    So I was thinking it would be cool if we could choose different races, as in picking human, dwarf, elf, etc. and each of the races have a different perk to them, sorta like how the popular RPG Skyrim does

    Details: each race would have advantages that are unique to them allowing player to have different play styles and fun combinations for gameplay

    humans, superior melee fighters, what they don’t have in magic or craftsmanship, they make up for with superior combat (increased damage from regular attacking)

    Elves, attuned with magic, Elves have developed their art of magic for centuries, they can cast more spells frequently than other races (mana regeneration is higher by default)

    Dwarves, known for their skill at metal working and mining, dwarves are highly respected for their work creating weapons and armor of the highest quality, they’re also respected connoisseurs of ale. (gets better results when crafting gear and a chance of crafted gear durability not dropping at all when it could have)

    These are just the 3 I currently thought of, I’ll add more if I think of them that would also fit with Wynncraft.

    While I like the idea, my take is it'd have to be more so cosmetic and not have actual combat implications. Because the current system is already pretty crazy with tons of different factors (class, skills points, skill tree, builds) I just think it would be adding another factor that overcomplicates it. But from a lore perspective it could be interesting, and open the door to new areas and different origins for the player. Right now the player is just from Fruma but maybe that could change with what race you pick. Just spitballing.
    Overall nice idea but probably needs a different approach.

    yeah I ran this idea by some others and got similar responses, just figured I’d share the idea here and see how the general populace takes it

    Canonically the player comes from Fruma, the province where only humans reside. Other races (Dwarf for example) would need to come from other areas which don't fit as a tutorial area (Molten Heights, a Lv. 90 area) which would therefore mean that some areas would have to have specific mobs depending on your race. Overall, there would be too many changes that would have to be made for an overall minor change to combat.

    I mean various stories could be made with different races if we went with as Bio mentioned “the cosmetic route” like you were an elf/dwarf sailing and due to a storm or a monster from the corruption your ship was wrecked and you washed up on the shores of Wynn, you know stuff like that.

    That's actually quite a neat idea, although it would require quite some work for multiple quests where the player being a human is a "plot point"

    Absolutely not.
    ________________________________
    Part of the story, especially with Fruma, is that you are a human. You would not be able to access Fruma as anything but a human if this existed.
    You already have classes, and you already have archetypes. Making it so you have to min max your "race" to be optimal is a little bit gross (and is my main critique with D&D).

    I don’t think that various “races” would fit into Wynncraft, but I think the concept of permanent, passive buffs that you can choose is a good one. Maybe, when choosing a class, you can pick from some extra stats, possibly based on the elements? For example, one could choose an air-related buff and gain bonus sprint regeneration/walk speed, while another could choose water and gain mana regen. Or, instead of stat bonuses, it could just be a small bonus to any chosen skill point.

    races are cool, but it would just not work for wynn giving how much of the content revolves around you being a human. not to mention other games that use the system have a unique character system, while minecraft only has your one account with your one skin
    besides, with 5 classes, 5 elements, a skill tree, and an absurd amount of items and playstyles, we're not in desperate need for more new things
