unfortunately, it will not be possible to play skaven at release as far as I know.

There will be 6 playable races:

empire
high elves
dwarves
chaos
Orcs&goblins
dark elves

You can play a squig herder :) wich is pretty cool I think.

i'm happy about the races playable, the characters released thus far seem pretty good and i'm interested in playing.

the best thing about the game though so far is the end of the trailer. through out it shows battles between the rivalling nations featured in the game. so high elves vs dark elves, orcs vs dwarves and chaos vs empire.

the first two fights are even and no-one is seen to be winning, however i love the way that the warrior preist is so brutally smashed up by the chaos guy. i mean i think warrior preists are pretty cool, but that trailer makes chaos seem so much cooler! lol, i recomend you all to watch that trailer even if you don't care about the game lol.

and it'll be just like WoW, next couple races with a new realm are meant to be in an expansion. from what i've heard the next two races will be lizardmen and skaven. i could be wrong, obviously at this stage its still all just rumours.

I might play as a Dark Elf, although I think I'll wait until they release the Skaven End of the World Expansion pack.

Back to retirement!

If its anything like World of Warcraft then Im going to refuse to play. That kind of addictive game is the last thing I need in my life right now. And I think Warhammer should stay on the tabletop, thats what its all about!

cant really say anything about the game till you actually play it, I didnt think so when WoW came out and that game turned out to be horrible! I just hope this game does ok and doenst require 40 people to gear up and advance through the game :/ I think ill be playing orcs till they release skaven, then its assassin time :pmaster:

Oh God the nightmares! That game was brutal *shudders* I'd rather be treated like a skaven slave than to ever play that game again! Ok well maybe not to that extreme but the game was pretty bad. Well I'll be honest I like the game *shudders* until I hit level 11 then it went downhill.

Honestly though, I wonder why they didn't put in more Warhammer specific races. I mean, almost everything out there has got Elves and Dwarfs, not to mention evil Elves of some description. Things like Skaven and Beastmen are considerably more unique, so their exclusion makes me really wonder if this won't just be another generic MMO with Warhammer skins thrown on.

Its a good start though (cept for the elves although I like High elves theirs just too many elves in games) what would be kool though if they added a Dogs of war type to the game where you can become a mixed race army and can fight for either side.

I think from a marketing stand point they would want to target their largest audience first, which would be those races. Then maybe after a while they come out with an expansion with some other races.
I think it'll have a little somthing different to offer than the normal MMO, just looking at the abilities that the races have it seems the big thing in that game is see how long you can push a battle on for before you gotta kill the other guy...

I think if they make an expansion for it skaven and lizardmen would probably be next, their both pretty popular with the audience.
