Since the races and classes look to be somewhat similar to the race/class combos from EQ, do you know what you want to make as your main?
I am going Gnome Warrior all the way. It's what I played in EQ so that is what I am going to play now.
Gnome wizard and then a whole pile of alts lol.
I actually have no idea at this point. I'll wait to see what I like when I get to character creation. It probably won't be a tank and it probably won't be a rogue. But, I dunno, maybe it will be, if they tickle my fancy at that moment...
As far as race goes, I have even less of an idea. It will probably depend on what class I choose. Or, what catches my eye.
Character creation usually takes me a long time...
I've never been one for planning my main before hand. I pick a class and race and if I like it, I stick with it. If I don't, I roll again. Eventually I always find myself. :)
Short answer - No. There are certainly some classes that I naturally gravitate too based on preference and play style but even that leaves a handful of classes for me to sort through.
I believe I made mention of this in another post but I generally have two characters which could be both classified as my "main." The first one I select based on a need in my play group, which consists of my brothers and my fiance. That toon is less about preference and more about filling a role based on the classes they select. I always chose my class last in that play group because ultimately I want them to have a good time so I try to select the best class to complement their choices (this often results in me playing a tank, but not always). I also don't want my decision to sway or deter them from playing a certain class.
The second class I roll at launch is the toon that I focus on in the times in which we can't all get together and play, which sadly is too often. This second class generally becomes my true main due to the amount of time I spend playing it in comparison. If I had to just blindly make a guess I would say my play group toon would be something like Troll Dread Lord and my "solo" class would be somewhere in the realm of Dark Myr Shaman or Gnome Enchanter...errrrr something like that ;)
Again, this is all subject to change as we get more information regarding classes and game mechanics. In fact, I hope it does change and I'm blown away by a particular class. Right now I just have too little information and I'm essentially making assumptions like I'm on the Everquest character creation screen. I'm really looking forward to the new update!
I don't know enough about the classes and races yet to be sure but there is a very good chance I will be a Gnome Enchanter. The race might change once I know more about the choices. That said I will likely have multiple personalities just like I do in any of the great mmo's.
LOL! I wish! I am terrible at making that decision! All I know for sure is that it'll be a smaller race. Don't like the big ones. :) But I'm sure it'll change from day to day right up to launch. Most likely a gnome something.... probably start with cc... hmmm maybe I do know! :)
Since we are not sure or clear on Race class restrictions no one can really be sure
If possible I would love an Archai Cleric or a Skar summoner
Maybe a halfling rogue, depending on how they do the rogue class..if its just a backstabby dps class I will pass but if they are somehow able to put a new spin on the class I would love to play the stealthy type toon
Hard to say right now. I had the most fun in EQ on my WoodElf Ranger, but have since switched to healing classes in other mmo's.
I'm sure I'll make an Elf Ranger though, but may also make a Cleric/Shaman. Will really have to see once more class info is out (abilities etc) and if any of my rl friends / family decide to play and what they are playing.

Has it been stated definitively as to whether or not races will be restricted to specific classes?
Originally during the kickstarter they listed which class could be played by which race. Some of the races and classes have changed but I bet the idea is hasn't.
