    Hopefully we will someday get the Maormer with a water system overhaul.

    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/147216/water-overhaul-suggestion

    There are many races that could be added. but I really wouldn't expect a new race to be introduced in ESO for at LEAST a couple years. I think we will see the 5th anniversary of ESO before we see another race for ESO. 10 is a pretty big selection as is.

    OH! And I'd prefer to see a more "proper" implementation of both the Khajiit and Argonian races. http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/155307/monetization-of-character-creation-concept

    Really? Ten races isn't enough? Besides, there aren't any other races that wouldn't be (heavily) lore-breaking.

    huh lore breaking? maormer are part of the lore.. this is not dnd where ruleset clearly state which race belong to the pc set, which belong to the monster set.

    plus they are going to sale something anywayz, i would rather have new race/class for sale then game content. it is a mmo and the most important thing about it is able to play with others. dlc content will separate player base, after all we can't expect every player to buy dlc. but if dlc is all about additional cosmetic/race/class they will earn the cash while not separate player base at all. imo a win win situation.

    Suddenly having hundreds of Maormer running around all of Tamriel is NOT in lore, however.

    how so? which lore clearly state that there are very few maormer running around all of tamriel?? in game we fight plenty of them, they even have embassy with the khaijit~~ as a part of AD main quest line.. they are mostly pirate and have dealing with every race.. i don't see anything lore breaking about it.

    They're mostly known for raiding the Summerset Isles, not roaming in hundreds all over Tamriel. They belong as an NPC race, nothing more.

    Do you know about elder scroll Arena? if you play it you should know that the first game does not have orc nor imperial as playable race.

    also, we already have cross faction start. if a dark elf can be a part of dominion why can't a maormer? The sea elf are priate, true, they reside around summerset isle.. also true, but like all other race. can you really say that all breton are staying in high rock? or maybe convince me that all red guard stay in daggerfall? because i have seen both as quest npc in AD zone

    No more than only having ONE type of Khajiit. and it's not even the right type of khajiit! According to lore the most common Khajiit outside of Elsweyr is the Ohmes... we're all playing Cathay.

    So... yea.

    Yeah, I could see the Maomer as a playable race down the line. Sure it's not completely cannon, but since this is a "lost time" in history, who is to say that Maomer weren't trying to explore and trying to identify the weak spots in the alliances in order to gain an advantage. A war between the three factions would probably leave the navies of these alliances pretty weak, allowing for Maomer expansion to more areas than just the Summerset islands.

    I'd also love to see more types of Khajiit and maybe other sub-races that we see in game already. Ashlanders as a slightly different Dunmer, the exiled Redguards like those in Morwha's Bounty in Alik'r, or even different types of orcs (like the Green Orcs of Valenwood, or outpost orcs versus those from Orsinium.

    Well they were always attacking the altmer Shores. It could be part of a seige story line.

    I have to agree with AngryNord. The only interaction that the Maormer have with Tamriel is invading it. You can't have one of them becoming the champion of DC/AD/EP; sure, there may be dissenters, but not that many.

    eso take place in the second era, we don't have much info on the 2nd era. as of fourth era they are allied with the second dominion. this does not disrupt any of the lore, most of the setting for 2nd era are still void.. as all elder scroll game take place in third era.. well... except skyrim.

    p.s. also we already have them as npc.. so if we see them around in the world why can't we play as one??

    10 racial choices is enough, especially since they aren't completely restricted to alliance.

    I should also note, if the only support for an idea that conflicts with the other games comes from "but it's the second era! " then it's cheesy, pain and simple.

    Second Dominion is Second Era (2E 830), and the supposed Maormer alliance is only referenced in Imperial propaganda. There's no mention of them in Fourth Era Dominion info.

    We have them as NPCs exclusively as an enemy faction. Playing as one would only work if they implemented an entire new storyline in which you play as Maormer invading Tamriel. Which, history shows, always fails.

    right i mess up, it was second not third~~

    you can't claim that entire race to be "evil" or "bad", even daedra prince are capable of good, why make all maormer evil?? every race consist of good and evil... just like in skyrim we have one(two?) normal felmer who have not been corrupt by the poison, and of them still follow the way of the eight divine.

    Also if you talk about other games, i should point out that amongest all the elder scroll game. only morrowind, oblivion and skyrim allow you to play imperial and orc. in Arena and Daggerfall there is no playable imperial or orc.
