Never played DnD have you?

Every race has its unique abilities, humans are average stats but get extra abilities out of the gate, construct races can't bleed out, Thri-Kreen only sleep 4 hours and are fully aware while doing so. A similar (albeit less varied) concept can be applied to races in an MMO, some faunus have night vision, yes, but maybe humans are more resistant to damage, or gain experience slightly faster. It's a matter of balancing bonuses given to each race.
