Q: Are there any plans for (racial) experiences, whether in the early game or the later game?
A: This was actually one of the big goals of the character changes: Greater distinction in the game's various races. People who haven't started a new character since might not even know about it.
Each village now has a quest line that describes your race, a little bit about its history, and how the race sees itself in the new world of Norrath. For instance, if you're a Barbarian from Freeport, you'd need to prove you can be intimidating by defeating someone else in a screaming match. If you're a Wood Elf from Qeynos, you're taught to be respectful of nature and pay homage to a fallen Elven hero.
Completing these racial quests provides the player with a new, powerful item unique to his/her race.
