They'll definitely do a character wipe, or they'll still have Dwarven Mages running around in retail.
Well, I was already planning on making an orc warlock and hunter... I'd make a tauren shaman instead of an orc but they haven't addressed my major concern with the tauren race - they have a hard time fitting in to human-sized doors, which are pretty common in undead lands as well as human/dwarf lands.

Nice racial traits. As it stands it's still....

Yeah, I'm wondering the same. Seems like Troll Rogue would be best... but I don't really like Trolls. Orc Hunter would be better than my original choice too... but I don't like Orcs, either. Hmm. These racial traits are neat, but kind of annoying at the same time.
Is WoW like most other MMORPGs, where you can choose whatever race/class combo you like best and gear can make up any shortcomings that you may have?

Not awful. It's too bad race stats dont account for much at this point. I love customization. The more the better, it's one of the main reasons I quit FFXI.
Some of them are pretty generic tho. <Reduces Nature Damage>...
... ok that's the crap SE would pull. At least total damage reduced is easy to calculate. One of the races had increased Dodge percent.. that could be a bit more difficult to find out.
well I was just wondering cuz I liked the idea of an undead night elf warlock. (someone told me if you pick undead you pick an undead race or something... undead human or hundead orc)
but gnome just has more magic abilities for a warlock as well as having much higher starting int, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't completely screwing myself by going undead instead of gnome.
I worry because like, in diablo 2 you can pick whatever skills you want in the beginning but once you make it to hell or something you just get raped unless you knew exactly what you were doing skill wise for the entire game.

so does the beta start monday, and signups will be available before then, or will signups not open up until the beta starts?
also, by nope u mean undead is just undead and u don't get a choice of what to look like? Then is every undead an undead human or what? I mean 'undead' is a pretty loose term that can mean a lot of things.

Ok, a few things:
Undead are all humans. Kinda. They look nothing like humans. None of em have big ears. Or ears. I don't really remember.
The racial bonuses probably won't account for much. Most of the bonuses will probably just be +10 to a skill/profession.
All innates are shown with their exact values too, so there's no reason to be afraid of vague wording.
Starting stats really don't mean that much, either. You aren't going to be screwed for picking whatever race for a class.

Well that's the point.
I downloaded that client Bristow linked to originally. Anyone know if that's the same one that the open beta will use? I dunno where to download the right client at... I guess I gotta wait until Open Beta actually opens. Clicking on Download World of Warcraft at the WoW site just brings me to the account creation page... step two says I need an Authentication Key before I can create an account.

Horde is just prima facie better than alliance.
I mean, trolls. Trolls, folks. Horde wins. And gnomes. Again, horde wins.
I just wish trolls had canabalize too. It'd make perfect sense for them to eat gnomes.

Just want to chime in that on Test server 6 today, a huge Horde offensive got STOMPED by the Darkshore NE town alliance (with the help of a few humans, dwarves and gnomes), even though they outleveled the town by 5+. They were the most disorganzied noob force I've had the pleasure to stomp.
A sorry site for Horde lovers everywhere.
Moral: You can love the Horde, by by the gods train your damn noobs! LOL

When was this? I was in Westfall earlier and there were a couple of stupid Orcs that kept running up to Sentinal Hill and getting their asses kicked.
They are not wiping from Stress Test to Open Beta:
