This was an absolute kick in the... stomach... for me, back when they said it. I really truly dislike playing humans/elfs/gnomes/dwarfs. So suwari were the only remotely likeable race for me. I don't know what I'll be doing now, and seeing as how I usually like to get my characters lvl capped and really well geared (wyr'd?) before I start a new one, I don't know what I'll do in HJ. I have to play, thats a given, but I just really REALLY dislike (read: hate) all the boring "fluff" classes. That's probably one of the main things I liked most about WoW: Killing gnomes/dwarfs/elfs/humans.
So it really is a sort of conundrum for me. I think I'll have to be a human, because plain-jane is better than fluffy... but do I just sort of screw around, waiting for suwari? What if they're not out for 4-6 months? Or do I play my human like I normally play my characters, while all along hating/resenting/screaming at/berating/degrading him, and then when suwari come out... wait until the stupid human is maxxed/geared, then start the suwari?
I think I know the answer, when I'm honest with myself. Because I'll be coming over to HJ with 10 or more friends. I certainly won't want to quit in the middle, and start over as a lowbie. That would slow them down, too. Ingame features or not, it's still going to be better with same-levelled characters rather than not. And I certainly don't want to make them suffer for my unusually strong dislike for the "core" felgercarb races.
