Hello!!!
I'm just downloading the game and am so excited I think I might wet my self. 
I could do with a little bit more info before I start playing though.
1. What are the difference in the races? (Do they have different stats etc..)
2. What should I expect.... I'm scared.... 
hehe
3. What do you think is the best race, and do I have to choose a class when I start? (I'm thinking I don't due to the skill system.)
4. OMG It's just too much... I can't wait... Hurry up you stupid download 
Thanks

5. Do the skills go up the more you use them, or do I get character level ups and then points to distribute, or something liek that?
First of all welcome
1. What are the difference in the races? (Do they have different stats etc..)
Looks and landscape, no other real differences so far. Fyros and Zorai generally follow the Kami and Matis and Tryker the Karavan but this isnt strict. No race skills yet but they are planned I think. Matis start in forests, zorai jungle, tryker lakelands (nice environment although lots of swimming
), and fyros deserts.
2. What should I expect.... I'm scared....
hehe
You start in your races newbie island, follow the welcomer's instructions and you should be ok. Don't be worried if there arnt many there (do a /who to find out who is in the region) because its a newbie island and people dont stay long before heading to mainland. Although I have heard they are much more populated now
3. What do you think is the best race, and do I have to choose a class when I start? (I'm thinking I don't due to the skill system.)
No classes ingame, no penalties for concentrating on one skill tho. I do however strongly suggest picking magic 1, craft 1 and forage 1 as your starter packs. Fight is free to learn anyway. If you choose this combo you can learn anything instantly.
As for races it's your choice, fyros matis and tryker are most populated I hear, zorai the least.
4. OMG It's just too much... I can't wait... Hurry up you stupid download
hehe good luck
5. Do the skills go up the more you use them, or do I get character level ups and then points to distribute, or something liek that?
You get levels in the 4 main areas (after 21 the levels split into more trees till 51, then again at 101, 151, 201 and max level is 250 in all areas, giving around 10,000 levels), which give 10 skill points to spend on skills such as HP or Stamina or spells or any of your many skills. You can edit skills to and customise them as you please. There are better skills at higher levels too.

Cool, Thanks for the info
One more question regarding skills and skill points...
Is there a maximum amount of skill points I can distrubute etc? (Do I need to think about what skills I want to learn for later levels, should I save some points for later skills...?) Or can I literally learn EVERY skill to it's maximum potential?
scientology
