The race selection I'm proposing is not one where it changes your player model. Instead, this would influence trade by giving each race its own abilities to farm. For example, only Hobbits could farm Pipeweed, so if a player wants pipeweed, trade with a hobbit player. That's just an example. I think it would really add an interesting aspect in which players actually rely on trade, just like humans have always relied on trade.
