Again, not official, but apparently shown in videos and it will be officially announced on Wed.


I'm personally still hoping it's Wurgen. Dreani would only be able to be warriors/rogues/mages in my eyes. And being as big as Tauren will be stupid. Hope that is a mistake.

It's Eredar

Draeni due to the fact that every thread that brings it up is instantly taken down and the Eredar threads continue living.

i think Dranaei (sp?) would be pretty bad ass, i wouldn't hesitate to play one. Although whatever it is, i hope allianced doesn't get jewed out of racials, after hearing how bad ass the BE racials seem to sound.

If they are choosing Draenei they better not look like those mutant chimps in the Swamps or Blasted Lands. My favorite rumor on that was still the Mightcry Worgen, but at this rate I'm skeptical it'll happen.

They also have a large tail (maybe scaled) and what look like hooves.

doesn't sound like draenei to me, they look the same on outland as they do in wow

True, but I would't put it past Bliz to do a whole "story" on how they changed into what they will call their present forms. Besides the males look pretty fugly as it stands, the females may actually be worse. None of the Horde females were truly fugly, not in the sense of their over-tusked/toothed and hunchbacked male counterparts anyway.

all the alliance people who like alliance cuz they are pretty are gonna be crying. makes me want to roll one of these fugly chars just to run around stormwind harassing people on role play servers.

id like to see worgen as well, but given these guys explicitly talking as if they SAW the video already... dont bet on it. that description sounded like it was based on direct observation of the short e3 video.

Yeah I would have liked te Worgen as well. You can even see the Gilenas area to the west of Tirfisial Glades. It's a nice looking valley and yet it's unfinished.

Hell I also would have been happy about that half-orc/half-ogre hybrid. Those and the Worgen were the only two with reasonable background stories. What backgrond does the Draeneri have? "Oh, we're still here... Living..."

I'm going to make an Eredar and call him Archimonde!!!!

But lore wise, it doesn't make sense. Eredar are a large part of the Burning Legion, unless some faction escaped Sargeras and made it to Azeroth...

reading the wowkiki idk how they are going to make it work

They sound like a bunch of demonic warlocks who revel in dark magic. Exactly what the alliance hates (ie, blood elves / high elves breaking off)

Sir Lucius

The whisps the killed archomonde inherited his form.

Rouailtagh

Yeah there is little to no leeway to make that work. Eredar are one half of the Burning Legion, locked up because they corrupt and mutate worlds they find and love killing/torturing things.

It's got to be something other than them, even a faction breakaway won't work.

Some people are still claiming that is untainted Draenai.
