People were cheering for the idea of the new panda race to be playable but it really doesn't make sense at this point since we don't have any of the lore for them yet. Buranyi have been mentioned as well but, again, we don't really have the lore to make them a viable player race yet. Still the only game that comes close to the number of races in EQ2 is Vanguard so I don't expect they're in a hurry to add more yet, though as Lore mentioned it never hurts to /feedback, I know they read those daily. As for new classes, I don't expect to see any ever. As Lore said they're a pain to balance and really what class can you add that isn't just another version of a class that's already there? I think they're wishing they didn't even have 24 classes to mess with right now trying to make 6 different priests classes all a viable main healer while still being different enough to justify being called a separate class is one of the things they're fighting with now. Still, as an alt-aholic I would love to see more classes/races too :) I’m always up for new races but I’m actually hard pressed to think of any race they could make playable that would make any sense.

I would like to see a new race (and there was some begging for pandas to be playable) and think it more likely -- but, I'm not sure what they could add as playable that would make sense at this point. It's always worth /feedback if you have an idea for one though!

If not a new race (heres what I was rooting for) some new classes. SOE said they'd not do that until classes were balanced.. well I kinda think they are now. So WTF? And if not, why is it taking them YEARS? New race or new class for this expansion is desired, I don't think theres enough (And I play an erudite main) So no new classes OR races – again? :( it should be every other expansion, hell it’d have been over 2 years since the last one (Sarnak) was put in.
