Kobold - it means something in DDO and plays into the lore.
What race do you want to see next?

It is the mandate of the masses that kobold shall be the next playable race, haters be damned and revelers rejoice!

I don't know how much clearer we can be, those of us who want playable kobolds in DDO aren't 'trolling', we just want some genuine whimsy. There's already so many ways to have a power-fantasy avatar in the game, but the selection of funny little guys is just halfling or gnome. Kobolds have been in Eberron, they were in Stormreach before anyone else, they've got tenure, history, and a whole lot of yarking charm. The voice lines are iconic, infinitely stimmable, and those of us who value whimsy over aura are just as valid as every player who makes their surname "the Indestructible" or "Emperor of All".
Regardless of how this vote shakes out, it has proven that the desire to play as a kobold isn't a fringe concept.

Just because you are loud, doesn't mean you are many. I wouldn't put the kobold fans to more than 1% of the player base and I'm being very very generous.

The people who know to ask present an option that 99% of players didn't realize was on the table, and 100% can enjoy the fruits of the genuine labors of a few.
That sounds pretty radical to me

But but but... it's fiscally irresponsible!
Species I'd like to see:
Kobold--because we all love our kobolds. Kobolds never forget!!!
Goblin and hobgoblin--because they're very appropriate for Eberron lore.
Orc--I want to play green muscle girl. Also, the silver flame orc paladins from the demon wastes in tabletop are metal AF.
Kalashtar--would be great for a Riedra-focused expansion.
Genasi--for a Forgotten Realms themed expansion. Might be a little difficult to do them all as one species, but would be cool.
More niche ideas:
Kender and draconians--for a Dragonlance expansion.
Thri-kreen--for a Dark Sun expansion, though animating them seems like it would be a PITA and the four armed bit would inevitably make someone whine.
Changeling--would be cool, but making the cosmetics of it work would be a PITA.
Small warforged options--IDK how many people would go for it.

Warforged badly needs a rework.
-Scout and Juggernaut frames
-"Body" feats moved to a Purple (Selected at Character Creation) free feat and add a Medium Armor option
-Fix the MDB on Body feats, especially Mithril Body, if nothing else, MDB should go up by 1 every 5 levels, but they really need to be retuned to keep pace with the average named armor template for an item of their level, or MDB needs to be on the Docent along with the modified AC by body type.

But D&D Orcs are grey?
Eh, muscle girls either way, I'm happy

Muscle girls are appealing, but how would full Orcs differ from Half-Orcs? Just different stats, or would they look different, too? I know that Half-Orcs could definitely use an appearance update.

How would ladders work? XP
