So here's a quick question. Suppose you're going to play a fantasy MMO -- what races would you want to see?

The only requirement is that it needs to be somewhat balanced... as there really shouldn't be one race that is far OP over the other ones.

Short statured Race - Small but tough
Underwater race - thrive underwater, low constitution and shortness of breath on land

Cursed Races- both subject to losing control
werewolf - weak according to the moon,
Vampires. - *no "true ancestors", weak/strong according to time of day/night and/or fuel

Beastmen race - physically strong, magically inapt
Magical race (elves?) - magically advance, glass cannons

Robot Race - no growth no heal no regen, parts and life based on items upgradable parts
Human - normies, no advance no disadvantage

Tree people - regen in sun and earth no need for food, dies in the dark
Medusa - wear sunglasses all the time, needs to feed hair always, can't look it a mirror, needs help with make
Minotaur - Moooo

I like the short race with low physical attributes, but a decent agility and high magical aptitude. Especially the ones that are super cute and makes you wanna hug them all day everyday~

Can be a halfling or any other custom race you come up with~

So balance is really important to me, so I wonder if is it a bad move to disable all the species perks by default?

As compensation, I'm thinking of allowing people to pick one (weak / lvl 1) skill at character creation -- so if you wanted to play a shifter, then shifting to a cat could be your starting skill. Alternatively, if you wanted to play harpy, you could spend the starting skill on flying. As compensation, the human player would be able to pick any kind of (weak / lvl 1) skill... like fire magic?

Viera. Highest speed and good int growth compared to others, lower HP, end and str growth...

Besides, bunny ears are cute.
