I played a half elf, though that started in 3.0 and got updated to 3.5 when that came out. I played a few humans in some sort lived campaigns, and am currently playing a Dwarf and a Human in the games I am in.
I dislike the smalls and the halves. And I have not played an elf yet in 3e. So human and dwarves from core, though full orcs, luminous (from mythic races) and jungle troll (from warcraft manual of monsters) have been played as well as a PC.
