While Conan won't have more than 3 races at launch, and they are all Human, what race do you wish to play? My first character will likely be a Stygian. Mmm, snakes. But I guess no snakeskin boots for those guys!

Cimmerian here. I would love for more "Races" to be possible, but it's scarcely a deal breaker. The devs said that there are already a few expansions in planing, so I'm hoping :D
What race would you want, if you had the choice?

Aquilonian.

My family tree goes back to medieval Greece, Rome, and Malta, so I guess I'd like to play a character with a similar background. But of course this will only be for my first character, an Aquilonian Soldier/Guardian and follower of Mitra!

By Mitra, indeed! :P

Cimmerian By Crom!!!
If I had the choice, tho, I would choose Pict.

Conan laughed with genuine enjoyment.

Why Pict?

They are cool super barbarians - stealthy and stout. Iranistanians, Kushits, Bossonians... Many nations that I'd want :(
Oh well, wait for expansions:D (ah...and the game of course)

I think a variety of playable races would be good, but at the same time there should be some races that remain unplayable, NPCs. But we'll see what expansions have to offer first. ;)

Why Pict?

O.K., Here goes....
I am of direct decent of the McDonalds of Clan Ranald(The Lords of The Isles,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_Isles ), a Western Highlands clan (Norse Gaelic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic-Norse ) as well as the Arkleys, another Norse/Gaelic clan, but located on the East coast of Scotland, via my Grandmother. Therefore, many of my fore-fathers and for-mothers, were undoubtedly Pictish (historic ones). (..and yes, Robert E. Howard thought they deserved better, as do I...) Also...."They are cool super barbarians - stealthy and stout.", just like me, By Crom!!!!
....never mind the rest of my family tree which consists of Welsh/Cornish, Irish, English and Spanish elements, which if u mix em all together, reduce the level of sophistication, and increase their hard-ass-ness, then that makes a Pict of Howardian proportions, (in my opinion) By Crom!!!!!!!!

There is only 1 choice for me and it has to be a Cimmerian they are known for there Strength and Ferocity.

Well let me know if there's anything I can help you with in your decision. I usually tell people to join the forums first and allow our personalities to grow on you. We are pretty light hearted despite the evil RP that we carry in our hearts. ;)

Good luck in your research, again, if you need any questions answered, please let me know. Im here to answer them

Stygian. Strictly not a Set follower, though. My soul belongs to Xotli.

Pffft. Bathing started helping against germs only in the beginning of the 18 century, and..Ya, buggering snakes is just..wrong man.

I'm also leaning toward Stygian. I usually try to mix things up in every MMO I play, taking on a different main class or a different bent as far as the lore allows. The Stygian look and mysticism is appealing, and I'm almost sure I don't want to tank this time, so the lack of soldiers doesn't bother me too much.

If I was ever going to make a Stygian, it would have to be an Assassin.

I figured Stygian because I want to be a Herald of Xotli, but maybe this doesn't make sense since Stygians are Set fanatics? Would Aquilonians be able to become Heralds?

Hmmmm...(yes, get ready to be baited..).....If I created a Cimmerian or Aquilonian called Snake,with an eye patch, duel wielding who wore black leather...would u call him Plissken if he said u could?

Aquilonian.

Going for a roman like ranger ;) seem to be more agile than the cimmerian and stronger than the stygian race so i'll go with Aquilonian.

You don't actually have a choice haha. Only Cimmerians can be Barbarians.
