I wish I could remember why I rolled (Male) Undead, but every day I wish I were a Dwarf :( Granted both races look dumb in w/e gear they have IMO, but I liberally use Deviates to offset that.

 

Darkchani

wotf sounded somewhat usefull, canibalize badass and way longer water breathing king...

i was pretty much spot on, except for the order of which one is the best :P

oh, and troll +throw sounded bad for a mage and berserking was pretty unappealing, and i wanted to be horde...

i wish i was alliance tho... but the BE paladins are coming so im just waiting instead ;)

Troll because even as early as the release in Europe, Undead rogue seemed too popular already. Don't think I even looked at the racials.

Knew my friends from alpha/beta were rolling alliance. Knew I liked paladin class for healing, support and a bit of tanking in 2 man.

I didn't like the looks of dwarves, but the human males were also damn ugly.

So it really came down to liking the human 1-6 area better, and liking the +spirit (it was a long time ago, OK? No mp5 back then) and LOVING the +5 weapon skill.

Trolls are ugly as fuck, and they previously weren't useful for hunters. Taurens were alright, but I liked the way Orc's looked more. Having 5% more HP would be better then a useless pet that does more dmg...

Zalera

Because Gnome druids were definitely not available. /furious rage

 

Starks

Troll axethrowers in Warcraft 2 were badass, nuff said. Who cares about racials when picking a character you're going to be looking at for 80+ days played?

 

Tuco

Dwarves were the more popular classes for priests(clerics) in my EQ1 guild.
Dwarves have desperate prayer.

Stoneform/fear ward were not really a big deal to me, were just icing on the cake.

 

Chaotik

Night elf warrior , Priest , Druid .....

Because we all know how much NE racials own.................................................................................. ................................................................................

Why wouldn't you roll a gnome if you go warrior? :)

 

CrazyCarl

My hunter is a troll. He's mad pimp. They also look really cool shooting a bow.

 

Wong-Fei-Hung

I wish I could change my nelf to a gnome :(

I rolled nelf cause of the glowy eyes :x

 

Fukasa

Troll (warrior)

The 2h Axe and 2h Sword animations were just too cool to pass up.

After all my time played, my thoughts are female UD for cool flips while tanking, and wotf.

Friend who got me to buy the game was alliance, rogue sounded fun, and I was drunk so gnome appealed. I'd probably have been human otherwise.

Stupid drunkenness, costing me 5 skill and 10% rep. :/

troll because they look incredibly awesome. The beserking and Hex of Weakness made them an interesting choice for priest at least.

 

Chaotik

Everytime I think I could have + 5 weapon skill from human bonus I want to /wrists






But then I would be pretty damn ugly !

I wasn't drunken when I chose my nightelf...i prolly should 've been...else I'd chosen a human or a gnome....n811 racials are imho the worst for a rogue...

 

Hanny

Undead spell casting animations, and just looks in general and wotf.

 

Elendril

because i wanted to ride a tiger.

i played a hunter so i could have a tiger pet.

no, i'm not kidding.

First character (Male UD Rogue, March 2005): I knew I was playing Horde and after reading the manual I was very drawn in to the lore surrounding the Forsaken. I also liked that Rogues had an ability called "Eviscerate," and so it was. Then I found out it was the most common race/class combo Hordeside. Oops.

Most recent character (Female Tauren Druid, May 2006): Needed a Druid and Taurens were the only option. I originally rolled a Male but didn't like the bulkiness of his upper body/shoulders, so I rerolled female.

What about Jersey? Mafioso, murderers, addicts, juvenile vagrants, Bon Jovi. Here they praise these felonious people. Blighted little Jersey: guns, hookers, Goombas, Atlantic City. "Come home, criminal miscreants" reads the tourism website. And here come the hucksters, racketeers, trannies, and every korrupt-cop. Jersey, news flash: Criminals rarely benefit children, businesses, or organizations.

Night elf racials are pretty much lose for everything except pvp , shadowmeld guarding flags in AB is fun.

Dwarf. I don't regret a thing.

Night Elves were too tall and gangly, Humans have no wrists, and Gnomes were too small.

dogg don\'t piss on me I just invented photoshop !

 

Nite_Moogle

Tauren look awesome.

 

CrazyCarl

Try casting heals :( I'll give you the offensive spell animations are cool, though casting dots/hots and Mind Blast just looks stupid.

 

Mem

True...as a parttime pvper I would even value it if I weren't playing a stealth class already....that's why I mentioned gnomes...escape artist is pretty cool.
