RACE vs RACE Servers...

Have asked this some other places, thought i would ask here as well...
Im not sure if this has already been discussed, answered, etc, however i thought i would bring it up.
Would it be possible (Lore considered) to have Race VS Race servers? (Or i suppose it would be Race vs Race vs Race vs Race etc). Each race only being allied with those of their own race (ex. Humans only group with Humans, Chaos with Chaos, etc). Of course there are the racial pairings set up, but groups of one race could travel to other racial pairings/lands.
As all the Races have a class in each archtype, i was thinking of how amazing it would be to run around in hordes of all Green Skins, or squads of Dwarves, etc.
But yes, would this be possible? Thoughts?

Yes that would be cool.
but i guess there would be a big imbalance between the factions, especially the dwarfs, not many likes them
But i would be happy if there was at least ONE FFA RvR server.
That would make no sense.. you would have to ignore all the lore. I am the first to disregard lore when it comes to gameplay but race vs race would be imbalanced, as most servers would simply be ruled by the most popular choice, which without a doubt would be elves both light and dark, followed by humans.
It would be pointless, something i would stay away from.

Actually I don't think it is so much a lore issue as it is an issue of practicality. With the way the game is set up there is no real way to support this idea without completely redesigning the zones. As for the lore side - meh. Humans have battled just about everyone, Dwarves and Elves have fought, Chaos kills anyone that happens to be in front of them. Orks are the same and Dark Elves hate anyone not, well, Dark Elf.
It could be possible if you cut down the size of the game world and restricted the whole server to, say, one region or particular city. It would work perfectly, but I don't think it'd be as cool as the idea they're developing with right now.
actual i think that some race vs race struggle should be in, because of the lore ! And i think at least on instance or festival instance could be like that. But if they make a Roleplaying server, i don't see it make sense without some Race vs Race struggle.
God I really hate the "Lore" argument if we cared about "lore" I would be reading a damn book. I want to play a fun game and let the fiction reader's enjoy the lore.
This is a Massive Multiplayer online game not a Massive Multiplayer story.
People who argue about breaking lore I feel really just dont want to consent to special servers because it takes time away from the developers dealing with their prefered game play servers.
I dont think the core game can or could be changed to allow that specialty of race v race.
Race vs Race servers would by synonymous with boredom, imo.
By the way, WAR is race vs race server... if you choose to play Human, then you can only battle against Chaos... you cannot ally with other Order races and you cannot battle against others Evil races.
Human VS Chaos only
Dwarfs VS Orcs only
H. Elves VS D. Elves only
These is no cross faction alliances or war.
So to simplify, for example : Server 1 is human VS Chaos, Server 2 is Dwarves VS Orcs, Server 3 is H. Elves VS D. Elves
I repeat, there is no cross faction battle or alliances. As a human, you cannot meet or travel to Drarf land or battle the Orcs. If you choose to play Human, you will only see humans and battle Chaos... and so on for each others races. The game will be separate into 3 different world. you cannot cross over to another.

From the official FAQ:
Q: How many realms will there be in WAR?
A: Short answer: we are launching with two realms, six armies, and three battlefronts. Each realm is comprised of a loose alliance of armies that have formed out of circumstance (see the game’s backstory for more details) – the Alliance of Order (Dwarfs, High Elves, and the Empire) and the Armies of Destruction (Greenskins, Dark Elves, and Chaos). Everything you do in WAR furthers the cause of your army and thus your realm.
Realm vs. Realm™ combat in WAR centers around the above armies and takes place on one of three fronts where ancient foes battle one another – Dwarfs vs. Greenskins, High Elf vs. Dark Elf, and Empire vs. Chaos humans. Players begin the game fighting their racial enemy, but are later free to journey to other battlefronts to help their allies in the larger struggle.
A particular dark elf, for example, can work with allies to invade the capital cities of the Empire, high elves, or the dwarfs. That same dark elf can choose instead to defend his own lands or those belonging to his Greenskin or Chaos "allies." Assuming his own interests don't incline him towards betrayal, of course.
And that is why you shouldn't base your opinion of a game on people that post about it.
You should go read some of the FAQs around in the web, mate.
When I read the title, I thought you meant like black people have to choose empire and the white people choose chaos.
Because racism is not cool.
I doubt they would have any race vs race server, at least for a while. After a while when the players get used to the game and end game RvR and PVE has been reached, then they will start adding specialty servers like Race WAr servers etc.
If it happens, will be a while after release.

Whatever your smoking, I need some. You can cross over all you want. At level one you can go to any of the realms to fight the war you want to go. Read to website, it may open your eyes.
