Yes. This can be implimented. New animations would be awesome but not necessary if Jagex took an easy route.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me use elves (real elves, like D&D or Tolkein's elves) as an example to show how easy (for a decent programmer/graphic artist) it would be to take the current model and turn it into an elf. One, put ears on the head, without changing anything else. Two, stretch the height of the model by 10% (so the model is now 110% the height of the model now known as "human") and compress the width of it by 10% also. We now have a taller, leaner model with pointy ears (the ears would be most noticable in speech windows with NPCs).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please excuse the poor quality, this is just a cheap Photoshopping of my character with no equipment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The same could be done with making dwarven characters (60-70% height, 110-120% width) or whatever your heart desires. Additions like tails or other ears can just be "pasted" on the normal model (tails would appear even when armour is equipped, ears would not) and voila!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This, however, is just my little idea of how adding "races" could work, don't take this as the only way it could come to pass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

whilst i agree, and i know eves should be taller ( a few inches, cuz tolkien elves arent much more than 6 feet) i dont think they should have to be made skinnier, i mean, when the character is strenched 110% or so, it will already give the illusion that they are more slender, but if they must make them more slender, i suggest maybe 3%, not 10%

Well it wouldn't be hell hound, but maybe a dog, cat, and dragon like creatures. All though to add the races their have to be quest intorducing the new races into runescape. Thats why it might only be prtaical to add orger, goblin, elf, and dwarf to the game.
