Will we ever see an Orc / Dwarf Metropolis?

As much as I want to see a Nikua and Ren'Kair metropolis, I know it's going to come down to player demographics - will we have servers full of elves and humans...yet again...will people pick something new...who knows. Even if there are many dwarves and orcs, they'll still need to outnumber the other races in their areas or in their guilds, which seems...unlikely? what do you think?

What race are you leaning toward? Personally, I like the look of Ren'kai.

Planing on an Orc Bard here...

I'm planning on Vek for my main.
Good chance I might have a Nikua striving for a Nikua Metro.

Hard to say without knowing the racial benefits, but Orc is a pretty popular flavor

The fact Horde out numbers Alliance in WoW across the whole population doesn't support your theory at all.

@karthos
Where is my LOL button when I need one!!!!

He does make a point.
Maybe there will be some short npc race oasis villages in the game.

As for the nodes, remember it's not that big of a deal.

Good point; this gives me hope.

Though it seems the breakdown still favours elves and humans, Orcs are more loved than I thought:

Tulnar. Tulnar. Tulnar. Tulnar!

I like orcs. I want to see more orcs. More orcs is plain orcy.

I'm giving the Vek a hard look; testing will refine my choices.

Kind of wish they included Goblins.. Loved them in Warhammer Online...

Wololo

Orcs be so populair !
I am probably going for one too, RenKai as main. All of the classes seem so intresting

cant wait to get more info on them. Could this be the first game where not 90% is human or elf ?

Look out for the tulnar. They are supposed to include around 4 races.

Varkun

Ren'Kai master race metro for sure.

Tolthor

The Dunir have plenty of folk with overactive loins! Don't count us out just yet

Without racial bonuses, I can't really tell which race will I chose. In WoW, my main was orc. I like the taurens much better, but their racial was worse for hunter, that is why I chose orc. But in lot of other MMO, I played with elves.
From the concept arts it seem that there will be not big differences between races, mainly the head. I am not happy with it.

If the only difference will be the head, I will be very upset, too.

A player's choice of race will influence their racial abilities.

Each race has different base stats.
Races are not gender or class locked.
Some classes may work better with certain races but nothing is enforced.

Stat growth
Stat growth proceeds in the following order:
The race "seeds" a player's base stats.
The primary archetype grows the base stats.
The secondary archetype (class) further grows the stats.

Maybe you could get all the dwarves to get together and play in certain node. It goes by which race gives the node the most experience. From what I know you could wait to level five node then get as many dwarves as you can in your area so that when the metropolis comes it will dwarven

Ashes has racial stat progression in addition to different body models for the various races.
