Why did you choose your Race?

I always liked dwarves (mainly after the model revamp), and after doing the Earthen quests, I realized that they are the race that represent me the most and I just like them.

I’m very much either human or blood elf, no other race really appeals to me.

29

On all RPGs I play always the same thing: human fighter/warrior. Or orc

My Paladin is a Lightforged Draenei DESPITE its race perks haha they are so bad, but I chose this race because I like the lore of being part of the Army of Light, also they just look so good as Paladins.

31

I pick my race exclusively for aesthetic reasons, for Alliance I like Human and KT, and for Horde Undead or ZT.

If I can play a class as Human or Undead I’ll do so, if not then the other two races cover all the other classes that aren’t available.

32

I’m very glad to see no max level DIDs on the Horde side in that chart. Meets my expectation of no true Horde wanting to play a re-skinned Alliance model.

As for why I chose BE, it is because I love playing DH and that is the only race I can play as. I actually dislike the BE race and would want to play as a Goblin. All of my alts, that I don’t play now, are Goblin.

I can’t put into words why it is I like Goblins so much but some of the things are:

  • They are small
  • I like their voice
  • I like their bank racial
  • I actually live my life by their motto of “Time is money”
  • They’re a little bonkers

Oh, and they’re Horde.

I’ll answer for my main, who’s human:

  • I like having options and humans have a good amount of customization.
  • I prefer the alliance towns to horde ones; other than that faction means very little to me.
  • I like the aesthetic of the female humans and in general armor looks okay on them.

But, there’s lots of races I like. So I have a lot of hunter alts in various races and with various themes. :blush:

The transmog i am wearing might be a clue.

Dwarf cuz I love strong booze and dad jokes.
Dark Iron specifically because they’re just cooler dwarves with stronger booze. Also, self-cleanse, mole machines and indoor speed% is unmatched racial trinity for solo andy like me.

38

Currently Night elves because transmog just looks amazing on them.

But ones dracthyr beccome usable as other classes, I’m rolling those because if I don’t have to switch forms ever, then they are basically slightly more dragonlike Tieflings nd I mess with that sooo hard, also this druid is turning into the new trolls if they become playable instantly.

This was a forsaken once. I became a forsaken cause i was 11 and an undead demon mage that curses people sounded like the coolest thing in the world

I kid you not:

I wanted to go from feral druid to mage because I didn’t like the direction they were taking feral druid and I had always liked mage anyway.

I had also just recently learned that Panda in Chinese is 熊猫, literally bear-cat. And not only that, but Pandaren is 熊猫äșș or Bear-Cat-Person

It was too perfect. Smooth transition.
