I noted almost the same exact thing when I looked at the new designs: most of them are borrowed from other races. It's still a very nifty feature and one that's been long due in the game. I mean, this was a very basic feature in Ultima Online!

What I'd really love to see is more customization with our characters' appearances. I understand that the idea if to minimize the amount of load time by having a select group of possibilities to load, but it really would be nice to have something other than an overly burly male or well-endowed anorexic female!
