the same. Orcs are usually brutes with extra damage, elves have higher accuracy/dexterity, dwarves usually get a crafting/construction speed bonus while humans have their stats evened out and the player might be able to choose a focus manually during character creation.
Religion = Orcs
Economy = Humans
Military = Elves
Think this isnt too far off the mark.
This is not Earth. And humans in Ashes aren't Earth humans. So I don't see why "humans" in Ashes wouldn't have some real special powers, different then boring all around things like in other MMOs.
Ashes should be different. And this is one thing where it can be different.
Humans are inhabitants of the planet earth, there are so far no other known humanoids in the universe. We didn't find any inteligent lifeforms in the universe, eventually their remains and satelites, but even if we did, we wouldn't call them "humans". It like calling dogs, cat and similar animals "fourfootwalkers". Every race has their own name and there can only be one human race, divided into multiple human sub-races.
Conspiracy theory incoming: the AoC world is called Verra, similar to Terra, the latin (I think?) word for earth. Verra = Planet Earth?
If you want realism go play.. I don't even know what... train simulator?
The point being, I believe it's time to change humans being the "boring race" like in other MMOs, and change something about them.
Again "fantasy game", so there is no reason whatsoever why humans wouldn't have some more interesting racial ability.
Seriously, your argument here is that we didn't find any humanoid race in universe? lol
I give up, someone take over please.
Hmm... Maybe a portal to Terra was opened a long time ago and Orcs, Humans, Elves, and Dwarfs came over to Verra and defeated the old gods. The Tulnar tried to stop them but failed and now we're back.
Another interesting thing is that they keep saying Verra is the mother planet where life began, but for whom? Mother planet of Tulnar or everyone else? There are three Earth races but is it our home?
I guess Steven has to clear up for whom life began on Verra, or maybe for all races? As you said, Humans, Dwarves and Orcs are all habitants of Earth/Terra/Verra. Tulnar could just be a new mutated animal race, or besides orcs another "fantasy" addition to planet earth.
