The races don't make any difference from a stats point of view. However they do in terms of no of active players, and general alignment with a faction.
I think that in order of no of players with most first it is something like Matis, Fyros, Tryker, then Zorai.
If you want to role play then you best do some reading about the backgrounds to the races to find the one you will fit with best.
I have found that Tryker is the eaiest race to start with as you have lots of water to run off into if you start getting into trouble. Having said that I dont think it is that big a deal.
Everyone agrees that getting off the start isle early on and moving to the mainland is a good idea. Two reasons really. More people about to ask for help/advice/team with. Second reason that I have is that it stops you getting into what on the mainland would be bad habits as the creatures behave differently.
As to what packs to pick as a starter then magic, harvest, craft is a popular one. Most folks say dont pick a fighter pack as you can easily learn that from nothing. There have been various postings in the beginners guide section covering this so have a bit of a browse through those. Most end up also pointing out that you cannot really make a broken character as whatever you start with you can move off in a totally different direction without a serious problem. Later on when you look back the choice of start packs will be a small thing compared to all the other choices of what to spend your hard earned skill points on.
Theres nothing really to stop you making several characters of different races and seeing how quickly you can find others to join up with.
