The races

The standard 4. I had hoped for a non-humanish type of race to mess with. 
Orcs, Humans, Elfs and Dwarves.
Well.. could be worse I suppose.

    You realize the Tulnar are there also? And as for standard, I don't think I have ever seen a game that has gone with Polynesian culture dwarves over the bog standard "we have no magic, like gold, and live underground" sterotype. Also the game is meant to be a high fantasy, holy trinity, make mmos great again throwback. Kind of hard if they add space cows or pandas.

    I got my info from the wiki so I don't know about the Tulnar, there's nothing about them listed or the fact that the dwarves are Polynesian.
    I can only go with the info I find.

    And I was hoping for Wolves actually. =P

    Well they would be really cute in unreal engine 4. You can not deny that.

    I don't know what "the wiki" is. aocwiki.net is one I use, but there are several. There is no official wiki for the game endorsed by the developers, all of them are labors of love by the community and some are more complete than others.
    Here is your Polynesian reference.

    The only thing I'm wondering about is whether or not the Tulnar will be divided into 2 separate 'cultures' like the other races, though probably not since they have been living together as a collective of different races. :neutral:

    you could take a look here, I posted some links and pictures with some more info about the tulnar.

    @AreeSoothsayer Well to be honest it wouldn't make much sense to add 12 different races when they already have a lot on their plate. Not like they can't offer more races down the road in future expansions.

    Here is the concept art. If that isn't Polynesian I don't know what is. I'm actually really excited for this since it is such a radical change from the traditional dwarf culture.
