Based on how most MMOs balance things, I fear they'll take away the severity of the racial bonuses (so instead of 25, it might be 15), if not take them away altogether. They have to be careful taking a game concept that was meant to single player and porting into the massive online world. It's distinctly possible that they'll leave them, but then they'll have to be careful with the class system they're using, as well. If my Dunmer starts with 25 Destruction and I pick a magic DPS class that adds another 10-15 points in Destruction, I am not severely overpowered compared to everyone else at my level for that class. There will be some fading of the defining lines, or at least there would almost have to be, in order to keep messages like this from appearing in chat all the time:

"Looking for Dunmer Mage and Altmer Healer, no exceptions, for XX dungeon/event."
