Shapeshifting and/or unique race MMO?

So the search feature refuses to work for me, and I don't recall it ever working...Or perhaps it hates me.

I feel as though the MMOs lately have had fairly boring races. Giant humans, small humans, pretty humans, humans with ears/tails and so on. In the end it still feels kinda- boring I suppose. I really wish MMOs would offer more unique styled races instead of these variations of human type characters. Charr were really interesting to me, except Anet was so lazy with their caster gear I ended up rerolling (And quitting because I hated the classes anyway). Nothing screams fierce, tribal race like ruffles and buttons!

As for classes it feels like they're starting to blend together with each new MMO. Nothing really pulls me in. Got your Tank, Mage, Healer, DPS, which is all well and good but nothing is really unique anymore. On top of that it's like they hate me and want to remove my favorite role of supporting. I loved WoW Druids and EQ1&2 Druids, but I can't seem to find any other game with classes like these. EQ was my first MMO and then WoW came after, and I've always loved and missed my Druids. I no longer play either game, been searching awhile for a replacement game. 

So with that, can anyone suggest a game, present or future that might have what I'm looking for? Shifter class or beastial race? 

I'm probably just better off running around in the woods, right?

    I found two with beast races or emphasis on beast shapeshifting.  Earth Eternal and HolyBeast Online.  Both were closed down.

     

    I'll poke around and see if I can find any others.

    New games:

    Ragnarok Online 2 has a shapeshifting class called the Beastmaster.

    Guild Wars 2 lets you shapeshift into 4 were animals as a Norn character.

    Old games:

    EQ2 druids and shaman get a shapeshift ability. Not really part of how the class works, its just an illusion attached to a buff, but its a different form nonetheless.

    Vanguard shaman and druid get shapeshifts.

    Shadowbane has druids who shapeshift.

    DDO has druids that shapeshift.

    Horizons lets you play as a Dragon

    Runescape lets you shapeshift later on

    Thanks for the replies!

    I saw DDO, guess I will trial that one before I cough up the $50 just to get their Druid(and more if I want to level)  =( 

    Didn't know about RO2, that was a neat find! Thanks for that. A lot of these others have been shut down sadly.
