And really, when it comes right down to it, they already got that audience with the current races. The Au Ra are not covering any niche that was not already covered, with the possible (and only) exception of Au Ra males with their wild and crazy hairdos... a trait that, sadly, the females do not share. If anything, they're just going to end up cannibalizing a lot of the players of the existing races, but the actual player base will not increase sizably as a result of that versus the new classes or new gameplay options. But that's just my idle speculation and suspicion, and nothing more.
The most annoying thing is that a lot of the options - especially the face options - are extraneous and could easily have been applied to any existing race. The baby face options in particular could have been thrown on Miqo'te and they would have fit in handily. It's really sad that it takes an entirely new race just to get some of those options in there.
