The one thing I HATED about Guild Wars, is in PvP, you had to play a little munchkin Teletubby in PvP, or not play at all.

Sounds like a personal problem My vote stands with the little people. We have no idea what the name of Yoda's race is, but we do know they live to be VERY old, and could very well be a new race. We just have to give them a name. Even George never bothered to name his race, or his home planet. For all we know, Dagobah is all that remains of his once populated and thriving home world.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but maybe you guys should keep in mind what they have already said about potential upcoming species.

What we know so far is that
a. They don't want a non-basic speaking species, because they think it would get really annoying really fast having to listen to something like Wookieespeak (and oh God, I hate those damn Wookies...)

b. It's easier for them to create a species that can wear existing armor without major issues. They have never stated they would NEVER add anything like Ewoks, Jawas and Ugnaughts but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be as interested in them as humanoid species.


So, while I get that people would like to play a Jawa or a Wookie, if you really want to see a species being added in less than a year, I'd limit the suggestions to races that already exist in the game (like the Cathar did, albeit slightly different) and that cover the basic requirements that would make it easier for the devs to put them in the game.

Voss is a no-brainer. They are practically human with a different skin. Don't really like them, but whatever.
Togruta, Kaleesh and Kel Dorians are cool, but the clipping issues with Twi'leks and Miraluka is something you must be ready to accept that will happen here too should either of them be added.
The Nightsisters that someone mentioned in another thread are also cool, although to be honest I doubt they'd add a species for only female characters (unless I'm mistaken and there are male witches too) and they do look a lot like Rattataki.

Just my two cents.

My pick probably won't be very popular but I'd go with NightSister species.

My guess is voss and togruta will be the next species to come.

I'd love to play as a Voss. Perfect as it's just a human with a different skin, and no issues with the clipping and what-not.

Oh, and the Nightsisters counterpart are Nightbrothers. Nightbrothers are Zabrak (like Darth Maul and Savage Opress), and Nightsisters are Dathomirian. The Dathormirian Nightsisters are hybrids of male Zabraks from Rattatak and Dathomir's female Humans from the Nightsisters. The female witches sure do look like the Rattataki, but have Zabrak-like features too.

Ah, see? I did not know that. I thought there was no male counterpart.
Thanks for the info. I'm going to look that up.

lol too funny I just hate people like that. My best friend in the world is a member of the LPA. He plays soccer, wrestled in High school, and had more G/Fs than he could handle. Some people are just narrow minded jerks. But, I am glad we found you a new character name.

Togruta and Nautolan are perhaps the most popular of the requested species everyone wants, not sure what the third one will be.

Funniest part is that the english word you used for it comes from my language, so I know what each part of the word means and I STILL cannot remember it.
I'll have a hard time sending mail to my new alt, that's for sure

Won't happen. A playable species has to speak basic. No one wants to see lines of text for their toon all the way through the game while their speech is always "GRAAWWRRR" or "Em Teedee!" constantly.

Torgruta is my first choice for a new species.
