No. There is 10 races and they gave each faction 3 races. That ment one was left over. since we are all suppose to be fighting to be the new emperor they left the imperials out of the factions. They however announced if you got the delux edition of the game you will be allowed to play imperial character. Playing any particular race won't affect your subscription cost. Whatever race you play you'll have a relatively similar experiance, only variation will probably be dependant on your faction and class. Only thing that will probably chance due to race is dialog for your quests. If being an imperial is that important to you then just pay the extra $20. Its not much and if you can't afford it then you shouldn't be wasting time with mmo's.
