Why did you choose your Race?

  • I like the Alliance aesthetic
  • Female nelves look good
  • Shadowmeld is useful in all kinds of situations.

The reason is obviousā€¦ Because Orcs are the superior race and everything else are just animalsā€¦

But in all seriousness :

(A) Disclaimer : I reject the lore of Magā€™ar Orcs. For me they are just orcs from TBC Nagrand that did not cross the dark portal in WC1 and WC2.

So Magā€™ar Orcs == Green Orcs.

(B) Back in 2005 wich really bad graphics, FOrcs had more or less the best outline of a Warrior (the class I used to main). Humans Males used to be deformed, and females Humans extremely flimsy to be a warrior.

So FOrc warrior it was in 2005. Even though they were universally considered one of the ugliest toons to play, together with FDwarf.

But I get attached to my toons. So I stuck with FOrc. THE superior race and gender in WoW.

My OG hunter (Tahra) was originally Female Orc. She was BEAUTIFUL.

Besides I really think itā€™s more universally accepted that female trolls were the worst of the worst in vanilla. Or a female gnome with one of those faces from hell!

Anywayā€¦ Female orcs still have a special place in my heart due to it being my first character and main throughout vanilla, tbc and wotlk.

My reason was because I really liked the Night Elves, High Elves and Blood Elves as well as their looks.
Night Elf racial is pretty insane for PvP and M+, which is why I chose to level my Night Elf Warlock because the power of Destruction and being able to meld and drop aggro instantly is pretty insane.

I also really love Blood Elf Mages and Blood Elf Priests for looks and lore.

I do wish I could play a High Elf Hunter though.

Nehhh. I love pandaren too. Chen Stormstout is one of my favorite NPCs since WC3 (together with Rexxar). I actually really love the style/theme of this character. Heā€™s just an alt anyway, but I do enjoy playing him. The pandaren animations and such are so good.

Tahra is waiting for Dracthyr to be hunters; Iā€™ll probably change her then.
If they have the option to stay in visage form. I donā€™t want any of that lizard stuff. :sweat_smile:

Drakthir ? I respect you too much to call you namesā€¦ There are inferior racesā€¦ and then there are untouchable races, like Drakthirā€¦

I chose the class to the race i find fitting
My first main was a Orc warrior till i found out how fun enhancment shaman was which became my new main as a Zandalari Troll. Sadly for me this spek became super unfun in SL and i switched to DK. Kul-Tiran was something i didnt had coverted yet and i thought ā€œWhy not?ā€ and She is my favorite character since then.

Night elves have the best customization but what finally made me pull the trigger were the ABS

74

Void Elf because my two favourite fantasies in game, are the H.P Lovecraft inspired old gods, and the Lich King/Dark Ranger fantasy I saw for the first time as a child, when I played Warcraft 3. :slightly_smiling_face: So VE allow me to play both fantasies. :partying_face:

Cause it combined in a cool way with a class. For example I didnā€™t care about playing an Undead Hunter until Shadowlands when I got to, whatā€™s the name of the zone, that looks like it smells really bad. Anyway, I got there saw the fauna and then the mail armor from the local covenant and decided it would look cool. And as you can see, it does. Basically the same thing for my other characters.

  1. Transmog looks best on human males usually, as itā€™s designed on them
  2. Iā€™m a boring person and I wanted to create a character that looked like me (not this one, my warrior - not that I am a warrior or a gym bro)
  3. I like Alliance cities more
  4. I find the other races except for undead and trolls a bit cringe or bad looking. I donā€™t like trollsā€™ accent so that leaves me with undead, which is indeed the only other race I play. I tolerate pandaren because I find them funny.

Zuggers gotta zug.

I currently main my Gnome mage which is also my first char, because super cute, funny and cool.

The Nightelf priest is my 2nd char, because of shadowmeld. Otherwise it would be female dreanei, which it was before. May switch back some day because imo there should be more of them, as well as Gnomes.

Cause Iā€™m making Azeroth great again.

I like blood elf model and I think it represents me the most compared to other races in the game.
I also like the Thalassian elves lore a lot and the Void is one of the two favorites forces in WoW, the other being Death.

I made a Void elf as soon as I unlock it when they came out.
Alliance and Horde is indifferent for me at this point, I donā€™t really have any preference or particular love for neither.
