Alliance
- Dwarf. Hard-drinking stout people with Scottish accents, a desire to explore ruins that puts Indiana Jones to shame, and an affinity for projectiles? Sign me up. Dwarves also have possibly the best lore on the Alliance side and some of the best emotes in the game.
- Draenei and Gnome. You’ll have to forgive the tie. I simply can’t pick between the two. I love draenei for their ties to the orcs, their class choices, and their excellent starting area. I love gnomes because of their diminutive size and obsession with engineering.
- Night Elf. I like the Night Elves from Warcraft 3. I don’t really have a problem with the ones in WoW, I guess. They just don’t speak to me. I also hate their starting area.
- Human. I like the Defias quest chains, but the humans themselves just bore me silly. Also, the human males look retarded.
Horde
- Orc. The orcs are by far my favorite Warcraft race. I love how much like Klingons they are. I love their ties to shamanism and (unfortunately for them and all of Azeroth) witchcraft. The orcs did some pretty horrible things while under the influence of the Burning Legion, and they’re having to deal with that legacy of attrocities as they strive for a peaceful coexistence in their new homeland. If orcs could be every class, I would only play orcs.
- Tauren. I primarily like taurens because of the spiritual assistance they offer the orcs. Also, they can be druids. However, male taurens scratch their butts far too much for me. As a result, my druid is girl.
- Undead. I love their lore. I love their starting area. If I could somehow cover their bony elbows and knees with armor, they would probably be above taurens on this list. Undead were my race of choice in Warcraft 3.
- Blood Elf. I love the notion of magic-addicted elves. I love how ruthless the blood elves have become. They would probably be higher on the list if they didn’t constitute over half of the Horde population on every damn server.
- Troll. The trolls have just never appealed to me. Their quests are the same as the orc quests. I don’t really dig their accent, and I wish they had better hair options. As an aside, I would like the trolls better if they used the more feral-looking femaletroll models from the beta.
Overall
- Orc.
- Dwarf.
- Draenei and Gnome.
- Tauren.
- Undead.
- Night Elf.
- Blood Elf.
- Troll.
- Human.
