Well, people may play human type to feel like THEY’RE IN the fantasy world, so they want a character similar to them so they can imagine how it would be if they were living that world of fantasy.

I just happened to stumble upon this page while browsing. While it’s quite refreshing to see a female perspective on these things, you should get your lore facts straight, if you do not want to be labeled as a blond bimbo.

Humans are not the “classic good race” and orcs are not the “classic bad race”. While this can be easily applied to most fantasy games, wow is the one game, where everything is upside down (and we love it). In fact, if I had to label any race as “bad”, forsaken would be first on the list, with humans right behind them.

You also claim blood elves were exiled from alliance for “being power hungry and using magic”. While these 2 characteristics are true, they were not exiled for them. They were used as cannon meat by racist and arrogant humans. They were offered an alternative and they took it.

@Mimi: “Why play a human when you’re already a human in real life?” Couldn’t agree more. Why would anyone even bother to play a fantasy game, if they always pick humans? Imo such people should stick with second life.

It’s refreshing to see a different point of view on things. I’m ally at heart, My main is a Boomkin. I also have a hunter, Shammy, Priest and Warlock… all of which, except the ‘lock who is a gnome, are draenei. I have also rolled a few scrub undead alts. I gotta say though, I’m unsure about what you’re saying when you say the undead are ugly. cute button face + that raggedy short hair thing = instawin. Plus they’re flirting lines and jokes are so hilarious. I guess that’s my kinda humor though. xD All a matter of preference, I know. when I play world of warcraft I play anything but a belf and human, just because they’re too close to what I am in real life… The way I see it is: Why play a human when you’re already a human in real life?

Oh druids….I just can’t play one. I’ve made many and just can’t do it. Don’t think I’ve gotten one past 10, LOL! Maybe I as well will be able to finally play a druid as a troll. Not sure what it is about them so who knows.

I’m really into the alts too. I’ve got one level 80 mage and then 6 more alts on the server I’m currently playing on. I really want to try a druid but I also really don’t want to be a tauren so I’m really excited for the new expansion pack when I’ll be able to make a troll druid.

I started playing WoW to play with my brother and husband. I was really drawn to the horde but I tend to be anti-social even in games so I played what my brother had, alliance. I’ve played horde on and off since then, usually characters that never get to or close to 20, I have alt-itis if you were wondering. I like all races except Taurens, I just really can’t get into them, not humanoid enough for me. Undead and Trolls would have to be my fav horde.

I don’t mind gnomes but actually playing them is difficult for me especially if I’ve been playing a taller race, they are just so damn small and I feel like a gnome would in real life, always having to look/pan up to see things. My main is a dwarf and I think the fact that I am only 5 feet tall helped me really identify with my character and is probably the reason why she’s the only one I’ve gotten to 80 and past 40 for that matter.

Eh well alright, but one thing do you play both sides, cause I’ve never liked that, People who play both, then theres no loyalty. One day you can be a Tauren owning Humans and stomping mudhols in gnomes, then the next day your a dwarf, hacking at a Tauren. I’m not gonna try to explain it all in details, but it just seems wrong, I could never bring myself to make an Alliance char and attack The Horde. It’d be like if you befriended someone to go against there enemies, then the next thing, your attackign them and on that enemies side, ya know. I honestly Frown ap9on people who play both sides.

after i lost my hair from my chemotherapy i actually started an undead warrior alt. i felt like they had the hair styles most similar to my patchy short spikiness and the blood elves pretty hair made me a bit too sad (but then i turned on show helms to cover their hair and they were okay again too)

Ok I agree with alot of that but I love the taurens, The female taurens are pretty, and the males loke mean, Also, my wife has a few Undead females, that actually have a very pretty face. I accept them very much. and trust me there was alot of coaxing to get me to play with her undead char. I finaly had to get past the whole bones showing in the arms and legs, and look at her face. which is actually beautifull, despite bluishgrey skintone. Though now I look her over entirely and think she is sexy. Kinda similar to how DK’s became my favorrite class, though thats a whole ‘nother story. . . FOR THE HORDE!
