Races

This has been brought up and a few of us would like to figure it out.

Quoted from http://hem.bredband.net/mongobash/DF-FAQ/citiesfaq.htm which is a stickied faq in the DF forums.

What does ARAC mean?
All RACes guild


What kind of guilds are there?
ARAC guilds and "All members of the same race guilds", ARAC guilds cannot build cities.

Where can I build a city?
Quote: Quote (Tasos): you can't build a city anywhere. There are designated areas where you can build cities. There will be neutral cities already built that are controlled by npcs, and a clan can claim them. There might also be places you can build from scratch, but that isn't decided yet.

Much interest has been placed regarding "our" city but as this reads as if we can only be one race if we wish to build. If this is the case what race will we be.

The other choice put forth was having 'divisions' in other races who are friendly towards each other for trading and cooperation. Allowing people to play other races.

Also from what I gather from the forums is there is possibly going to be only one server (Like AO did for sometime) meaning that we will only be able to play one race in the game totally.
