It doesn’t fit in with the lore of the game.
New World isn’t set in some grand fantasy epic which sports hundred of races and mythical beasts. It’s set in our world. It’s humans colonizing an island, stumbling upon some mysterious red magic and other mysterious magics making humans go “BLARGHEGHLRHGH”
Right now, no. but at some point I see this game expanding into that. Keep in mind, New World is less then 2 months old, who knows where we’ll end up later on.
new world definitely doesn’t look like our world. so they get to introduce whatever they want.
like Orks, Elves and Lizardmen?
A race of bugs that secretly control the (new) world? 
We already have that now, and they seem to be getting stronger.
AGS is woke and does not encourage or espouse racial disparity. everyone is the same and one pigment of skin is not celebrated over another.
Have to say, it’s the most revolutionary way I’ve seen yet to introduce a new race to an MMO - oooh the build up, oooh the immersion!! xD
Racism is a dumb, wrong term as there dont exist other human races, but only one human race.
The apropriate word is xenophobia and refelcts better what those people suffer from, a phobia!
SO if you mean races as in different genetics such as Asian, Saharan, Mongolian and such then sure all for that. But there are plenty of rainbow pooping unicorns, sexy centaurs and elves in other games. Let us try to keep things even though it is in theory a fantasy game, a bit more down to earth shall we?
I mean like, Undead, Lost, those nature people in Edengrove.
Naa, would not want to see that.
Race: Rabbits
Trait: Fluffy Killer - Enemies are so smitten with your cuddliness that they never attack first, which gives you a chance to strike at their jugular.
Weakness: Holy Grenade of Antioch - “To Three Thou Shallt Count”
The Rabbits are back to take revenge for murder of Stanley.
I want pixies for smaller hitbox;)
Don’t worry. GA will still have the targeting power of a heat seeking avenger xD
Definitely no. Not a Grand Fantasy MMORPG. There are other titles to play orcs and elves.
since Aplha one it has been mentioned to AGS many times that Templates need to be added
Some suggestions were
Height Adjustments
Muscle and Mass Adjustments
Properly designed Hairstyles / Facial hair that dont look like it was designed by some one in Microsoft Paint.
Small : Small older man/woman in his 50s as one template
Medium A Skinny or Buff Medium Male or Female
Large Fat or Large Muscle Templates
how does that have anything to do with what i said?
Elves, orcs etc. don’t belong in this game, but it could be kind of fun to be able to play as a lost, corrupted or angry earth. It wouldn’t really fit to have them wondering around the human settlements but if you introduced a new faction controlled region (e.g. a lost pirate territory) with their own race specific starter towns it could be interesting. It might also be a good way of introducing more types of PvP content and events, e.g. doing PvP quests in each other’s territory or a new kind of war mode.
I suspect that is an idea for the distant future though, if at all.
Are those the green plant people?
