@shinboy630: Yes, as you get out of the initial tutorial area, you start to see a lot of other races mixing into other's homeland. I played as a Norn Ranger for the majority of the time I spent in the PvE aspect of the game, and as I ventured further north I started completing some dynamic events with the Lionguard, which featured a few Sylvari fellows. They are extremely colourful and their colours really pop against the snow as you would expect. As you venture into higher level areas you start to see them abandoning their leafy garments and start wearing normal plate/leather armour like the rest of the races but, with their own colourful flare added to it. I'm still planning to use the Sylvari race for my first character. The next beta event date rumour is set for the 20th of April and I would be very surprised if they do not add the last two races in that release, as I played around as a high-level Sylvari at gamescom 2011 (August).
@Doctorchimp: No problem, I've been waiting for this game since it was announced all of those years ago and am happy to help fans of the game out. I played a large chunk of a Norn Ranger, in PvE there would be specific 'heart quests' that either involve protecting an altar to a animal spirit or helping out those particular animals in the area. I only found one quest where I actually transformed into Snow Leopard but, I would return to my normal form if I left the specified area. Bear, Snow Leopard, Raven and Wolf forms are all elite skills that are in the game, and you pick your spirit that guides you in the character creation, so I'm guessing that you will either have the chance to become all of them at will or at least the one you picked at the character creator screen. All forms were unlocked for PvP but, I could not equip them to my bar for some reason.
I've recorded most of the available Norn personal story, and will probably be releasing them over the next few weeks as I finish editing them.
