Kobolds goblins orcs gnolls sarnak froglok and kerrans should have been playable before vashir, they already had there own hometowns.

Brownies, faeries, lizardmen would have been cool too

Brownies king of PVP and geometry exploitation with hitboxes the size of a loaf of bread

If you read The Silmarillion it's very heavily influenced by Theology.

I think these races and stories exist in every adolescent male virgin who has ever lived, and that is why they are timeless.

Think about it, Tolkien's inspiration for Gollum comes from long years spent in the deepest and darkest of basements, channeling innately subconscious notions of elves, faeries, and dragons.

The ring represents his virginity, a concept that engulfs him with obsession and slowly destroys his soul, until it is finally taken from him by a short-but-charming middle-aged man. I'm sure we can all relate.
