A nice bit of lore.

Now I bet there will be a few people (like me) clamoring to play as the Kodan.

Yes, I'm still alive, but without internet -- personal internet. I'm answering with my dad's computer. His internet and video card are not worthwhile for GW.

Hoping to get a grant for college, if not it's back to finding work. I refuse to get a loan without knowing whether I'll ever be able to pay it back.

Glad yer ok dude. And yes people are clamoring to play as the Kodan on the gw2guru forums.

They're probably the same people that wanted to play as Charr in Guild Wars 1. They'll probably have to wait 5-10 years to play as a Kodan.

I forgot about this interview, but I don't know if they are talking about GW2 or an expansion.

From: old GW2 interview (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/the-best-things-in-life-are-free-interview?page=2)

Eurogamer: Guild Wars only featured one race, the humans, and steadily added more playable classes to the original line-up. What sort of choice will we have in Guild Wars 2?

Erik Flannum: Right now we've got five races announced, and we're not saying exactly how many, but that's not the total amount that we'll have, we're going to have more in the future.

We want races to really have a pretty big impact on the way characters play. For example, the Norns, who are the big, burly, half-giant Viking guys from up in the North, all have the ability to shape-shift into a were-bear form; giving them more health and making them stronger, that sort of thing.

So a Norn warrior is going to have this were-bear ability, while a Human warrior will have a completely different ability just as significant - though we're still throwing around exactly what it will be.

So people who like playing as warriors are going to get a lot of variety out of choosing whether they want to be a Norn, an Asura, or Human warrior - as those are all going to feel very different.

Me: Remember when the guys at GW2 saw the art of sailboats on an iceberg and couldn't resist putting them in the game somewhere? I just don't see them adding that art without putting in the Kodan as a playable race.

Most likely a future expansion or DLC.
